Integrate Basecamp with Zendesk: Step-by-Step Guide

Learn how to integrate Basecamp with Zendesk to send ticket updates as messages, comments, to-do lists, or items.

How do I integrate Basecamp with Zendesk?

Integrating Basecamp with Zendesk involves creating a Basecamp target. This allows you to send notifications about new tickets and updates directly into your Basecamp project. You can choose to send these notifications as new messages, comments on existing messages, new to-do lists, or items in existing to-do lists. However, each target can only handle one type of notification, so you might need multiple targets for different types.

To set up a Basecamp target, go to Settings > Extensions in Zendesk, select the Targets tab, and add a new Basecamp target. You'll need to enter your Basecamp project URL, account credentials, API token, and project ID. Once set up, you can use this target in your automations and triggers to keep your team updated in Basecamp. For more details, check theoriginal documentation.
