Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Basecamp, Canva, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy." Activating the scenario ensures it will run automatically whenever the trigger node receives input or a condition is met. By default, all newly created scenarios are deactivated.
Test the Scenario
Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the Basecamp and Canva integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Basecamp and Canva (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Basecamp and Canva
Basecamp + Canva + Slack: When a new project is created in Basecamp, a new folder is created in Canva to store designs related to the project. A message is then sent to a Slack channel notifying the team about the new project and the Canva folder.
Canva + Google Drive + Basecamp: When a design is exported from Canva, it is uploaded to a specific folder in Google Drive. A message containing the link to the file in Google Drive is then added to the relevant project in Basecamp.
