Frequently Asked Questions about Basecamp 3 + GitHub integrations
New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with Basecamp 3 and GitHub
How does the Basecamp 3 and GitHub integration work?
Our integration connects Basecamp 3 and GitHub by linking triggers and actions between the two platforms. When a specific event occurs in GitHub, such as a new issue being created, it can trigger an action in Basecamp 3, like sending a message to a project or creating a to-do list.
What triggers are supported for Basecamp 3 in this integration?
As part of the integration, we support multiple triggers for Basecamp 3 including new message creation, new comment on a message, and changes to a project schedule. These triggers can initiate actions in GitHub or vice versa.
Can I create a new issue in GitHub when a to-do is completed in Basecamp 3?
Yes, you can set up an integration where completing a to-do in Basecamp 3 triggers the creation of a new issue in GitHub. This helps streamline workflow between project management and development tasks.
Are there limitations on the actions that can be performed in GitHub from Basecamp 3?
While our integration supports many actions, there are some limitations. For instance, while you can create issues or add comments through actions triggered from Basecamp 3 events, more complex actions like modifying existing code files directly would not be supported.
Is it possible to link a GitHub pull request with discussions in Basecamp 3?
Indeed, you can set up notifications about pull requests from GitHub to appear directly within your selected discussions in Basecamp 3. This ensures all team members stay informed about relevant code changes linked with ongoing projects.
How do we handle authentication between these two platforms?
We use OAuth2 for authenticating access between both platforms to ensure secure communication when setting up triggers and actions between your accounts on Basecamp 3 and GitHub.
What kind of action can be triggered from a new issue comment on GitHub?
When someone comments on an issue on GitHub, we can trigger several different actions such as notifying your team via messages within Basecamp 3 or even adding tasks to your project's schedule. This keeps everyone updated without needing manual follow-ups.
Supported triggers and actions
