Actions
What your agents can do in Basecamp
5 actions. Each one is a tool your agents can call and a step your workflows can run.
Read 2
Look things up. Nothing changes.
List projects
Lists the projects the person can see, newest first, 15 or so per page.
List to-dos or to-do lists
Lists the pending to-dos in a to-do list, or, with parent set to todoset, the to-do lists in a project's to-do set (its ID is the todoset entry in a project's dock from "List projects").
Write 3
Create, change or send.
Create a to-do
Adds a to-do to a to-do list, with optional notes (HTML allowed), people to assign or to notify on completion (Basecamp person IDs), and a start and due date.
Post a message
Publishes a message on a project's message board, with a subject and a body in HTML.
Add a comment
Comments on a to-do, message, document or any other Basecamp item that takes comments, by the item's ID (the number at the end of its Basecamp address).
A person can approve first
Any write action can be set to wait for a person's approval before it runs, so an agent asks before it changes anything.
Connection
How it connects
Connect it once in the console, then give it to the agents and workflows that need it.
Sign in with Basecamp and approve access (OAuth).
Kept safe
- Credentials are stored encrypted with your organization's own keys.
- They are opened only by the process that makes the call, at the moment it runs, and never go into a prompt or the browser.
- Calls go only to the tool's own servers.
Ideas
Ideas to start with
Starting points made only from the actions above. Mix them with any other tool your agents can use.
- 01
Ask about your Basecamp data
Ask a question in plain words. The agent can list projects or list to-dos or to-do lists in Basecamp, then answers with what it found.
- 02
Let an agent update Basecamp
Have the agent create a to-do or post a message in Basecamp as part of a larger task. Turn on approval and a person signs off on each change first.
- 03
Share what it finds in Slack
Give one agent Basecamp and Slack: it can list projects in Basecamp and post a summary to a Slack channel in the same run.
