Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Outlook and Basecamp once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create a new automation called calendar risk capture.
- 3Tell Notis to create a Basecamp card only when an event change affects a deadline, dependency, or external commitment, and include the recommended response.
- 4Pick Calendar Event Changes as the trigger and choose where reports go.
- 5Test with one meaningful reschedule and review the risk card.
Questions about this workflow
Will every minor edit create a risk card?
No. Ask Notis to ignore harmless title or location edits unless they affect delivery.
Can it mention impacted people?
Yes. It can include attendees and stakeholders present in the event details.
