Stop a pending request when a key attendee declines
A declined RSVP can change the next step. Use Notis to cancel a pending signature request when the decline means the agreement should stop.
Trigger
Attendee Response Changed
Polling trigger that fires when any attendee's RSVP changes to accepted, declined, or tentative. Returns attendee info and current status.
Action
Cancel Signature Request
Cancels an incomplete signature request. Use when you need to cancel a pending signature request that has not been completed. The operation is asynchronous and not reversible - once canceled, the signature request cannot be restored.
Why this helps
A contract can remain in progress after a key meeting participant declines, leaving founders to notice and cancel it manually.
- React to declined RSVP changes without manually checking every request.
- Cancel an incomplete request when the decline makes it unnecessary.
- Keep cancellation tied to a clear instruction and identifiable request.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Calendar and Dropbox Sign once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, with an instruction for when a decline should cancel a request.
- 3Pick Attendee Response Changed as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 4Test with one real declined RSVP and an identifiable incomplete signature request.
Questions about this workflow
Can this cancel a request that has already been completed?
No. Cancel Signature Request is for an incomplete request. Define the instruction to cancel only a pending request that should stop.
Is cancellation reversible?
No. Dropbox Sign cancellation is asynchronous and not reversible, so only use this automation when your rule clearly establishes that the request should be canceled.
How does Notis know which request belongs to the attendee?
The request must be identifiable from the event and available context or details you supply. The RSVP trigger returns attendee information and current status, not a Dropbox Sign request ID.
