Ways Notis can move work from Google Docs to Basecamp
Publish new Google Docs briefs to a Basecamp vault
When a new Google Doc brief appears, publish a clean copy in the chosen Basecamp vault.
Turn a completed Google Docs template into a Basecamp card
When a configured placeholder disappears from a Google Doc, create a Basecamp card with the completed information.
Group matching Google Docs updates into a Basecamp to-do list
When documents matching your search query change, create a Basecamp to-do group that organizes the resulting work.
Add a Basecamp card step after a document structure change
When a monitored Google Doc gains or loses structural elements, add a follow-up step to an existing Basecamp card.
Complete a Basecamp to-do when its Google Doc is updated
When a monitored Google Doc receives the expected update, mark the related Basecamp to-do complete.
Create a Basecamp review group when a document reaches length
When a Google Doc crosses a word or character threshold, create a Basecamp to-do group for review and editing work.
Alert a Basecamp Campfire when a keyword appears in a document
When a monitored keyword first appears in a Google Doc, post a concise alert to a Basecamp Campfire through a chatbot.
Start a Basecamp project from a newly added Google Doc
When a new Google Doc is added, create a Basecamp project from an approved template and use the document as context.
Upload a new Google Docs export to a Basecamp vault
When a new Google Doc is created, create a corresponding upload entry in a Basecamp vault for the team archive.
Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Docs to Basecamp. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Google Docs triggers
Basecamp actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Complete To-Do
Tool to mark a to-do as completed in Basecamp. Use when you need to complete a to-do item.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
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.
New Document Created
Triggers when a new Google Doc is created. This trigger monitors Google Docs and fires when new documents are detected. Uses timestamp filtering to efficiently poll for new documents.
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.
Document Deleted
Triggers when an existing Google Doc is deleted (moved to trash). This trigger monitors Google Docs and fires when documents are trashed.
Create Chatbot
Tool to create a new chatbot in a Basecamp Campfire chat. Use when you need to add an automated bot to a chat room for posting messages and responding to commands.
Document Placeholder Filled
Triggers when a Google Doc's plain text changes such that a configured placeholder token/pattern is no longer present (i.e., the document has been filled in). This trigger monitors a specific Google Doc and fires when a placeholder pattern that was previously present is no longer found in the document's plain text.
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.
Document Search Update
Triggers when a Google Doc matching a user-defined search query is newly created or updated since the last poll. This trigger uses timestamp filtering to efficiently monitor documents.
Create Document in Vault
Tool to create a new document in a Basecamp vault. Use when you need to publish a document in a specific project vault with title, HTML content, and optional publication status.
Document Structure Changed
Triggers when a Google Doc's structure changes (headers/footers added/removed, tables/images count changes). This trigger monitors a specific document for structural changes like: - Headers added or removed - Footers added or removed - Tables added or removed - Images (inline objects) added or removed - Positioned objects added or removed - Footnotes added or removed
Create Project from Template
Tool to create a new project from a Basecamp template asynchronously. Use when you need to instantiate a project based on an existing template. Poll the returned URL to monitor construction progress until status becomes 'completed'.
Document Updated
Triggers when an existing Google Doc is updated or modified. This trigger monitors Google Docs and fires when documents are updated.
Create To-Do (Deprecated)
DEPRECATED: Use BASECAMP_POST_BUCKETS_TODOLISTS_TODOS instead. Tool to create a new to-do in a Basecamp to-do list. Use when you need to add a task with optional description, assignees, and due date.
Four ways to start an automation.
A trigger is the event that kicks a workflow off. Notis supports four kinds: an event in a connected app, an inbound webhook, a recurring schedule, and soon, your own database.
Integration triggers
Fire when something happens inside a connected app. New Notion page, Stripe charge, Linear issue: any of 1,000+ apps can start a workflow.
Webhook triggers
A unique URL per workflow. Anything that can send an HTTP POST can start an automation, including no-code tools that speak webhooks.
Recurring triggers
Cron-style schedules run a workflow on the clock. Daily standups, hourly syncs, business-hours-only digests: the workhorse of Notis.
Database triggers
Watch a row, query, or threshold in your own database and fire the moment the data changes. Row inserted, value crosses a limit, query starts matching.
Classic automation breaks. AI adapts.
Same triggers and actions, smarter middle. AI handles the fuzziness that breaks traditional Zapier-style workflows the moment a field gets renamed.
Describe it. Notis builds it.
Skip the visual builder. Tell Notis what you want, in plain English. It writes the workflow, you review and deploy.
You · in the Notis Builder
NEW“When a row gets added to the Q4 OKRs Notion database and the status is Blocked, send a Telegram message to the owner with a summary of what's blocking, and ping me if there's no reply within 24 hours.”
