Turn a reviewed GitHub contract request into an eSignature request

Keep the handoff deliberate: when an authorized reviewer adds your contract-approved label to a restricted GitHub request, Notis can create and send the specified template to its named signer for signature.

Trigger

New Issue Event

Triggers when a new issue event occurs in a GitHub repository. Covers all issue timeline events such as issues being closed, reopened, assigned, unassigned, labeled, unlabeled, milestoned, demilestoned, renamed, locked, or unlocked. Events can optionally be filtered by type. The payload includes the event type, timestamp, the actor who triggered the event, the affected issue details, and any associated commit references.

Action

Create Contract

Tool to create a new contract using a specified template and signer details. use after selecting a template when you need to send a contract for signature.

Why this helps

Contract preparation and approval details can get separated, making it easy to miss a follow-up or send the wrong document when juggling legal and product work.

  • Use an explicit GitHub approval event as the gate before sending a contract for signature.
  • Require a specific existing eSignatures.io template and verified signer details before action.
  • Keep the request and approval trail near the work item without automating anyone's signature.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect GitHub and eSignatures.io to Notis once, and use a restricted private repository for contract requests and signer details.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally; instruct it to send only when an approved reviewer adds your dedicated contract-approved label, and only when the template and signer details are complete.
  • 3Select the GitHub issue event trigger filtered to the labeled event, configure the authorized reviewer identity in the prompt, and choose a channel for run reports.
  • 4Test with a nonbinding template and test signer first. Confirm that only an authorized approval creates and sends the signature request.

Questions about this workflow

Does this only prepare a draft, or does it send the contract?

The selected action creates a contract using a template and signer details for signature. Treat it as an external send: run it only after the authorized approval label is added and the request has been checked.

Will GitHub activity sign the contract for someone?

No. This workflow sends a contract for the named signer to review and sign. It does not sign on anyone's behalf.

What if the issue is missing a template or signer details?

Have Notis stop and report the missing information. Do not choose an inferred signer or substitute a different template.
