Automatically sign PDFs from a watched Google Drive folder with PDF API Hub
Auto E-Sign PDF — Google Drive Watcher
Automatically signs PDF documents the moment they land in a Google Drive folder — no manual steps needed. The signed output is routed to a Drive folder.
How it works
Google Drive Trigger watches a folder every minute for newly created files Download file fetches the file from Drive into the workflow Config sets your signature URL, position (x/y), and output method (drive or email) Is PDF? filters out non-PDF files — only PDFs proceed Sign a PDF overlays your signature image at the configured coordinates using PDF API Hub Output Router sends the signed PDF to Drive Log records the filename and signed status for auditing
