Track Box Sign Requests as Linear Issues
When you send a document for signature via Box Sign, Notis creates a Linear issue to track the approval. Never lose track of who needs to sign.
Trigger
New Sign Request Created
Triggers when a new Box sign request is created. This trigger monitors Box sign requests and fires when new sign requests are detected.
Action
Create linear issue
Creates a new issue in a specified linear project and team, requiring a title and description, and allowing for optional properties like assignee, state, priority, cycle, and due date.
Why this helps
Sign requests disappear into Box and you miss follow-ups because your issue tracker has no visibility into signature workflows.
- Sign requests are visible in Linear with the rest of your work
- No more forgotten signature requests that fall through the cracks
- Clear deadline tracking for documents waiting for signatures
- Team stays informed without checking Box separately
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Box and Linear to Notis.
- 2Create an automation named 'Box Sign requests become Linear issues.'
- 3Set the prompt to 'When a new Box Sign request is created for [document type], create a Linear issue titled 'Signature needed: [document]' and assign it to the signatory.'
- 4Use 'New Sign Request Created' as your trigger.
- 5Select your notification channel.
- 6Test by creating a Box Sign request and watching the issue appear.
Questions about this workflow
Can I automatically assign signatories in Linear?
Yes. Notis can map Box signers to Linear team members. Set that up in your prompt or let Notis ask you the first time.
What if the signatory isn't in Linear yet?
Notis can create the issue unassigned or assign it to a general 'signatures' team. You choose in the prompt.
Does it track signature status changes?
Yes. You can set up a second automation to update the Linear issue when the signature status changes in Box.
