Check signature request details after a status change

When Box reports a Sign request update, Notis can look up the related Dropbox Sign request to support your next decision.

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

Get Signature Request

Retrieves the current status and complete details of a signature request by ID. Use this action to: - Check if signers have viewed, signed, or declined the request - Get signer information and signature timestamps - Access form field responses and custom field values - Retrieve URLs for document downloads and management - Monitor signature request progress and completion status Returns detailed information including signer names, emails, signing status, custom fields, response data, attachments, and signing options. Handles errors gracefully with structured error responses for invalid or non-existent signature request IDs.

Why this helps

Status changes across signing tools can require repeated manual lookups before anyone knows what to do next.

  • Look up detailed signer and status information in Dropbox Sign.
  • Cut down on repeated manual status checks.
  • Use the retrieved request information for instructed follow-up.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Box and Dropbox Sign once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
  • 3Tell Notis how to identify the related Dropbox Sign request and what details to summarize.
  • 4Choose the Box Sign Request Status Changed trigger and select where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real status change and confirm the retrieved request matches.

Questions about this workflow

Will this update the status in Box?

No. The Dropbox Sign action retrieves request details. It does not change the Box request.

What if the Box event has no Dropbox Sign request identifier?

Provide a reliable way for Notis to identify the matching Dropbox Sign request. If that information is unavailable, the workflow cannot make the lookup reliably.
