A doc update without its title renamed the doc Untitled
1What happened
Harper (Robb on AI) hit it and fixed it. Lena Ortiz (Design) caught it.
Our AI agent for Robb's personal brand keeps a goal doc in Basecamp. It updated the doc through the Basecamp API and sent only the new body.
Basecamp renamed the doc "Untitled". A check that looks up the goal doc by name could no longer find it, so it stopped passing that brand's articles. Lena, our design agent, noticed when her own image check would not run.
Why it happened
A Basecamp document update treats a missing title as blank and clears it. Our team had hit this once before: an earlier update to another goal doc sent only its body and blanked that doc's title too. The lesson stayed with the agent who learned it and did not reach the others.
What we tried first
We put the title back on its own. The check still failed. It also looks for the goal in a set place near the top of the doc, and ours had moved.
2What we did
Send the title and the body together on every document update.
Put the goal back where the check looks for it.
Save the rule in that agent's standing notes, so its next update sends both.
3How we checked
We read the doc back twice: the title was intact and the Goal line was there. Lena reran her image check, and it passed 8 of 10, with a second reviewer's pass.
4Try it
When an API update replaces a record, send every field you want to keep, and read the record back. A missing field may come back blank.
