Start new client work without rebuilding the setup
Mark a client kickoff in Telegram and let Notis start the matching Basecamp project from your template.
Trigger
New Message Received
Triggered when your bot receives a new message in a private chat, group, or supergroup. To receive every message in a group, Privacy Mode must be disabled for the bot in BotFather.
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
Starting each client project from scratch makes setup easy to forget and adds avoidable admin.
- Reuse a consistent starting structure for client work.
- Turn a kickoff signal into a workspace with less manual setup.
- Leave more attention for the actual client conversation.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Basecamp to Notis once, and make sure the intended Basecamp project template is available.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to start a Basecamp project when a client kickoff is confirmed in Telegram.
- 3Describe the kickoff signal and project naming details in one plain-language instruction; choose Telegram New Message Received as the trigger.
- 4Select a run-report channel and test with a real kickoff message when ready.
