Basecamp

Overview

The Gravity Forms Basecamp Add-On connects your WordPress forms to Basecamp, helping teams turn incoming submissions into organized, actionable work.

Create Basecamp to-dos, publish message board posts, or add card table cards whenever a Gravity Form is submitted. Map form fields to titles, descriptions, content, dates, and assignees using Gravity Forms merge tags, then use conditional logic to control exactly which submissions are sent.

With OAuth authentication, delayed payment processing, and optional Gravity Flow integration, the add-on fits Basecamp directly into your form-driven intake and workflow processes.

The result is a flexible connection between Gravity Forms and Basecamp that reduces manual data entry and helps teams respond to new requests more efficiently.

Key Benefits

• Create Basecamp to-dos from Gravity Forms submissions
• Publish submissions as Basecamp message board posts
• Add new cards to Basecamp card table columns
• Connect WordPress to Basecamp securely using OAuth 2.0
• Select the Basecamp account and project each feed should use
• Map form values with Gravity Forms merge tags
• Set to-do titles, descriptions, start dates, and due dates
• Assign Basecamp users to new to-dos and optionally notify them
• Set card titles, content, due dates, and assignees
• Publish message board posts with customized subjects and content
• Use conditional logic to process only qualifying submissions
• Delay Basecamp processing until payment has been received
• Create multiple feeds for different projects, actions, or conditions
• Process selected feeds at a specific Gravity Flow workflow step
• Automatically refresh expiring Basecamp access tokens
• Record the Basecamp item ID and link on the Gravity Forms entry
• Customize outgoing to-do, message, and card data with developer filters

How It Works

Register a Basecamp Launchpad integration, copy the redirect URI provided by the add-on, and connect your Basecamp account from Forms → Settings → Basecamp.

Next, open a Gravity Form and create a Basecamp feed. Choose whether the feed should create a to-do, message, or card, then select the destination project and configure the action-specific settings.

When a qualifying form entry is submitted, the add-on:

1. Checks the feed’s conditional logic and processing settings.
2. Refreshes the Basecamp OAuth access token when necessary.
3. Sends the mapped form data directly to the selected Basecamp project.
4. Creates a to-do, publishes a message board post, or adds a card table card.
5. Applies configured dates, descriptions, content, and assignees.
6. Saves the Basecamp recording ID and application link with the Gravity Forms entry.
7. Adds an entry note so administrators can confirm what was created.

For to-dos, choose a Basecamp to-do list and map the title, description, start date, due date, and assignees. You can also notify assigned users as soon as the to-do is created.

For messages, map a subject and message body using static text, submitted values, or other Gravity Forms merge tags. Messages are published to the selected project’s message board rather than saved as drafts.

For cards, choose a card table column and configure the title, content, due date, and assignees.

Conditional logic lets different submissions create different types of Basecamp work. Multiple feeds can route entries to separate projects or run only when specific form answers match your criteria.

If the form collects payments, delayed processing can wait until payment is completed before creating the Basecamp item. When Gravity Flow is installed, selected feeds can instead run when a workflow reaches a dedicated Basecamp step—giving teams greater control over when submitted information becomes actionable work.
