Automate weekly to-do creation in Basecamp 3

This template runs on a weekly schedule and creates a Basecamp 3 to-do with the title, notes, and assignee you map.

Use a JavaScript node to call the Basecamp to-do API. Put the Basecamp access token, project id, and to-do list id in that JavaScript node. Pick the weekday and hour in your timezone.

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.
