Intro
Basecamp V3 is a web-based project management tool. The Basecamp V3 connector integrates Domo with Basecamp V3 to extract data from the Basecamp V3 API. You can use this connector to retrieve data about documents, attachments, calendar events, projects, people, and the like. To learn more about the Basecamp V3 API, visit their Github page (https://github.com/Basecamp V3/bc3-api). The Basecamp V3 connector is a “Cloud App” connector, meaning it retrieves data stored in the cloud. In the Data Center, you can access the connector page for this and other Cloud App connectors by clicking Cloud App in the toolbar at the top of the window. You connect to your Basecamp V3 account in the Data Center. This topic discusses the fields and menus that are specific to the Basecamp V3 connector user interface. General information for adding DataSets, setting update schedules, and editing DataSet information is discussed in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.Primary Use Cases | This connector is appropriate for retrieving project status and task and project completion rates. |

Once you have entered valid Basecamp V3 credentials and authorized Domo to connect to Basecamp V3, you can use the same account any time you go to create a new Basecamp V3 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.Details Pane
