How to connect Basecamp and GoCanvas
Create a New Scenario to Connect Basecamp and GoCanvas
In the workspace, click the “Create New Scenario” button.
Add the First Step
Add the first node – a trigger that will initiate the scenario when it receives the required event. Triggers can be scheduled, called by a Basecamp, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Basecamp or GoCanvas will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Basecamp or GoCanvas, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.
Add the Basecamp Node
Select the Basecamp node from the app selection panel on the right.

Authenticate GoCanvas
Now, click the GoCanvas node and select the connection option. This can be an OAuth2 connection or an API key, which you can obtain in your GoCanvas settings. Authentication allows you to use GoCanvas through Latenode.
Configure the Basecamp and GoCanvas Nodes
Next, configure the nodes by filling in the required parameters according to your logic. Fields marked with a red asterisk (*) are mandatory.
Set Up the Basecamp and GoCanvas Integration
Use various Latenode nodes to transform data and enhance your integration:
- Branching: Create multiple branches within the scenario to handle complex logic.
- Merging: Combine different node branches into one, passing data through it.
- Plug n Play Nodes: Use nodes that don’t require account credentials.
- Ask AI: Use the GPT-powered option to add AI capabilities to any node.
- Wait: Set waiting times, either for intervals or until specific dates.
- Sub-scenarios (Nodules): Create sub-scenarios that are encapsulated in a single node.
- Iteration: Process arrays of data when needed.
- Code: Write custom code or ask our AI assistant to do it for you.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Basecamp, GoCanvas, 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 GoCanvas integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Basecamp and GoCanvas (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 GoCanvas
GoCanvas + Basecamp + Slack: When a new submission is received in GoCanvas, a summary is added as a new message to a Basecamp project. Then, a notification is sent to a specified Slack channel informing the team about the new Basecamp message.
GoCanvas + Basecamp + Google Sheets: Upon a new GoCanvas submission, the submission data and associated Basecamp project details (e.g., project name, description) are logged into a Google Sheet for reporting and analysis.
