What can you do with Basecamp on Tray.ai?
Basecamp is a project management app from 37signals that keeps each project's to-dos, message boards, schedules, documents, and group chat in one place. Tray.ai connects to Basecamp through the HTTP Connector, so your workflows can call the Basecamp API alongside the rest of your stack.

Challenges Tray.ai solves
Common obstacles when integrating Basecamp — and how Tray.ai handles them.
Challenge
Keeping Basecamp credentials out of logs
A raw API call usually means pasting a key or token into the request, where it ends up in step inputs, logs, and screenshots.
How Tray.ai helps
Store Basecamp credentials once as a Tray.ai authentication and reference them from the HTTP Connector. Tray.ai masks authentication values in logs, so the secret never shows up in a step's input or output.
Challenge
Going from the Basecamp API docs to a working call
Translating an example request from API docs into a workflow step means copying the method, URL, headers, and body by hand.
How Tray.ai helps
Paste a cURL example from the Basecamp API docs into the HTTP Connector and Tray.ai fills in the method, URL, headers, and body for you.
Challenge
Handling files and non-JSON responses
Not every API answers in JSON. Some return XML, files, or binary data, or expect a multipart upload.
How Tray.ai helps
The HTTP Connector parses JSON and XML responses, returns files you can pass to the next step, and sends multipart form data for uploads.
How Tray.ai makes this work
Basecamp plugs into the whole Tray.ai platform

Does Tray.ai connect to Basecamp?
+
Yes. Tray.ai connects to Basecamp through the HTTP Connector, which calls the Basecamp API directly. Any call the Basecamp API documents can run as a step in a Tray.ai workflow.
How does Tray.ai authenticate with Basecamp?
+
The Basecamp API uses OAuth 2.0 and a bearer token. You save it once as a Tray.ai authentication, and the HTTP Connector adds it to every request.
Can I get a dedicated Basecamp connector?
+
Basecamp runs through the HTTP Connector rather than a dedicated connector. If your team wants one, the Tray.ai connector SDK can build a dedicated Basecamp connector from the Basecamp API.
