# Basecamp

> Basecamp helps teams manage projects, tasks, messages, chats, and files via your connected account.

Use Basecamp when your workflow needs project, task, message, file, or chat actions. Pick the action that matches the record you want to read or change.

## Configuration

| Option | Required | Description |
| - | - | - |
| Name | No | Label for the step in the workflow canvas. |
| Authentication | Yes | The connected Basecamp account to use for this step. |
| Action | Yes | The Basecamp action to perform (for example List Projects, Get Project, Create Project, Update Project). |
| Arguments | Yes | Per-action form fields generated from the action's schema. Each text field has an **Insert Variable** button for injecting `{{placeholder}}` values. A **Raw JSON** tab is available for advanced usage. |
| When the step fails | No | Controls whether the workflow should **Terminate Workflow** or **Continue** if this step fails. |

Before you configure this step, connect Basecamp in **Integrations** for your workspace using the sign-in flow. If no active connection is available, the step shows a warning with a link to **Integrations** instead of the account selector.

## Arguments form

When you select an action, the **Arguments** section renders a form driven by the action's input schema. Fields that refer to existing records include dropdown pickers.

Switch to the **Raw JSON** tab when you prefer to write the full arguments object by hand. Changes in either tab stay in sync.

## Common actions

| Action | Description |
| - | - |
| **List Projects** | Get the projects visible to the current user. |
| **Get Project** | Retrieve a project by ID with full details. |
| **Create Project** | Create a new project with a name. |
| **Update Project** | Update a project's name or settings. |
| **List To-Dos** | Get the to-dos in a specific to-do list. |
| **Create To-Do** | Create a new to-do in a to-do list. |
| **Update To-Do** | Update a to-do's content, assignees, or due date. |
| **Complete To-Do** | Mark a to-do as completed. |
| **Uncomplete To-Do** | Mark a to-do as not completed. |
| **List Messages** | Get the messages on a project message board. |
| **Create Message** | Post a new message to a message board. |
| **Get Message** | Retrieve a message by ID. |
| **Update Message** | Update a message's subject, content, or category. |
| **Get Card Table** | Retrieve a card table for a project. |
| **List Cards** | Get the cards in a card table column. |
| **Comment on To-Do** | Add a comment to a to-do in a Basecamp project. |

Destructive actions, such as deleting records, are not available in the workflow action picker.

## Output

This step stores the Basecamp response as the step output. The shape of the response depends on the action.

Use the full output reference in later steps:

```text theme={null}
{{STEP_IDENTIFIER.output}}
```

## Example

1. Open **Integrations** and connect Basecamp if you have not already done that.
2. Add a **Basecamp** step to your workflow.
3. Select a connected account in **Authentication**.
4. Choose **List Projects** in **Action**.
5. Fill in the required fields. Use **Insert Variable** to reference an earlier step's output for any field value.
6. Click **Run** in the step header to test the action, then review the returned payload in **Output**.

## Use cases

### Create a task from intake

1. List Projects
2. List To-Dos
3. Create To-Do

### Post a project update

1. Get Project
2. Create Message
3. Update Message

### Move a card after review

1. Get Card Table
2. List Cards
3. Move Card

## Notes

* This step depends on a connected Basecamp integration in your workspace.
* The workflow action picker shows a curated set of actions. Agents with the Basecamp tool can use more of them.
* The sign-in screen may show third-party authorization branding.

## Using Basecamp as an Agent Tool

You can also add Basecamp as a tool in the **Agent Editor**. Open the agent, click **Add tool**, and select **Basecamp**. In the tool settings panel, choose the connected account the agent should use. The agent calls Basecamp actions when they are relevant to the conversation.
