How to connect LiveChat and Basecamp
Create a New Scenario to Connect LiveChat and Basecamp
In the workspace, click the βCreate New Scenarioβ button.

Add the First Step
Add the first node β a trigger that will initiate the scenario when it receives the required event. Triggers can be scheduled, called by a LiveChat, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, LiveChat or Basecamp will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find LiveChat or Basecamp, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

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

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring LiveChat, Basecamp, and any additional nodes, donβt 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 βRun onceβ and triggering an event to check if the LiveChat and Basecamp integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between LiveChat 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 LiveChat and Basecamp
LiveChat + Basecamp + Slack: When a chat is deactivated in LiveChat, the transcript is added as a new message to a specified Basecamp project. A notification is then sent to a Slack channel to inform key team members.
Basecamp + LiveChat + Google Sheets: When a new project is created in Basecamp, information about the project, along with associated LiveChat support data (e.g., total chats, average resolution time fetched with a separate flow), is logged in a Google Sheets spreadsheet.
