Check signature status from Drive agreement updates
If an agreement changes while signing is underway, check the related request status and report the details for a timely follow-up.
Trigger
File Updated
Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
Action
Get Signature Request
Retrieves the current status and complete details of a signature request by ID. Use this action to: - Check if signers have viewed, signed, or declined the request - Get signer information and signature timestamps - Access form field responses and custom field values - Retrieve URLs for document downloads and management - Monitor signature request progress and completion status Returns detailed information including signer names, emails, signing status, custom fields, response data, attachments, and signing options. Handles errors gracefully with structured error responses for invalid or non-existent signature request IDs.
Why this helps
Agreement updates and signature status live in different places, making it easy to miss a needed follow-up.
- Retrieve current request details when a tracked agreement changes.
- Surface signer progress and timestamps for follow-up.
- Use the request ID supplied in your process or document context.
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 to retrieve the related signature request details when a tracked agreement changes, and provide how its request ID can be identified.
- 4Pick the Google Drive File Updated trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real updated agreement that has a known Dropbox Sign request ID.

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.
