Move approved Box contracts into signature from Slack

Once a contract is approved for signature, Notis can prepare its Box Sign request from the clear approval and signer details in Slack.

Trigger

Channel Message Received

Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.

Action

Create box sign request

Creates a signature request. this involves preparing a document for signing and sending the signature request to signers.

Why this helps

An approved contract waits because someone has to remember to start the signature process and gather the right details.

  • Shorten the gap between contract approval and signature preparation.
  • Make the approval and signers easier to carry into the next step.
  • Reduce the chance that an approved contract sits idle.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and Box to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create an automation and describe which authorized messages approve a Box contract for signature.
  • 3Choose the channel message received trigger and explain how to identify the contract and intended signers in the prompt.
  • 4Choose a channel for run reports and test with a real approved contract and correct signer details.

Questions about this workflow

Will any contract mention start a signature request?

Use a narrow prompt requiring explicit approval for signature and clear identification of the file and signers.

Does Box send the request to signers?

Creating a Box Sign request prepares and sends the signature request; ensure the approval and signer details are confirmed first.
