Give actionable email requests a place on the board
When an email contains a clear piece of work, Notis can capture it as a Basecamp card for the team to review.
Trigger
New Email Received
Trigger for new emails in an AgentMail inbox
Action
Create Card in Column
Tool to create a new card in a column of a Basecamp card table. Use when you need to add a card to a card table column with optional content and due date.
Why this helps
Requests sent by email can disappear from view before anyone adds them to the team's board.
- Bring actionable requests into the team's visual workflow.
- Keep the request's context with the card.
- Reduce manual copying from inbox to board.

- 3In one instruction, tell Notis how to identify a clear request and create a useful Basecamp card.
