Basecamp API Integrations
Build and run workflows using the Basecamp API. Use 1000s of source-available triggers and actions across 2,000+ apps. Or write custom code to integrate any app or API in seconds.
Overview#
The Basecamp API enables the automation of project management tasks, facilitating seamless interaction with Basecamp's project management tools. Through Pipedream, you can leverage the API to create custom workflows that trigger actions within Basecamp, sync data across various platforms, and enhance team collaboration with automated notifications and task management.
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
basecamp: {
type: "app",
app: "basecamp",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://launchpad.37signals.com/authorization.json`,
headers: {
Authorization: `Bearer ${this.basecamp.$auth.oauth_access_token}`,
},
})
},
})

Example Use Cases#
Automated Project Creation: Upon closing deals in a CRM like Salesforce, trigger a workflow to create a new project in Basecamp with predefined to-do lists and document templates, ensuring that project kickoff is standardized and immediate.
Task Tracking and Notifications: Connect the Basecamp API to a time tracking tool like Toggl. Whenever a task is marked as completed in Basecamp, log the time automatically in Toggl and send a Slack notification to the team, keeping everyone informed and aligned.
Daily Digest Email: Compile a daily digest of updates across all Basecamp projects, like new messages, to-dos, or documents added, and send this summary via email using a service like SendGrid. This keeps stakeholders informed without them needing to manually check Basecamp for progress.

Authentication#
Basecamp uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Basecamp account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Basecamp and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Basecamp API.
Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:
- authorization
