Look up a signature request from an email question
When someone asks where a signature stands, have Notis retrieve the matching Dropbox Sign request details for you to review in the run report.
Trigger
New Gmail Message Received Trigger
Triggers when a new message is received in Gmail.
Action
Get Signature Request
Retrieves the current status and complete details of a signature request by ID. Use this action to: - Check if signers have viewed, signed, or declined the request - Get signer information and signature timestamps - Access form field responses and custom field values - Retrieve URLs for document downloads and management - Monitor signature request progress and completion status Returns detailed information including signer names, emails, signing status, custom fields, response data, attachments, and signing options. Handles errors gracefully with structured error responses for invalid or non-existent signature request IDs.
Why this helps
A simple status question can trigger a distracting search across email and Dropbox Sign.
- Respond to status questions with current request details at hand.
- Reduce context switching between inbox and signing dashboard.
- Keep ambiguous request references flagged for review.

- 5Test with one real status question that identifies an existing request.
Questions about this workflow
Does it automatically reply to the sender?
No. This action retrieves request details. The run report can give you the information to use in a reply.
What if the email does not identify the request?
Tell Notis to report that it could not identify the request rather than guessing.
