Follow through on agreements you promised to send
A sent email can be the cue to get the agreement into Dropbox Sign, with Notis checking that the message gives enough detail to proceed.
Trigger
Email Sent
Triggers when a Gmail message is sent by the authenticated user. It polls the 'SENT' label and emits metadata including sender, recipients, subject, timestamp, and thread ID.
Action
Send Signature Request
Tool to create and send a new signature request with documents. Use when you need to send documents for electronic signature. The action sends emails to all specified signers with links to view and sign the documents. Supports multiple signers, CC recipients, custom fields, form fields, and various signing options. Documents can be uploaded directly or provided via publicly accessible URLs.
Why this helps
A promise to send a contract can get lost after you move on to the next email or task.
- Connect a sent promise to the next signing step.
- Avoid forgetting to create the request after replying.
- Use a clear instruction to skip messages without a ready document or signer.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Gmail and Dropbox Sign once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, then choose New Automation.
- 3Tell Notis to send a signature request only when a sent email explicitly promises an agreement and contains the necessary document and signer information.
- 4Pick Email Sent as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real sent message that includes or clearly identifies the agreement and signer.
Questions about this workflow
Does this send a request for every sent email?
No. In your instruction, specify that the message must explicitly promise an agreement and provide enough information to send it.
Can it use a document from an earlier thread?
Only if the message context available to Notis identifies the correct document. Tell Notis to skip and report cases where that is unclear.
