This template posts a Slack message when Basecamp 3 creates a to-do. Basecamp sends the event to a Latenode webhook.
JavaScript reads title, due date, and assignee. Slack posts that summary in the channel you choose. Connect Slack. If you poll Basecamp instead of a webhook, put the Basecamp access token in the JavaScript node.
Latenode bills workflow runtime in CPU seconds. The first 10,000 CPU seconds are free each month, then usage follows pay-as-you-go CPU-second pricing. Plug-and-Play (PnP) AI nodes are billed separately—each PnP token is $1 USD, charged pay-as-you-go at vendor cost plus a small processing fee, with no API keys required.

The scenario starts when Basecamp posts a new to-do to your webhook URL.
JavaScript pulls title, due date, assignee, and project from the payload.
Slack posts that summary in the channel you choose.
Add a webhook trigger and copy its URL. In Basecamp, send to-do created webhooks to that URL.
Add JavaScript to read title, due date, and assignee. If the webhook body is only an id, put your Basecamp access token in that JavaScript node and load the to-do there.
Add a Slack connection with permission to post in the channel. Map the JavaScript text. Create a test to-do in Basecamp and confirm the Slack message.

This template watches Slack for new files, downloads each file, and uploads a copy to a Google Drive folder. Use it as a backup so channel attachments are not only in Slack. Connect Slack and Google Drive, then pick the channel to watch and the Drive folder that should hold the copies.
This template starts when Slack sends a saved-item event to a Latenode webhook. JavaScript reads the message text with the Slack API. Put the Slack token in that JavaScript node. Google Tasks creates a task with that text as the title and the permalink in the notes. Connect Google Tasks and point Slack's saved-item events at the webhook URL.
This template receives Slack reaction events on a webhook, keeps the run when the emoji matches the one you chose, loads the original message from Slack, and creates a Linear issue with that text. Connect Slack and Linear. Paste the Latenode webhook URL into Slack Event Subscriptions for reaction events. Put the Slack bot token on the Slack connection and the Linear API key on the Linear connection.
