Start a signature request from an incoming handoff
When another system is ready with the agreement and signer, let a webhook hand the request to Notis and Dropbox Sign.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
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
Manual handoffs from a lead or project system can delay signature requests and leave required details scattered.
- Start a signature request when an HTTP request arrives.
- Reduce manual re-entry between a source system and Dropbox Sign.
- Keep required document and signer details explicit in the handoff.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Dropbox Sign once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and state the document and signer details required in the incoming context.
- 3Pick a webhook as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 4Test with one real handoff containing the document and signer details.
Questions about this workflow
What information must the webhook provide?
Provide enough context to identify the document and signer, along with any other details required by the request. The workflow cannot invent missing information.
Will the signer receive an email?
Yes. Send Signature Request creates and sends a request with documents, emailing the specified signers links to view and sign.
Can this be used for bulk sending?
This workflow uses Send Signature Request for a request. Bulk sending is a separate action for sending up to 250 templated requests.
