Move a Coupa approval forward after Box Sign completion

When the required signature is complete, Notis can approve the corresponding pending Coupa approval under a clear rule you provide.

Trigger

Box Sign Request Status Changed

Triggers when a Box Sign request's status or meaningful fields change. This trigger monitors a specific Box Sign request and fires when changes are detected in key fields like status, signer decisions, document readiness, or completion state.

Action

Approve Approval

Tool to approve a pending approval record. Use when you need to programmatically approve a pending approval by ID.

Why this helps

A completed signature in Box can sit unnoticed while the related Coupa approval waits for someone to connect the two records.

  • Reduce the delay between signature completion and the next approval step.
  • Avoid checking Box Sign status manually.
  • Keep the approval action tied to a specific signed request and Coupa record.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Box and Coupa once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation by telling Notis the outcome you want and the signed-document condition that permits approval.
  • 3Pick the Box Sign Request Status Changed trigger for the request to monitor.
  • 4Choose a report channel, then test with one real completed request and matching pending approval.

Questions about this workflow

Will this approve every Coupa invoice when any Box Sign request completes?

No. In your instruction, specify how the completed request must match a Coupa record and what signature condition permits the approval. The approval action requires a pending approval record.

Can it approve an invoice that is still a draft?

The listed action approves a pending approval record. The workflow depends on Coupa having an approval record that is pending.
