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?

Are there limitations on the actions that can be performed in GitHub from Basecamp 3?

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.
