Make the next handoff step clear
When work reaches a handoff stage, add a practical next step to the related Basecamp card.
Trigger
Task Moved to Section
Triggers when a task is moved to a section in a project.
Action
Create Step in Card
Tool to create a step within a card in a Basecamp card table. Use when you need to add a subtask or checklist item to an existing card with optional due date and assignees.
Why this helps
Work can stall when a section change does not clearly tell the next person what to do.
- Make a handoff actionable on the existing card.
- Reduce ambiguity about what should happen next.
- Keep next steps alongside the team's work-in-progress.
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.
- 3Describe the section handoff, how Notis should identify the related card, and the next step to add.
- 4Pick the Asana Task Moved to Section trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real handoff and confirm the intended card receives the step.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create a new card?
No. This action adds a step to an existing Basecamp card. The instruction needs to make clear how Notis can identify that card.
Can the step include a due date or assignee?
The action supports optional due dates and assignees. Ask Notis to use them only when the needed information is available.
