About

Dropbox Sign ships in the w6w first-party pack. It declares 27 actions, 2 health checks, and the host runs its code in a sandbox that never sees the credential.

Overview

Dropbox Sign (formerly HelloSign) sends documents out for signature and tracks them to completion, alongside the templates and teams that structure how they go out. Send a document directly or fill and send a reusable template, then follow a request’s signer-by-signer status, nudge someone who hasn’t signed, or cancel one that hasn’t finished — down to fetching the signed PDF once it’s done.

Templates make repeat sends fast: fill a template’s roles instead of re-uploading fields every time, and manage who on the account has access to which templates. Bulk send jobs and their results are readable too, for visibility into requests generated from a batch. Account and team info — remaining plan quota, team members, pending invitations — comes back for workflows that need to check headroom or account ownership before acting.

Every action explicitly declares whether it runs in Dropbox Sign’s test mode or produces a legally binding signature, since that default matters for anything that automates sending real contracts. Good for onboarding flows, contract routing and any process that needs a document signed and confirmed without a human tracking it by hand.

Build with Dropbox Sign

Three routes to the same 27 actions. The Workflow tab is generated from Dropbox Sign's own manifest and carries its real ids, so it is copy-pasteable; the Code and CLI examples are the same call for any action on any app, so every app-specific value in them is a blank you fill in.

Get the account

account-get

Retrieve the connected account, its plan and its remaining quota.

Update the account

account-update

Change the account's event callback URL or locale.

Get a bulk send job

bulk-send-job-get

List bulk send jobs

bulk-send-job-list

Get an embedded signing URL

embedded-sign-url-get

Request a report

report-create

signature-request-list

List signature requests, optionally filtered by Dropbox Sign's search syntax.

Release an on-hold request

signature-request-release-hold

Send a signature request that was created on hold.

Send a reminder

signature-request-remind

Email one signer a reminder to sign.

Remove access to a signature request

signature-request-remove

Send a signature request

signature-request-send

Send a signature request from a template

signature-request-send-with-template

Fill a saved template's roles and fields and send it for signature.

Update a signer

signature-request-update

Correct one signer's email address or name, or move the expiry.

Get the team

team-get

Retrieve the team this account belongs to.

List team invites

team-invites-list

team-members-list

List the members of a team, with their account ids and roles.

Share a template with a user

template-add-user

Give another account access to use a template.

Delete a template

template-delete

Delete a template. Requests already sent from it are unaffected.

Get a template's files

template-files-get

Get a temporary download link, or a data URI, for a template's documents.

Get a template

template-get

Retrieve one template's roles, fields and documents.

List templates

template-list

List the reusable templates this account can send.

Remove a user from a template

template-remove-user

Revoke another account's access to a template.

Create an unclaimed draft

unclaimed-draft-create

Create a claimable draft and return the one-time URL that claims it.

A workflow step names the app and the action, and the editor fills in the connection when you pick one. This is the Step shape from the workflow spec, carrying Dropbox Sign's real ids.

+22 more actions available

Every app-specific value here is a blank you have to fill in. An app action is reached through the connection that authenticates it, so the address is a connection id, not the app id — and connections belong to your account, so a public page cannot know yours. Create one for Dropbox Sign, then fill in the three blanks: conn_YOUR_CONNECTION_ID, the action key, and the parameters that action declares. The call itself is real — the shape is transcribed from the studio's own snippet builder, which prints the same kind of blanks — but nothing in it is specific to Dropbox Sign. The Workflow tab is where this app's real ids are.

Install
npm install @w6w/sdk
yarn add @w6w/sdk
pnpm add @w6w/sdk
deno add npm:@w6w/sdk
Code
import { W6wClient, isActionRun } from "@w6w/sdk";

// Reads W6W_BASE_URL and W6W_TOKEN from the environment when omitted.
const client = new W6wClient();

const envelope = await client.run({
  urn: "conn_YOUR_CONNECTION_ID",
  action: "bulk-send-job-get",
  payload: {
    bulkSendJobId: "<value>",
    // returnAll: "<value>",
    // limit: "<value>",
  },
});

if (isActionRun(envelope)) console.log(envelope.value);
Install the CLI
npm install -g @w6w/cli
CLI
w6w run conn_YOUR_CONNECTION_ID --action bulk-send-job-get --payload '{"bulkSendJobId":"<value>"}'

Give an AI agent Dropbox Sign — without giving it Dropbox Sign's credentials. One MCP endpoint exposes every app, function and workflow the caller is entitled to, as tools it can discover and run. Access is granted per team while we onboard.

One tool call
{
  "name": "w6w_invoke",
  "arguments": {
    "ref": "app:io.w6w.dropbox-sign#bulk-send-job-get",
    "input": {
      "bulkSendJobId": "<bulkSendJobId>"
    }
  }
}

Every tool names its target with a single ref. The app: form above doesn't name a connection at all — the host resolves which of the caller's Dropbox Sign connections to sign with, and refuses rather than guesses when the answer is ambiguous.

What the agent gets

Credentials it can't read

The token is attached host-side, at the moment of the call. It is never a tool argument, never in the model's context, and never in a transcript — so a prompt injection has nothing to exfiltrate.

A tool surface scoped to the caller

Tools are derived per end user from what that person has actually connected and is entitled to — not one shared bot identity carrying the union of everyone's access.

A durable workflow in one call

Multi-step work runs on the workflow engine and returns a run handle the agent can poll — retries, branching and state survive the conversation that started them.

Health-aware discovery

Dropbox Sign's declared health checks are on the surface too, so an agent can tell "the vendor is down" from "your credential expired" before it burns a retry on either.

The MCP surface is part of the hosted platform. Dropbox Sign itself is MIT, and the runtime that executes it is source-available (FSL).

Request MCP access

Health checks

Dropbox Sign declares its own checks, so its health is a property of the app rather than something the host guesses at.

service

Dropbox Sign platform status

The signing components on Dropbox Sign's own status page — not Dropbox's, and not the component group named API, which covers outbound callbacks. Unauthenticated and unsigned.

quota

Plan quota and request rate

Signature requests, documents and templates left on the plan, read from GET /account, plus the hourly request allowance from the same response's headers.
