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

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Basecamp, Open Weather, 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 Open Weather integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Basecamp and Open Weather (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 Open Weather
Basecamp + Open Weather + Slack: This automation monitors new projects created in Basecamp. It then uses the project name to find location-based weather forecasts from Open Weather. Finally, it sends a daily weather forecast to a specified Slack channel.
Open Weather + Basecamp + Google Calendar: This automation retrieves the current weather forecast. If the forecast matches defined criteria (e.g., sunny weather), a new event is created in Google Calendar, and a corresponding task is added to Basecamp. This helps schedule outdoor tasks automatically.
