Most powerful ways to connect Basecamp and Contacts+
Basecamp + Contacts+ + Google Sheets: When a new project milestone is added in Basecamp, the automation searches Contacts+ for relevant contact details associated with the project. These details, along with the milestone information, are then logged in a Google Sheets spreadsheet for reporting and tracking project progress.
Contacts+ + Basecamp + Slack: When a new contact is added to Contacts+ that is associated with a Basecamp project, the automation will send a notification to a designated Slack channel. The notification includes the new contact's information and details about the associated Basecamp project, ensuring the project team is informed about relevant contact updates.
