Send new Google Drive contracts for signature
A new contract lands in Drive. Notis can help get it in front of the right people for signature without another reminder on your to-do list.
Trigger
File Created
Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.
Action
Send Document
Tool to send a document for eSignature. Use when you need to deliver documents to recipients for signing.
Why this helps
Manually noticing a new contract and starting a separate signature request adds friction and can delay the agreement.
- Reduce the gap between creating a contract and sending it for signature.
- Keep the request process tied to the Drive file event.
- Use a plain-language instruction to tell Notis which new files count as contracts and who should sign.
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 send newly created contract files for signature in BoldSign and specify the signer details it should use.
- 4Pick the Google Drive File Created trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real contract file and confirm the resulting BoldSign request.
Questions about this workflow
Will every new Drive file be sent for signature?
The instruction should describe which newly created files are contracts and when Notis should send them. Review the first real example before relying on the automation.
Where do signer details come from?
Include the intended signer details in your instruction or the source information available to Notis. Do not assume the file name alone identifies signers.

List Behalf Documents
Tool to list documents sent on behalf of users. Use when fetching and filtering documents you've sent or on behalf of others.
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.
