Resend signing packets after Google Docs structure changes
Keep the signature packet aligned with the latest approved layout.
Trigger
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
Action
Edit and Resend Signature Request
Edits and resends an existing non-templated signature request with updated documents, signers, or settings. Use this tool when you need to modify an already-created signature request and resend it to signers. Note: This will reset signatures - anyone who already signed will need to sign again. Important: Edit and resend operations deduct from your signature request quota. Required: You must provide either 'files' or 'file_urls' (not both) and either 'signers' or 'grouped_signers' (not both).
Why this helps
A changed table or header makes an active signing request outdated.
- Prevents signers from using stale documents
- Keeps layout changes synchronized
- Reduces manual resend work

- 1Connect Google Docs and Dropbox Sign.

Questions about this workflow
Will prior signatures remain?
Editing and resending resets signatures, so everyone who signed must sign again.
