Make canceled events prompt a clear follow-up
Let Notis add a review step to the relevant Basecamp card when a calendar event is canceled, so connected plans get a second look.
Trigger
Event Canceled or Deleted
Triggers when a Google Calendar event is cancelled or deleted. Returns minimal data: event_id, summary (if available), and cancellation timestamp.
Action
Create Step in Card
Tool to create a step within a card in a Basecamp card table. Use when you need to add a subtask or checklist item to an existing card with optional due date and assignees.
Why this helps
When an event disappears from the calendar, related tasks and plans can remain in motion without anyone noticing.
- Prompt a review of connected work after a cancellation.
- Keep the follow-up near the existing project card.
- Reduce the chance that stale plans continue unnoticed.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Calendar and Basecamp once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis in plain language from any channel.
- 3Describe that a cancellation should add a review step to the related Basecamp card, and explain how Notis should identify that card.
- 4Pick the Google Calendar Event Canceled or Deleted trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real cancellation and verify the intended card receives the step.
Questions about this workflow
What does the cancellation trigger return?
It provides minimal data: event ID, summary if available, and cancellation timestamp. The related card must be identifiable from available context or an instruction you provide.
Can this workflow find the right card automatically?
The trigger does not return a Basecamp card identifier. Explain how to identify the related card using information available to Notis, or provide the missing association.
