Trigger

Action

- Make likely source designs easier to locate.
- Reduce time spent reconstructing document context.
- Include useful Canva links in a sign request report.
Setup

- 1Connect Box and Canva once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create a named automation from Automations, New Automation.
- 3In one plain-language instruction, ask Notis to use available Box Sign request context to find likely Canva design references and include them in the run report.
- 4Pick the Box New Sign Request Created trigger, choose where reports go, and test with one real request.
Questions about this workflow
Does this retrieve the signed document?
No. The selected Canva action retrieves design metadata and access information. The workflow uses the Box event context to help identify a likely design.
What if the request does not identify a source design?
Ask Notis to report that no confident match was found rather than presenting an uncertain design as the source.
