- Reduce manual checks for permission paperwork.
- Keep uploaded content and signature follow-up connected.

Questions about this workflow
Can it attach the uploaded file to the release?
The listed event reports new file uploads, while the listed send action sends a BoldSign document. Do not assume the upload is attached; confirm the prepared document and recipient in a real test.
Will every file upload require a release?
Your instruction should define which uploads need one, based on information returned by Canvas.
