Frequently Asked Questions about Basecamp 3 + Motion 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 Motion
What triggers are available when integrating Basecamp 3 with Motion?
When integrating Basecamp 3 with Motion, you can use triggers such as New Project, New Todo List, and New Message in Basecamp. These triggers will help automate the transfer of information from Basecamp to Motion, ensuring your project data is always synchronized without manual intervention.
Can I create tasks in Motion from Basecamp 3 To-dos automatically?
Yes, you can automate the creation of tasks within Motion directly from your Basecamp 3 To-dos. By setting up the right integration, each new to-do in Basecamp can trigger a corresponding task to be added in Motion, streamlining your workflow.
Is it possible to update Motion events when a Basecamp project changes?
Absolutely, you can set up actions that will modify existing events or create new ones in Motion whenever there are updates or changes to a project in Basecamp. This ensures that your scheduling and planning stay current with real-time project developments.
Can comments added in Basecamp 3 appear in Motion?
Yes, comments made on projects or tasks within Basecamp 3 can be automatically shared with related activities or tasks within Motion. This synchronization allows teams to keep communications within the context of their schedules and task lists.
How do we handle attachments from Basecamp when integrated with Motion?
Attachments from Basecamp may not directly appear or upload into Motion due to differing system capabilities. However, links or references to such attachments can be included within tasks or projects synced to ensure team members have needed resources available.
What happens if there is a deletion in one platform? How does it sync across both platforms?
Currently, deletions made in either platform may need manual adjustments as not all integrations support automatic sync for deletions due to data integrity concerns. We recommend checking both platforms after any significant deletion.
Are there any actions specific to calendar management when integrating these tools?
Yes, with calendar-related actions, you can schedule events in Motion automatically based on deadlines or milestones set within your Basecamp projects. This enables seamless time management directly tied through project timelines.
