Bring priority-tagged work into Basecamp triage
Give priority work a visible place on the Basecamp board as soon as it receives the signal your team uses.
Trigger
Tag Added to Task
Triggers when a tag is added to a task. Note: Asana's event structure is inverted for tag events — the resource is the task and the parent is the tag. So parent.gid gives the tag GID.
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
Priority signals can be overlooked when the task and the team's triage board live in different places.
- Make priority signals visible to the team.
- Collect important work in a shared triage space.
- Reduce manual copying between task tools.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and Basecamp once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis in plain language.
- 3Tell Notis which tag indicates priority and ask it to create a card with the task's useful context.
- 4Pick the Asana Tag Added to Task trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test by adding the tag to one real task and review the new card.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis tell which tag was added?
Yes. In Asana's tag event, the parent resource is the tag, so its GID identifies the tag.
Can the card summarize why the task is a priority?
Ask Notis to include a brief summary based on the task details and comment context available to the workflow.
