Notis

Retrieve completed signed documents from Slack

Make the signed file available as soon as completion is confirmed, without another manual status check.

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

Download Signature Request Files

Download files for a signature request as PDF (merged) or ZIP (individual documents). Returns immediately if files are ready, or indicates if files are still being prepared (409 status).

Why this helps

A completed agreement can still be hard to file when nobody remembers to retrieve the signed copy.

  • Start file retrieval from a clear completion notice.
  • Reduce the gap between signing and filing.
  • Keep the document identifier in its Slack context.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and Dropbox Sign once using the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it conversationally.
  • 3Write one instruction to download files for a specifically identified request only after Slack confirms completion.
  • 4Select the Slack channel message trigger and choose a run-report channel.
  • 5Test with one completed request and verify the retrieved file is ready for filing.

Questions about this workflow

Does this automatically file the document somewhere?

No. It retrieves the Dropbox Sign files; a separate supported destination or filing step would be needed.

What if the request is not complete yet?

Have Notis leave it alone and report that files are not ready rather than treating it as complete.
