Cancel an incomplete signature request from Slack
Stop an outdated request before it keeps chasing signers.
Trigger
Direct Message Received
Triggered when a new direct message (DM) is sent to a user in Slack. Catches all DMs across all DM channels.
Action
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.
Why this helps
Canceled deals and incorrect documents continue generating reminders because cancellation is delayed.
- Stop unnecessary signer reminders
- Reduce stale requests
- Keep cancellation tied to an explicit instruction
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slackbot and Dropbox Sign once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation that requires an explicit cancellation request and identifies the request.
- 3Pick Direct Message Received as the trigger.
- 4Choose where reports go, then test with one real cancellation DM.
