Send a Dropbox Sign request from a new Outlook email
Stop forwarding contracts manually. Let Notis read the incoming request, find the attached document, and send it for signature.
Trigger
New Outlook Message
Triggered when a new message is received in the Outlook mailbox.
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
Signature requests get buried in busy inboxes and require repetitive downloading, uploading, and follow-up.
- Reduces inbox context switching
- Starts signing workflows quickly
- Keeps a clear run report
