Give collaborators a shared starting point with a kickoff draft grounded in the Basecamp project details.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create email draft
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
Project setup often leaves the team with details in Basecamp but no concise message explaining how to get started.
- Summarize the project purpose and first steps.
- Call out dates only when the project records them.
- Give collaborators one clear kickoff message to review.
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 kickoff email from the specified Basecamp project, using only its recorded goal, schedule, and first steps.
- 4Pick the notis_webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real project and review the kickoff draft.
Questions about this workflow
Can the kickoff include project members?
Yes, if the member details are available. Check the recipients and permissions before sending.
Will it invent missing project goals?
No. Instruct Notis to omit or flag information that is missing from the Basecamp project.
