Action
Create Upload in Vault
Tool to create a new upload (file) in a Basecamp vault. Use when you need to create an upload entry for a previously uploaded attachment in a specific project vault.
Why this helps
Important files remain trapped in email threads or get separated from their project context.
- Connect incoming files with project storage
- Reduce attachment hunting in email
- Keep file context with the project

- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis to create one from any channel.
- 3Ask Notis in one instruction to create a Basecamp upload entry for relevant incoming email attachments when the file is already uploaded and available to Basecamp.
- 4Pick New Gmail Message Received as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real email and an available uploaded file.
