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