How to connect Basecamp and Kintone
Create a New Scenario to Connect Basecamp and Kintone
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 Kintone will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Basecamp or Kintone, 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.

Basecamp
Configure the Basecamp
Click on the Basecamp node to configure it. You can modify the Basecamp URL and choose between DEV and PROD versions. You can also copy it for use in further automations.
Add the Kintone Node
Next, click the plus (+) icon on the Basecamp node, select Kintone from the list of available apps, and choose the action you need from the list of nodes within Kintone.

Authenticate Kintone
Now, click the Kintone node and select the connection option. This can be an OAuth2 connection or an API key, which you can obtain in your Kintone settings. Authentication allows you to use Kintone through Latenode.
Configure the Basecamp and Kintone 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 Kintone 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, Kintone, 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 Kintone integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Basecamp and Kintone (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 Kintone
Basecamp + Kintone + Slack: When a new project is created in Basecamp, a new record is created in Kintone with the project details, and a message is sent to a Slack channel notifying the team.
Kintone + Basecamp + Google Sheets: When a record's status is updated in Kintone, the corresponding task is updated in Basecamp, and the update is logged in a Google Sheet.
