Sign Request Reminder: Create Slack Reminder for Box Sign
Sign requests get created in Box, and you forget to follow up. Get a Slack reminder the moment a new request is sent.
Trigger
New Sign Request Created
Triggers when a new Box sign request is created. This trigger monitors Box sign requests and fires when new sign requests are detected.
Action
Create a reminder
Creates a slack reminder with specified text and time; time accepts unix timestamps, seconds from now, or natural language (e.g., 'in 15 minutes', 'every thursday at 2pm').
Why this helps
Documents sit unsigned because you're not tracking requests. Deals stall while signature requests slip your attention.
- Never forget to track signature requests
- Keep signature workflows front and center
- Speed up document turnaround times
- Reduce deal delays due to forgotten signatures
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Box and Slack to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: 'Create a Slack reminder whenever a new Box Sign request is created.'
- 3Optionally, specify which types of requests to monitor (all, or just those with certain criteria).
- 4Configure reminder timing (immediately or at a specific time).
- 5Test by creating a sign request and confirming the Slack reminder appears.
Questions about this workflow
Will I get a reminder for every new sign request?
Yes, unless you customize the automation to filter specific types of requests.
Can I set a custom reminder time?
Yes. You can trigger reminders immediately or at a specific time (e.g., morning, end of day).
Can I include document details in the reminder?
Yes. Ask Notis to include the signer names, due date, and document title in the reminder text.
