Action
Create Card in Column
Tool to create a new card in a column of a Basecamp card table. Use when you need to add a card to a card table column with optional content and due date.
Why this helps
Leads arrive in chat while you are busy, then disappear beneath newer messages before anyone follows up.
- Capture new inquiries in the team's Basecamp pipeline
- Keep the customer's original context close to the follow-up work
- Reduce the chance that a promising conversation gets missed
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect WhatsApp and Basecamp once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis: Create a Basecamp card for each new WhatsApp inquiry, summarize the request, and include the sender's contact details when available.
- 4Pick the WhatsApp New Message Received trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real inquiry and confirm the card is useful for follow-up.
Questions about this workflow
Does this trigger run when someone messages my WhatsApp Business number?
Yes. It uses the real-time New Message Received event for inbound messages, including text and supported media, location, or contact messages.
Can Notis assign the card to a specific person?
You can describe who should own follow-up in the instruction. The event details and your Basecamp access determine what can be included; provide any routing rules Notis cannot infer.

Message Status Updated
Triggers when a WhatsApp message status changes. IMPORTANT LIMITATION: WhatsApp Cloud API does not provide a native polling endpoint for message status. Status updates are ONLY delivered via webhooks in real-time. This trigger cannot directly poll the WhatsApp API for status updates. This trigger will return empty results as WhatsApp does not support this operation. To track message status updates, you must: 1. Set up a webhook endpoint to receive status notifications from WhatsApp 2. Store the webhook data in your own database 3. Use a different mechanism to query your stored webhook data For more information, see: - https://developers.facebook.com/docs/whatsapp/cloud-api/webhooks
