- Share new contact context with project collaborators.
- Reduce repeated lookups across apps.
- Create a written starting point for team coordination.

- 2Tell Notis to publish a Basecamp relationship note when Salesforce creates a contact, including the details your team needs.
- 3In Automations, New Automation, add a name and prompt if you are setting it up in the portal.
- 4Pick the New Contact Trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real new contact and confirm the note is appropriate.
Questions about this workflow
How is this different from a contact update workflow?
This uses event 16812, which fires when a new Salesforce Contact is created. Existing contact changes use a separate trigger.
Will it create a document with details not on the contact?
No. Notis can summarize returned details, while additional context must be included in your instruction or supplied elsewhere.
