Start templated Basecamp projects from Notion
Turn a clearly scoped new work area into a ready-to-organize project space.
Trigger
Page Added to Page
Fires when a new subpage (a `child_page` type block) is added under a specified parent Notion page.
Action
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'.
Why this helps
Recurring project setup often depends on remembering a series of manual kickoff steps.
- Give recurring work a consistent project starting point.
- Reduce forgotten kickoff setup.
- Keep the Notion page that initiated the work available as context.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Basecamp once in the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it in plain language.
- 3Describe when a new subpage should start a Basecamp project from the appropriate template.
- 4Choose Page Added to Page for the selected parent, pick a channel for run reports, and test with a real subpage.
Questions about this workflow
Does a subpage always need to create a project?
Use this trigger for a parent page whose new subpages represent work needing a project. Explain the intended cases in the instruction.
Can the project use a template?
Yes. The selected Basecamp action creates a project from a template.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Basecamp. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion 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.
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
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.
Comment Created
Triggers when a new comment is created in Notion. Optional `page_id` filter scopes to comments on a specific page. When omitted, fires for any new comment in the workspace the integration has access to. Requires the 'Read comments' capability on the Notion integration. If a connection was authorized before that capability was enabled, the user must re-authorize the connection for comment events to flow.
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.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
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.
Database Created
Triggers when a new Notion database (the container) is created. A database is the post-2025-09-03 container that holds one or more data sources. This trigger fires for the container's creation event (`database.created`), distinct from `NOTION_DATASOURCE_CREATED` which fires when a new data source is added to an existing database. Most customers calling Notion's `POST /v1/databases` (the legacy API) or creating a database via the Notion UI will see this event. Adding a new data source to an existing database fires `data_source.created` instead — use `NOTION_DATASOURCE_CREATED` for that. Notion's payload puts `entity.type: "block"` (the container is a `child_database` block in the content tree) and `entity.id` is the database id.
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.
Data Source Created
Triggers when a new Notion data source is created. Fires workspace-wide. The payload's `data.parent` carries the data source's tree parent (typically the teamspace) for downstream filtering. A single template-based database creation can fire multiple `data_source.created` events at once — one per data source the template instantiates.
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'.
Data Source Schema Updated
Triggers when a Notion data source's schema is updated. Fires on column add / remove / rename. Payload includes `data.updated_properties: [{id, name, action}]` so consumers can discriminate the kind of change downstream. Optional `data_source_id` filter scopes to schema changes on a single data source. When omitted, fires for any schema change in the workspace the integration has access to. Note: adding a column also fires `page.properties_updated` once per existing row in the data source. Customers wanting a single structural-change signal should use this trigger.
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.
