Trigger

Document Word Count Threshold

Triggers when a Google Doc's word/character count crosses a user-defined threshold. This trigger monitors a specific Google Doc and fires when its word or character count becomes greater than or equal to the configured threshold value.

Action

Create custom fields for envelope

This endpoint allows you to create or update custom fields for a specific docusign envelope. it is used to add or modify additional metadata to envelopes, which can be utilized for sorting, organizing, searching, and other downstream processes. the endpoint supports both list-type custom fields (with predefined options) and text-type custom fields (for free-form entry). this operation is applicable to draft and in-process envelopes only and should not be used for completed envelopes. custom fields added through this endpoint will be visible in the envelope settings section of the docusign console but will not be visible to envelope recipients.

Why this helps

Longer contracts often need special review, but their status is hard to spot in a busy envelope list.

  • Highlights larger agreements
  • Supports review queues
  • Creates consistent reporting data

Supported Triggers and Actions

Notis builds workflows that link Google Docs to Docusign. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

Google Docs triggers

Docusign actions

Recurring trigger

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

TriggerScheduled

Add contacts to contacts list

Adds multiple contacts to a user's contacts list in docusign. this endpoint allows for bulk addition of contacts with detailed information, including cloud provider details, phone numbers, email addresses, and notary-specific information. it's particularly useful for populating a user's address book efficiently or synchronizing contacts from external sources. the endpoint supports various contact types, including regular contacts, shared contacts, and signing groups. use this when you need to add or update multiple contacts simultaneously in a docusign account. note that while it can handle a variety of contact information, it does not provide functionality for removing or deactivating contacts.

ActionInstant

Webhook trigger

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

TriggerInstant

Addemailoverridestoenvelope

Adds or modifies email override settings for a specific docusign envelope, allowing customization of the reply-to email address and name, as well as bcc email addresses for archiving purposes. this endpoint should be used when you need to change email settings for an individual envelope, overriding the account-level configurations. it's particularly useful for setting up specialized archiving or customizing the reply-to information for specific envelopes. note that these changes only affect email communications that occur after the addition is made, and the bcc feature is limited to users with appropriate permissions. for security reasons, additional signer authentication is recommended when using the bcc for email archive feature.

ActionInstant

New Document Created

Triggers when a new Google Doc is created. This trigger monitors Google Docs and fires when new documents are detected. Uses timestamp filtering to efficiently poll for new documents.

TriggerPolling

Add envelope attachments

Adds one or more envelope attachments to a draft or in-process envelope in docusign. this endpoint allows developers to include additional files with an envelope that are not converted to pdf and are only accessible through the api. it's useful for attaching supporting documents or metadata files that should not be part of the main signing process. the endpoint supports up to 12 attachments per envelope, with a maximum file size of 50 mb each. note that these attachments are not visible in the docusign web application and are intended for programmatic use only.

ActionInstant

Document Deleted

Triggers when an existing Google Doc is deleted (moved to trash). This trigger monitors Google Docs and fires when documents are trashed.

TriggerPolling

Add existing brand to group

This endpoint adds one or more existing brands to a specified group in docusign. it allows users to associate multiple brands with a group, enabling customized branding for different groups within an account. the endpoint should be used when there's a need to update the brands associated with a particular group, such as when reorganizing branding strategies or expanding brand options for specific user groups. it's important to note that this endpoint only adds existing brands to a group and does not create new brands or modify brand details.

ActionInstant

Document Placeholder Filled

Triggers when a Google Doc's plain text changes such that a configured placeholder token/pattern is no longer present (i.e., the document has been filled in). This trigger monitors a specific Google Doc and fires when a placeholder pattern that was previously present is no longer found in the document's plain text.

TriggerPolling

Addfiletoworkspace

This endpoint adds a file to a specific folder within a docusign workspace. it allows users to upload and organize files in their docusign account, enabling better document management and collaboration. the method should be used when integrating file upload functionality with docusign workspaces, such as when adding new documents to a project or sharing files with team members. it's important to note that this endpoint only handles the file addition process and does not provide functions for file modification or deletion.

ActionInstant

Document Search Update

Triggers when a Google Doc matching a user-defined search query is newly created or updated since the last poll. This trigger uses timestamp filtering to efficiently monitor documents.

TriggerPolling

Add members to signing group

This endpoint adds one or more new members to a specified signing group within a docusign account. signing groups allow multiple users to act as potential signers for a document, where any member of the group can sign on behalf of the group. this tool should be used when you need to expand or update the membership of an existing signing group. the endpoint allows you to add up to 50 members to a signing group, which is the maximum limit. when adding members, you must provide their email addresses and usernames. it's important to note that docusign recommends separating signer recipients and non-signer recipients (such as carbon copy recipients) into different signing groups to maintain clarity in the signing process.

ActionInstant

Document Structure Changed

Triggers when a Google Doc's structure changes (headers/footers added/removed, tables/images count changes). This trigger monitors a specific document for structural changes like: - Headers added or removed - Footers added or removed - Tables added or removed - Images (inline objects) added or removed - Positioned objects added or removed - Footnotes added or removed

TriggerPolling

Add new users to a specified account

This endpoint adds new users to a specified docusign account, allowing bulk creation of up to 500 users in a single call. it's ideal for quickly setting up multiple users with customized permissions and settings. the endpoint requires at least a username and email for each user, but supports additional configuration options. it returns detailed information about created users, including ids and status.

ActionInstant

Document Updated

Triggers when an existing Google Doc is updated or modified. This trigger monitors Google Docs and fires when documents are updated.

TriggerPolling

Addorupdateaccountstamps

This endpoint allows you to add or update one or more account stamps in a docusign account. it provides a comprehensive way to manage signature and stamp settings, including image properties, user associations, and stamp-specific details. use this endpoint when you need to create new stamps or modify existing ones for an account. it's particularly useful for bulk operations on multiple stamps. note that this endpoint doesn't handle the actual process of signing documents, but rather manages the stamps available for use in the signing process.
