Write client updates from Basecamp project progress
Give clients a useful progress summary without rebuilding it from scattered project notes.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action

Creates a gmail email draft, supporting to/cc/bcc, subject, plain/html body (ensure `is html=true` for html), attachments, and threading.
Why this helps
Client updates are easy to postpone when the latest progress is spread across Basecamp project activity.
- Summarize project progress in one reviewable draft.
- Include next steps only when they are recorded.
- Save time preparing recurring client communication.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Basecamp and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to draft a client update from the relevant Basecamp project progress, including completed work and recorded next steps only.
- 4Pick the notis_webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real project update and review the Gmail draft.
Questions about this workflow
Does Notis know which client email address to use?
Only if the recipient is supplied in your instruction or available in the connected app data. Verify recipients before sending.
Can it make up a project status when Basecamp is quiet?
Instruct Notis to say that no new progress was found or omit a status that is not supported by the returned data.
