Move a deal milestone into a ready-to-start project
When an opportunity reaches the kickoff point you define, Notis can start a Basecamp project from a template so launch work has a home.
Trigger
New or Updated Opportunity
Triggers when a Salesforce Opportunity is created or updated.
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
Project kickoff can be delayed while someone notices a deal milestone, copies the details, and creates the project by hand.
- Start delivery coordination from a meaningful opportunity milestone.
- Use a Basecamp project template for a repeatable kickoff.
- Reduce the delay between a deal update and project setup.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Salesforce and Basecamp once in the Notis portal.
- 2Tell Notis the opportunity condition that should start a Basecamp project from your existing template.
- 3In Automations, New Automation, add a name and prompt if you are setting it up in the portal.
- 4Pick the New or Updated Opportunity trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real opportunity that meets the condition and monitor project creation.
