Does this work with other e-signature tools?

Any tool that can send a webhook with an envelope ID, signer email, and status works — just point its webhook settings at the n8n URL.

Can I remind more than once?

Yes — since the check runs daily, unsigned documents keep getting flagged until status changes; add escalation logic in the Code node if you want a different message on the 2nd+ reminder.

E-Signature Completion Tracker

Every DocuSign or PandaDoc status webhook updates a live tracker sheet. A daily check finds documents still unsigned after 3 days and automatically emails the signer a reminder while alerting your team on Slack — recovering stalled deals without anyone manually checking envelope status.

Automation flow

Step 1

Status Webhook

DocuSign/PandaDoc sends a status update to n8n.

Step 2

Upsert to Tracker

The envelope's row is created or updated in the tracker sheet.

Step 3

Daily Reminder Check

Each morning, unsigned documents 3+ days old are found.

Step 4

Reminder Email

The signer gets an automatic nudge.

Step 5

Team Alert

Slack notifies your team of what's stuck.

How it works

1Whenever DocuSign or PandaDoc fires a status webhook, the envelope ID, document name, signer email, and status are normalized.
2The row is upserted into Signature Tracker — matched by Envelope ID, so repeated status updates update the same row instead of duplicating it.
3Every morning at 9am, the tracker is scanned for documents that are still not "completed" and were last updated 3+ days ago.
4Those signers get an automatic reminder email, and your team gets a Slack summary of what's stuck.
