Send new Google Drive contracts for signature
A contract lands in Drive. Notis can send it for signature and report what happened, so the next step does not get lost in your inbox.
Trigger
File Created
Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.
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
New contracts can sit in Drive while someone remembers to prepare and send the signature request.
- Start signature requests as soon as a contract is created.
- Use signer details and instructions supplied in the automation prompt or document context.
- Send a run report to a channel you already check.
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 send newly created contract documents for signature using the signer details and message you provide.
- 4Pick the Google Drive File Created trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real contract and confirm the request details before relying on it.
Questions about this workflow
Does this work for every new Drive file?
Describe which new documents count as contracts in your instruction. The File Created trigger starts on new files, and Notis can use the context you provide to decide whether the document is ready to send.
Where do signer details come from?
Provide the signer names and email addresses in your instruction or in information available with the document. The workflow cannot infer missing recipient details.
Will the workflow send the document immediately?
The Send Signature Request action sends an email to specified signers. Test with one real example and include clear instructions for which documents are ready to send.

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.

Tool to create a new Dropbox Sign account associated with a specified email address. Use when you need to programmatically register new users in the Dropbox Sign platform.
File Updated
Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
