Basecamp

Managing work across multiple platforms can lead to missed tasks and duplicated efforts. With Atarim’s Basecamp integration, you can connect both tools to create a unified task management experience. Basecamp is a deep native integration, so if it is not included on your plan the toggle shows a lock naming the plan you would need.

In this guide, you'll learn how to:

• Connect your Basecamp account to Atarim
• Automatically sync tasks from Atarim to Basecamp
• Use Workflows to automate your task syncing
• Test your integration by creating a live task

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Connecting Your Basecamp Account

To start using the integration, you’ll first need to authorize your Basecamp account within Atarim.

Instructions:

1. Go to your Atarim Dashboard.
2. Go to Settings, and under Connected Apps select Integrations.
3. Find Basecamp and switch its toggle on.
4. Select Connect on the Basecamp card.
5. If already logged into Basecamp, a confirmation screen appears.
6. Click Yes, I’ll allow access to complete the connection.
7. Once connected, the button becomes Manage Connection, and the card tells you Basecamp is connected to Atarim.

2. Automatically Pushing All Tasks to Basecamp

Enable full automation to ensure all tasks created in Atarim sync directly into a Basecamp Project and Task List of your choice.

Instructions:

1. Return to Settings → Connected Apps → Integrations in Atarim.
2. Switch on Automatically push and sync tasks that are created on your Atarim Dashboard to Basecamp.
3. Select the default Project and Task List to receive new tasks.
4. Click Save.

3. Automating with Workflows

You can further customize and automate your sync process using Atarim’s Workflows feature.

Instructions:

1. Go to the Workflows section from the main navigation.
2. Select Create New — the button sits on both the Templates and Manage tabs. Opening a template and choosing Create a Blank Workflow gets you to the same empty canvas.
3. Set the trigger to Task added.
4. Add the action Add Task to Basecamp and choose where the task should go in Basecamp.
5. Save your workflow, then attach it to a project and activate it — saving alone does not start it.

4. Creating a Task (Let’s See It in Action)

Once everything is connected and automation or workflows are configured, it’s time to test it all by creating a task.

Instructions:

1. Navigate to one of your websites or visual collaboration assets inside Atarim.
2. Create a new task using your usual process—clicking on an element, leaving a comment, or adding a general task from the sidebar.
3. Change your task details like title, status, or tags.
4. Select Comment to create the task.

5. Pushing or importing tasks by hand

You can also push a single task to Basecamp yourself, or bring Basecamp work into Atarim.

• To push one task, open it in the Inbox and select the Integrations icon in the task toolbar. Choose Push to Basecamp, pick the project and task list, then select Create Task on Basecamp.
• To import, open the Inbox’s More Actions menu and select Import Tasks › Import from Basecamp. Choose the Basecamp project and list and the Atarim project the tasks should land in, then select Import Tasks. Tick Create all tasks as Internal Tasks (not visible to clients) to keep them from clients. For the other options in the import window, see Importing tasks.
