Move new spreadsheet requests into Basecamp cards
New requests can go straight from a Google Sheet to a Basecamp card, with the context your team needs to get started.
Trigger
New Rows in Google Sheet
Simple polling trigger that monitors Google Sheets for new rows. Detects when new rows are added and returns the complete row data. Perfect for triggering any workflow based on new sheet entries.
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
Requests added to a spreadsheet are easy to overlook when the team does its planning in Basecamp.
- Keep new requests visible in the team's Basecamp workflow.
- Carry the useful details from a row into a card.
- Reduce manual copying and missed follow-up.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Sheets and Basecamp once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal under Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis to create one from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, say how to turn each new request row into a Basecamp card and which project and card table to use.
- 4Pick the New Rows in Google Sheet trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real request row and confirm the resulting card has the right context.
Questions about this workflow
What starts this workflow?
It starts when the selected Google Sheet detects a new row.
Can the card include a due date?
Yes, ask Notis to include the row's due date when one is present. The card creation action supports an optional due date.
Does it update a card if the row changes later?
No. This workflow is triggered by new rows. Use a row-change trigger for changes to existing entries.
