Send launch announcements from Basecamp updates
Share a launch update by email using the details your team recorded in Basecamp.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Send Email
Sends an email via gmail api using the authenticated user's google profile display name, requiring `is html=true` if the body contains html and valid `s3key`, `mimetype`, `name` for any attachment.
Why this helps
Launch news can be delayed when someone has to gather facts and rewrite the announcement from project notes.
- Use Basecamp launch details as the source for the message.
- Reduce copy and paste across project updates and email.
- Send only to the recipients provided in the instruction or request.
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 send a Gmail launch announcement using only the launch details and recipients supplied in the Basecamp update or webhook request.
- 4Pick the notis_webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real launch update and verify its content and recipients.
Questions about this workflow
Does this send without creating a draft first?
Yes. This workflow uses Gmail's Send Email action. Include a review step in your process before starting the webhook if the message needs approval.
Where do recipients come from?
Provide them in the instruction or webhook request. The workflow should not guess addresses.
