Bring important GitHub issue comments into Basecamp
Move the signal from a deep thread into the shared conversation when others need to act.
Trigger
New GitHub Issue Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specific GitHub issue. Only genuinely new comments are emitted; edits to existing comments do not produce duplicate events. The payload includes the comment ID, text body, author details, timestamps, and direct links to the comment on GitHub.
Action
Create Chatbot Line
Tool to post a message as a chatbot to a Basecamp Campfire. Use when you need to post messages via a chatbot integration without OAuth authentication.
Why this helps
Useful decisions and requests can remain invisible to collaborators who are not watching every issue.
- Surface relevant decisions where work is coordinated.
- Reduce repeated explanations.
- Keep cross-functional collaborators informed.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Basecamp to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in Automations -> New Automation or tell Notis the desired result.
- 3Use this instruction: When a new comment is added to the specified GitHub issue, post the comment, author, issue title, and link to Basecamp Campfire.
- 4Pick New GitHub Issue Comment as the trigger, choose a reporting channel, and test with one real comment.
Questions about this workflow
Can this watch one issue?
Yes. The trigger supports monitoring a specific GitHub issue.
Can I limit it to decision comments?
State the condition in the instruction so Notis can apply the intended judgment.
