Why this helps
Recurring planning work can blend together when each cycle shares an unstructured to-do list.
- Separate recurring work by planning cycle
- Create a predictable structure in a to-do list
- Make the current cycle easier to scan
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notis and Basecamp once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and name it for your planning cycle.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to create a group in the Basecamp to-do list you specify, using the scheduled cycle name.
- 4Pick a Notis cron trigger, set the intended schedule, and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real cycle and confirm the group appears in the right list.

Does this create individual to-dos too?
