Extend a signature deadline from a contract comment

A comment can flag that a signing window needs more time. Let Notis check the request and extend the related BoldSign document's expiry when appropriate.

Trigger

Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)

Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.

Action

Extend Document Expiry

Tool to extend a document's expiry date. Use before signing to prolong a document's deadline.

Why this helps

Deadline changes discussed in document comments can be overlooked while the signing clock keeps running.

  • Catch expiry extension requests closer to where they are discussed.
  • Reduce manual follow-up on a deadline change.
  • Keep the action focused on requests that identify a related BoldSign document and new expiry.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Drive and BoldSign once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name and prompt.
  • 3Tell Notis to extend the related BoldSign document's expiry only when a new comment requests it and provides enough details.
  • 4Pick the Google Drive Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides) trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real comment and confirm the intended expiry change in BoldSign.

Questions about this workflow

Will any new comment extend the expiry?

Your instruction should require a clear extension request and enough information to identify the document and deadline. The action should not be used for unrelated comments.

Does the comment automatically provide a valid new expiry date?

Not necessarily. If a date is missing or ambiguous, Notis cannot reliably infer the intended deadline; provide the date in the comment or instruction.

File Shared (Permissions Added)

Triggers when new sharing permissions are granted to a file or folder. Uses Drive's `changes.list` endpoint with inline `permissions` in the `fields` mask so each change carries the file's current permission set provider-atomically. We diff that against `seen_permission_keys` to identify newly added grants. Drive page tokens are the primary cursor; if Drive rejects a stored token, the trigger raises `PollingTriggerError` without clearing state rather than silently re-baselining and dropping events. Limitation: truly ephemeral permissions (added and revoked between two polls without any other file modification in between) are not detected. Drive Activity API would catch those but requires an additional OAuth scope and a different payload contract.
