Intro

Basecamp is a web-based project management tool. The Basecamp connector integrates Domo with Basecamp to extract data from the Basecamp API. Use this connector to retrieve data about documents, attachments, calendar events, projects, and people. Basecamp Version 3 is not supported in this connector.. You connect to your Basecamp account in the Data Center. This topic discusses the fields and menus that are specific to the Basecamp connector user interface. To add DataSets, set update schedules, and edit DataSet information, see Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.

​
Prerequisites

To connect to your Basecamp account and create a DataSet, you must have the following:
  • The Email address or Username associated with your Basecamp account.
  • The Password associated with your Basecamp account.

​
Connecting to Your Basecamp Account

This section enumerates the options in the Credentials and Details panes in the Basecamp Connector page. The components of the other panes in this page, Scheduling and Name & Describe Your DataSet, are universal across most connector types and are discussed in greater length in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.

​
Credentials Pane

Once you have entered valid Basecamp credentials and authorized Domo to connect to Basecamp, you can use the same account any time to create a new Basecamp DataSet. You can manage connector accounts in the Accounts tab in the Data Center. For more information about this tab, see Managing User Accounts for Connectors.
Note: If you are already logged into Basecamp when you connect in Domo, you are authenticated automatically when you click Add account. If you want to connect to an account that is different from the one you are logged into, you must first log out of Basecamp.

​
Details Pane

This pane contains a primary Reports menu, along with various other menus which may or may not appear depending on the report type you select.
