Prepare signature drafts without sending too soon
Get the paperwork ready in Dropbox Sign while keeping the final send in the hands of the person who needs to review it.
Trigger
Page Properties Updated
Triggers when properties of a Notion page are updated. Customer optionally scopes with at most one of: - data_source_id: any row in this data source - page_id: this specific page - parent_page_id: any page whose immediate parent is this page With none set, fires for any property change in the workspace the integration has access to. Adding a column to a data source fires this trigger once per existing row. Customers can branch on `data.updated_properties` (array of property IDs) to filter downstream.
Action
Create Unclaimed Draft
Tool to create an unclaimed draft that can be claimed via a unique URL. Use when you need to prepare a signature request or document send that will be finalized later by someone else through the claim URL.
Why this helps
Preparing a document and deciding when to send it are different steps, but they often get mixed together under time pressure.
- Creates a prepared draft for later review.
- Separates document setup from the decision to send.
- Reduces the work needed when an approver is ready.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Dropbox Sign to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to prepare a signing draft when a document is ready for review.
- 3Give Notis one plain-language instruction describing the document, intended signers, and draft purpose.
- 4Select the Notion page properties updated trigger and pick a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one review record and confirm a draft is created without being sent.
Questions about this workflow
Does this email signers immediately?
The unclaimed draft action prepares a draft. Specify clearly that the workflow must not send a signature request.
When should this be used instead of sending?
Use it when a person must review or claim the draft before the signing request is finalized.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Dropbox sign. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Dropbox sign actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Invite User to Team
Tool to invite a user to your Team. Use when you need to add a member by email or account ID.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Add User to Template
Tool to grant a specified account access to a template. Use when you need to share a template with another user after confirming template and account identifiers.
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
Bulk create embedded signature request with template
Tool to create a BulkSendJob for embedded templated signature requests. Use when you need to send up to 250 embedded signature requests at once via one or more templates for iFrame signing.
Comment Created
Triggers when a new comment is created in Notion. Optional `page_id` filter scopes to comments on a specific page. When omitted, fires for any new comment in the workspace the integration has access to. Requires the 'Read comments' capability on the Notion integration. If a connection was authorized before that capability was enabled, the user must re-authorize the connection for comment events to flow.
Bulk send with template
Tool to create a BulkSendJob for templated signature requests. Use when you need to send up to 250 signature requests at once via one or more templates.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
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.
Database Created
Triggers when a new Notion database (the container) is created. A database is the post-2025-09-03 container that holds one or more data sources. This trigger fires for the container's creation event (`database.created`), distinct from `NOTION_DATASOURCE_CREATED` which fires when a new data source is added to an existing database. Most customers calling Notion's `POST /v1/databases` (the legacy API) or creating a database via the Notion UI will see this event. Adding a new data source to an existing database fires `data_source.created` instead — use `NOTION_DATASOURCE_CREATED` for that. Notion's payload puts `entity.type: "block"` (the container is a `child_database` block in the content tree) and `entity.id` is the database id.
Create Dropbox Sign Account
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.
Data Source Created
Triggers when a new Notion data source is created. Fires workspace-wide. The payload's `data.parent` carries the data source's tree parent (typically the teamspace) for downstream filtering. A single template-based database creation can fire multiple `data_source.created` events at once — one per data source the template instantiates.
Create API App
Tool to create a new Dropbox Sign API App. Use when you need to register a new application for API integration. The app will have a client_id for authentication and can be configured with OAuth, callbacks, and white labeling.
Data Source Schema Updated
Triggers when a Notion data source's schema is updated. Fires on column add / remove / rename. Payload includes `data.updated_properties: [{id, name, action}]` so consumers can discriminate the kind of change downstream. Optional `data_source_id` filter scopes to schema changes on a single data source. When omitted, fires for any schema change in the workspace the integration has access to. Note: adding a column also fires `page.properties_updated` once per existing row in the data source. Customers wanting a single structural-change signal should use this trigger.
Create Embedded Signature Request
Tool to create an embedded signature request for signing in an iFrame. Use when you need to initiate a signature request that will be signed within your application rather than via email links.
