Frequently Asked Questions about Basecamp 3 + Microsoft Teams 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 Microsoft Teams

Can I automatically post messages in Microsoft Teams when there's a new to-do in Basecamp 3?

Yes, you can set up an integration where a new to-do in Basecamp 3 triggers an automatic message post in a specified Microsoft Teams channel. You'll need to configure the trigger as 'New To-Do' from your Basecamp 3 account and the action as 'Send Channel Message' in Microsoft Teams.

Is it possible to get notifications in Teams for new Basecamp 3 files?

Absolutely, our integration allows you to receive notifications in Microsoft Teams whenever a new file is uploaded to your Basecamp 3 project. This uses the 'New File' trigger from Basecamp 3 and sends a corresponding notification message to your selected channel in Teams.

How can we update a task's status in Basecamp 3 through Microsoft Teams?

Currently, direct actions from Microsoft Teams back to Basecamp 3 (like updating task statuses) aren't supported through our integration. However, you can use other tools or manually update tasks within Basecamp.

What happens if I move or delete a project in Basecamp after setting up the integration with Teams?

If you move or delete a project in Basecamp that was connected with Teams, the integration will no longer function for that specific project. You'll need to reconfigure the settings if the project is moved or recreated.

Can I select which channels in Teams receive updates from specific projects in Basecamp 3?

Yes, during setup, you can specify which thread or channel within Microsoft Teams will receive updates for each individual project within Basecamp 3. This allows tailored notifications per project and keeps communication relevant.

Are there limitations on how many triggers/actions I can set between Basecamp and Microsoft Teams?

The number of triggers and actions you set up largely depends on your account plan's limits, but generally, you're free to create multiple workflows. Each setup will require configuration of each trigger-action pair individually between services.

Will changes made within Microsoft Teams reflect back into my project's timeline on Basecamp?

Unfortunately, tasks created or modified directly within Microsoft's ecosystem do not automatically reflect back into your project's timeline on Basecamp through our current integrations. Two-way sync is not supported at this time.
