Check signing status from your follow-up email
If you email someone about a pending signature, Notis can retrieve the request status so you can see where things stand in the run report.
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
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
Checking a signature request means leaving the email thread and searching Dropbox Sign for the right request.
- Bring a request status check into the email follow-up workflow.
- See signer progress without a separate manual search.
- Avoid checking when the request cannot be identified from the message.
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 retrieve the status only when a sent follow-up clearly identifies a Dropbox Sign signature request.
- 4Pick Email Sent as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real sent follow-up that identifies an existing request.
Questions about this workflow
Can it find any request from just a recipient name?
Tell Notis to proceed only when it can identify the correct request. Similar names or unclear references should be reported for your review.
Will this send a reminder to the signer?
No. This workflow retrieves request details for the run report; it does not send signer reminders.
