Signature Status Alert: Slack Notification for Box Sign
Signature requests languish in Box while you wait for feedback. Get alerted in Slack the moment status changes.
Trigger
Box Sign Request Status Changed
Triggers when a Box Sign request's status or meaningful fields change. This trigger monitors a specific Box Sign request and fires when changes are detected in key fields like status, signer decisions, document readiness, or completion state.
Action
Post message to channel
Deprecated: posts a message to a slack channel, direct message, or private channel. use `send message` instead.
Why this helps
Documents sit unsigned because you're not tracking signature progress. By the time you follow up, deals have stalled.
- Track signature requests without manual checking
- Get alerts when documents are signed or rejected
- Spot bottlenecks in the signature process
- Keep deals moving with instant visibility
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Box and Slack to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: 'Alert me in Slack whenever a Box Sign request's status changes.'
- 3Select the sign request to monitor or ask Notis to monitor all new requests.
- 4Choose the Slack channel for status updates.
- 5Test by sending a sign request and confirming alerts when status changes.
