Send Box documents when they are ready
Let Notis watch a Box file change and start a Dropbox Sign request when your instruction says the document is ready.
Trigger
File Metadata Changed
Triggers when a file's metadata or properties change in Box. This trigger monitors a specific Box file and fires when changes are detected in key fields like name, description, size, modification time, parent folder, or status.
Action
Send Signature Request
Tool to create and send a new signature request with documents. Use when you need to send documents for electronic signature. The action sends emails to all specified signers with links to view and sign the documents. Supports multiple signers, CC recipients, custom fields, form fields, and various signing options. Documents can be uploaded directly or provided via publicly accessible URLs.
Why this helps
Documents may be updated before they are ready to send, making it easy to start a signature request too early.
- Use file changes as a prompt for a readiness check.
- State approval criteria in plain language.
- Start signing once the criteria are met.
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.
- 3In one instruction, define how Notis should recognize a ready document and identify its signers.
- 4Choose the Box File Metadata Changed trigger and select where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real metadata change and review the request before using it broadly.
Questions about this workflow
Can this detect an approval field?
The trigger detects changes to file metadata or properties. Specify the relevant information and readiness criteria in your instruction, and test that the event provides what is needed.
Will it send a request for every metadata change?
Tell Notis the conditions that indicate readiness. The workflow should be tested with both a qualifying and a non-qualifying change.
