Action

Get Message Categories

Tool to retrieve all message types (categories) from a Basecamp project. Use when you need to list all available message categories for organizing messages in a project.

Why this helps

Too many message categories make posting decisions slower and reduce consistency.

  • Simplifies communication choices
  • Finds redundant categories
  • Supports consistent project updates

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect 0CodeKit and Basecamp in Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation named Audit message categories.
  • 3Tell Notis to retrieve the project's message categories and flag overlaps, unclear labels, and categories with no apparent use.
  • 4Choose the Notis cron trigger and report destination.
  • 5Run one test on the selected project.

Questions about this workflow

Does it delete categories?
