FAQ

Questions about Send Signature Request.

What does the Send Signature Request action do in Dropbox Sign?

Sends a fresh signature request from uploaded documents (not templates) with signers, signing order, and message. For one-off bespoke contracts where you're composing the document each time rather than templating.

What inputs does Send Signature Request require?

Required: Title, Signer Email, Signer Name, File URL (publicly accessible). Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.

Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?

Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.

What happens if Dropbox Sign returns an error?

The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Dropbox Sign returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.

Does Send Signature Request support batch operations?

Run Send Signature Request inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within Dropbox Sign's rate limits.
