Create a Vault
Tool to create a new vault (folder) within an existing parent vault in a Basecamp project. Use when you need to organize documents and files hierarchically by creating nested vaults.
Why this helps
Files scatter across projects when new initiatives lack a consistent home.
- Create consistent file homes
- Reduce setup friction
- Improve project organization

- 3Tell Notis to create a Basecamp child vault only for cards that represent a distinct initiative or deliverable.
- 4Pick the Trello New Card trigger and choose where reports go.
- 5Test with one qualifying card.
