Familiarity with Atarim’s task creation and dashboard interface
Tools & resources needed
A Basecamp account with access to projects
An active Atarim account on a Pro, Business, or Enterprise plan
Admin-level permissions to manage integrations and workflows
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.
If you’re not logged into Basecamp, you’ll be prompted to sign in before the confirmation screen appears.
Basecamp is a plan feature
Where your plan does not include native integrations the option is locked and names the minimum plan required, and only the workspace owner can change the subscription. If Integrations is not in your sidebar at all, your role does not have access to it. Learn More About User Roles And Permissions
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:
Return to Settings → Connected Apps → Integrations in Atarim.
Under the Basecamp section, toggle Auto-Push Tasks to Basecamp ON.
Select the default Project and To-do List to receive new tasks.
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.

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:
Navigate to one of your websites or visual collaboration assets inside Atarim.
Create a new task using your usual process—clicking on an element, leaving a comment, or adding a general task from the sidebar.
Change your task details like title, status, or tags.
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.
FAQs
Can I choose which tasks get pushed to Basecamp?
Yes, use custom workflows to control exactly which tasks are synced based on triggers and filters
Does this integration sync tasks in both directions?
No, syncing is one-way from Atarim to Basecamp. You can import the tasks instead.
Can I push updated tasks to Basecamp automatically?
Yes, set your workflow trigger to “Task updated” to push changes when task status or details are edited.
Conclusion
By connecting Basecamp to Atarim and using automation features like auto-push and workflows, you eliminate the need for manual task entry, improve visibility across platforms, and keep your entire team moving in sync.
Tips & best practices
Auto-push for speed, workflows for control: Use auto-push for general tasks, and workflows to control what gets synced and when.
Keep your teams aligned by standardizing which types of tasks go to Basecamp—especially when collaborating with external teams.
Use internal tasks in Atarim when you don’t want certain tasks (like QA or design iterations) visible in Basecamp.
