Keep an existing project brief current with Basecamp updates
Refresh the working brief when meaningful project context changes, so people have one current summary to consult.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Edit File
Updates an existing google drive file by overwriting its entire content with new text (max 10mb).
Why this helps
A project brief loses value when it no longer reflects decisions and progress shared in Basecamp.
- Keep a working project summary current.
- Reduce the need to maintain duplicate notes by hand.
- Carry forward important project context in one document.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Basecamp and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation through Automations, then New Automation.
- 3Tell Notis to update the contents of the specified existing Drive brief using submitted Basecamp project updates while preserving relevant current context.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and set a run report destination.
- 5Test with one real update and review the resulting brief.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create a new brief each time?
No. It updates the content of an existing file. Provide the file identifier and the update information for each run.
Can the update remove details that are still useful?
Because the action overwrites the file content, instruct Notis clearly about what to preserve and review the result during your test.
