Basecamp

Managing work across multiple platforms can lead to missed tasks and duplicated efforts. With Atarim’s Basecamp integration (available on Pro, Business, and Enterprise plans), you can connect both tools to create a unified task management experience.

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. Navigate to Settings – Integrations.
3. Scroll to the Basecamp section and toggle the switch to Enable.
4. Click the Connect Basecamp Account button.
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 will update to say Reconnect.

Note: If you’re not logged into Basecamp, you’ll be prompted to sign in before the confirmation screen appears.

2. Automatically Pushing All Tasks to Basecamp

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

Instructions:

1. Return to Settings – Integrations in Atarim.
2. Under the Basecamp section, toggle Auto-Push Tasks to Basecamp ON.
3. Select the default Project and Task List to receive new tasks.
4. Click Save.

Tip: Use this for high-priority or client-visible items to ensure full traceability across teams.

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. Click Custom Workflow to create a new automation.
3. Set a Trigger such as:
   • “When a task is added”
4. Choose the Action:
   • “Push task to Basecamp”
5. Save your workflow.

Tip: Workflows let you control what gets pushed to Basecamp and when—great for multi-stage processes like design feedback or QA testing.

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. Click Send or Submit Task.

Tip: This is a great way to validate that your automation is working correctly. If it doesn’t show up in Basecamp, double-check your integration and workflow settings.
