Integrating Basecamp
Basecamp provides an RSS feed that can be imported into Flowdock.
("The New") Basecamp
NOTE: Basecamp's RSS feed URL includes a Basecamp username and password. Because the credentials are visible to all of a flow's users, it is a good idea to create a new Basecamp user solely for this purpose instead of using your own credentials.
- On a project page, find the RSS link in the bottom-right corner of the page. Right-click it and choose "Copy link address".
- Open your flow integration settings: From your flow, click the ellipsis icon next to your flow's name, and select Integrations.
- Click the plus icon next to the RSS feeds section to add a new feed.
- Add a Basecamp user's authentication credentials to the link:
https://ESCAPEDEMAIL:PASSWORD@basecamp.com/123456/projects/12345-your-project.atom
In other words, take the RSS feed URL that Basecamp offers and after thehttps://
part add- the email address of a Basecamp user with the '@' sign replaced with '%40'.
- ":" (a colon)
- password
- "@" (an at sign)
Basecamp Classic
- In a Basecamp project, go to Overview > Project RSS Feed to get the URL.
- Find your "Token for feed readers or the Basecamp API" in Basecamp via My Info > Authentication Tokens > Show Your Tokens.
- Open your flow integration settings: From your flow, click the ellipsis icon next to your flow's name, and select Integrations.
- Click the plus icon next to the RSS feeds section to add a new feed.
- Use the token as the username in the URL and construct it like this:
https://TOKEN@BASECAMP_SUBDOMAIN.basecamphq.com/projects/BASECAMP_PROJECT_ID/feed/recent_items_rss
In other words, take the RSS feed URL Basecamp offers and after thehttps://
part add- your token
- "@" (an at sign)
Basecamps's RSS feed messages will now be displayed in your team inbox.
