How to connect Basecamp and Motion

Create a New Scenario to Connect Basecamp and Motion

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 Motion will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Basecamp or Motion, 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.

  • 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, Motion, 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 Motion integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Basecamp and Motion (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 Motion

Basecamp + Motion + Slack: When a Basecamp to-do is overdue (approximated by a new event not completed), a task is created in Motion and a notification is sent to a Slack channel.

Motion + Basecamp + Google Calendar: When a Motion task is updated, related events are updated in Basecamp and Google Calendar to keep everyone informed.
