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.
- When Basecamp sends “To-do completed”, update the matching task status in your project tracker.
- Create a to-do in a client project when a new request comes in through your help desk.
- When Basecamp sends “Message created”, share the update with the account team in your team chat.
- Create a project for each new client as soon as the deal closes in your CRM.
