Launch Basecamp projects from Trello boards

Turn a new planning board into a ready-to-run project structure.

Trigger

New Board Trigger

Triggered when a board is created in the specified workspace

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 a board often requires repeating the same project setup elsewhere.

  • Standardize project starts
  • Reduce setup overhead
  • Begin execution faster

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Trello and Basecamp once in Notis.
  • 2Create an automation named New board to Basecamp project.
  • 3Tell Notis to create a Basecamp project from the specified template using the new board name and purpose.
  • 4Pick the Trello New Board trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real board.

Questions about this workflow

Which template will be used?

Name the Basecamp template in the automation instruction.

Is project creation immediate?

Basecamp creates the project asynchronously, and Notis can report the returned construction status.
