Keep agreement follow-up moving from a Canvas discussion
When a discussion message makes clear that a request needs another nudge, resend the existing Documenso signing request.
Trigger
New Canvas Discussion Message
Polls Canvas discussion topics for new messages.
Action
Resend Document For Signing V1
Tool to re-send a document for signing via POST /api/v1/documents/{id}/resend.
Why this helps
A request can remain unsigned while follow-up gets buried in a course conversation and other priorities.
- Turn a relevant discussion follow-up into a resend action.
- Use the existing request and its recipients.
- Reduce manual document chasing when a reminder is needed.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Documenso once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis which discussion messages indicate a resend is needed and how to identify the existing Documenso document.
- 4Pick New Canvas Discussion Message as the trigger, choose where run reports go, and test with one real example.

Yes. This action resends an existing Documenso request. The document must be valid and eligible for resend.
