Turn GitHub issues into Basecamp cards automatically
New issue, clear next step. Keep incoming work visible without copying details by hand.
Trigger
New Issue Created
Triggers when a new issue is created in a GitHub repository. Pull requests are automatically excluded -- only true issues produce events. Results can be filtered by labels, assignee, creator, and mentioned user. The payload includes the issue number, title, body, state, labels, assignees, comment count, creator details, timestamps, and direct links to the issue on GitHub.
Action
Create Card in Column
Tool to create a new card in a column of a Basecamp card table. Use when you need to add a card to a card table column with optional content and due date.
Why this helps
Important issues can sit unseen while you switch between code, customer work, and planning.
- Keep new requests visible in the planning space.
- Reduce manual copying between engineering and operations.
- Create a dependable intake habit for every issue.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Basecamp to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations -> New Automation, or ask Notis to create it conversationally.
- 3Use this instruction: When a new GitHub issue is created, create a matching card in the appropriate Basecamp card table with the issue context and link.
- 4Pick the GitHub New Issue Created trigger, choose a channel for run reports, and test it with one real issue.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis include the original issue link?
Yes. Tell Notis to include the GitHub issue URL and relevant context in the Basecamp card.
Do I need to map issue fields manually?
No. You describe the desired result in one plain-language instruction and Notis interprets it.
