Turn Basecamp follow-ups into Asana subtasks
Make a small, concrete follow-up visible under the Asana task it supports.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create subtask
Creates a new asana subtask under an existing parent task (`task gid`); `due on` and `due at` are mutually exclusive and cannot be set simultaneously.
Why this helps
Small follow-ups buried in project updates are easy to miss or become disconnected from the main task.
- Keep discrete follow-ups attached to their parent task.
- Make small commitments visible without losing context.
- Reduce manual task breakdown.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Basecamp and Asana once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis from any channel.
- 3Ask Notis to create a subtask under the related Asana parent task for each discrete Basecamp follow-up.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real follow-up and verify the subtask is under the correct parent.
Questions about this workflow
Does this require an existing parent task?
Yes. The Asana subtask action creates a subtask under an existing parent task.
Can the subtask have a due date?
The action supports due on or due at, but not both at once. Include a deadline only when it is present in the source details or supplied by you.
