Start contract signing from a Jira issue
When a contract issue lands in Jira, have Notis prepare and send the Dropbox Sign request using the signer and document details available in the issue.
Trigger
New Issue
Fires when a new issue is created in the Jira project you configure. Only issues created in that project produce an event.
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
Contract requests can sit in Jira while someone manually copies details into Dropbox Sign and follows up later.
- Reduce repeated copying between Jira and Dropbox Sign.
- Start signing promptly when a contract issue is created.
- Keep the request tied to the originating Jira issue.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Jira and Dropbox Sign once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis in one instruction to send a Dropbox Sign request for new Jira contract issues using the document and signer details in the issue.
- 4Pick Jira New Issue as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real Jira contract issue and confirm the request details before relying on it.
Questions about this workflow
Which Jira issues start this automation?
Only new issues in the Jira project configured for the New Issue trigger. Describe the contract context in the instruction so Notis can assess each issue.
Does the issue need signer and document details?
Yes. The issue or other information available to Notis must provide the documents and signer details needed for a Dropbox Sign request.
Will Dropbox Sign email the signers?
Yes. Send Signature Request sends emails to the specified signers with links to view and sign.
