- Search using the project context in the request.
- Review relevant Drive results before taking a next step.

- 2Create an automation via Automations, then New Automation.
- 3Tell Notis to search Google Drive for files relevant to each submitted Basecamp project question and summarize the matching results in the run report.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real project question and confirm the useful files appear.
Questions about this workflow
Will this automatically attach search results to Basecamp?
No. It searches Drive and returns results in the run report. The available action here does not post results back to Basecamp.
How should I describe what to search for?
