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

- 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 Harvest, 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 Harvest and Basecamp integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Harvest 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 Harvest and Basecamp
Harvest + Basecamp + Slack: When a Harvest project is created, a corresponding project is created in Basecamp. Then a Slack message is sent to a specified channel to notify the team about the new Basecamp project.
Basecamp + Harvest + Google Calendar: When a new message is added to Basecamp, a time entry is created in Harvest, and an event is scheduled in Google Calendar to remind the user to track time spent on the task.
