Send approved Drive documents for signature
When a reviewer leaves the agreed approval comment, Notis can move the document to signature and send a run report.
Trigger
Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)
Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
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
Teams often approve a document in comments but still need someone to notice the approval and start signing.
- Reduce the gap between review approval and signature.
- Use a specific approval phrase to distinguish approval from discussion.
- Keep the signer instructions and run report together in the automation.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Dropbox Sign once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis which approval comment means the document is ready and provide signer details and the signing message.
- 4Pick the Google Drive Comment Added trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real approval comment and verify the request goes to the intended signers.
Questions about this workflow
Can any comment trigger a signature request?
State the exact approval wording in your instruction. Notis should only treat comments matching that wording as approval.
What if a comment does not include signer details?
Provide the recipients in the automation instruction or ensure the needed details are available in the document context. Missing recipient data must be supplied before sending.
Does the commenter automatically become a signer?
Do not assume that. Specify the intended signers and email addresses in your instruction.

File Deleted or Trashed

Cancel Signature Request
Cancels an incomplete signature request. Use when you need to cancel a pending signature request that has not been completed. The operation is asynchronous and not reversible - once canceled, the signature request cannot be restored.
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.
