Start client consent signing from an onboarding subpage
Let the consent page trigger its own signature step so important onboarding paperwork is less likely to be skipped.
Trigger
Page Added to Page
Fires when a new subpage (a `child_page` type block) is added under a specified parent Notion page.
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
Consent paperwork can get lost among onboarding notes, especially when every client has a slightly different setup.
- Makes a consent step part of the client onboarding flow.
- Reduces repeated manual initiation for each new client.
- Keeps the consent request close to its context.
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 send a consent form when its onboarding subpage is added.
- 3Give Notis a plain-language instruction naming the relevant page, form, and client signer.
- 4Select the Notion page added to page trigger for the onboarding parent and choose a run-report channel.
- 5Test by adding a test consent subpage and confirm the correct form is sent.
Questions about this workflow
Does a subpage need to be created for every client?
This works best when the onboarding process uses a consistent consent subpage as the readiness signal.
Can the request include more than one signer?
Yes, describe the intended signers in the instruction and keep their context available.

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.
