See upcoming Basecamp deadlines in an email brief
Get a concise look-ahead draft that helps you spot the work and owners coming due.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
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
Important dates are harder to act on when upcoming work is buried across project to-dos and schedules.
- Bring upcoming work into a single reviewable brief.
- Highlight owners and dates that are actually recorded.
- Reduce repeated project-by-project checking.
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 summarize Basecamp work due in the chosen look-ahead period, including recorded owners and dates, in a Gmail draft.
- 4Pick the notis_cron trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real project deadline and review the draft for accuracy.
Questions about this workflow
What look-ahead period should I use?
State the period you want in the automation instruction, such as the next seven days.
Will the brief include unassigned tasks?
It can, and should mark them as unassigned if Basecamp provides no owner.
