Turn Basecamp kickoff context into a Drive project brief
Put goals, milestones, owners, and open questions in one brief the team can revisit.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create a File from Text
Creates a new file in google drive from provided text content (up to 10mb), supporting various formats including automatic conversion to google workspace types.
Why this helps
Kickoff details are scattered across Basecamp posts, making it hard to onboard someone or restart work after a pause.
- Bring kickoff context into one reference document.
- Make project handoffs easier to understand.
- Keep unknowns visible instead of assuming answers.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Basecamp and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create a named automation in Automations, then New Automation.
- 3Tell Notis to make a Drive brief from submitted kickoff notes, covering goals, milestones, owners, and unanswered questions.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and a run report destination.
- 5Test with details from one real Basecamp kickoff.
Questions about this workflow
What should the webhook request include?
Include the kickoff notes or relevant Basecamp context, such as the project goal, milestones, owners, and open questions.
Will Notis fill in missing project details?
It can organize the information provided, but missing goals, dates, or owners should be identified as unknown rather than invented.
