Rename a Basin project when its source Doc changes

A renamed initiative should stay recognizable wherever the work lives.

Trigger

Document Updated

Triggers when an existing Google Doc is updated or modified. This trigger monitors Google Docs and fires when documents are updated.

Action

Update Project

Tool to update details of an existing project. use when you need to change a project's name after confirming the project id. example: "update project 123 to 'rebrand launch'".

Why this helps

Project names drift from current language, making search and handoffs confusing.

  • Keep names consistent across tools
  • Improve search and handoffs
  • Reduce manual rename tasks

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Docs and Basin in Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation named Doc rebrand to project rename.
  • 3Tell Notis to identify an explicit initiative rename and update the matching Basin project name only when the project id is clear.
  • 4Pick Document Updated as the trigger.
  • 5Choose a report channel and test with one documented rename.

Questions about this workflow

Which action changes a project name?
