How to connect Google Drive and Basecamp
Create a New Scenario to Connect Google Drive and Basecamp
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 Google Drive, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Google Drive or Basecamp will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Google Drive or Basecamp, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Add the Google Drive Node
Select the Google Drive node from the app selection panel on the right.

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

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 Google Drive and Basecamp 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 Google Drive, Basecamp, 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 Google Drive and Basecamp integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Google Drive and Basecamp (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Google Drive and Basecamp
Google Drive + Basecamp + Slack: When a new file is added to Google Drive, the automation checks if the file is related to a specific Basecamp project by searching for the project name in the file name. If found, a Slack notification is sent to a designated channel, informing the team about the new file and its relation to the Basecamp project.
Zoom + Google Drive + Basecamp: When a Zoom meeting ends, trigger the automatic upload of the recording to a specified folder in Google Drive. Then, post a message in the relevant Basecamp project with a link to the recording in Google Drive for easy access and collaboration.
