Why this helps
Teams miss useful updates when events remain in a separate stream from their project conversations.
- Bring timely updates into the team's project conversation.
- Share concise context instead of raw event payloads.
- Reduce context switching between event streams and project chat.

Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ably and Basecamp once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis what you want from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to summarize relevant incoming events and post the update to the specified Basecamp Campfire using its chatbot integration.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger, select a report channel, and test with one real event.
