Basecamp

Get a summary of what happened while you were away: announcements, new todos created and assigned to you, todos you completed, your overdue todos, and team activity counts by project.

get_catchup

Grant or revoke project access for specific people. Can also create new people and grant access.

update_project_access

Update which todolists are tracked or untracked on a hill chart. Provide tracked, untracked, or both. This moves no dots: to move a tracked todolist on the hill, post a progress update with create_hill_chart_version.

update_hill_chart_settings

Mark a card step as completed.

complete_card_step

Mark a todo as completed.

complete_todo

Copy a record, as Basecamp's Copy… does: into the container it is in by default, or into another, in this or another project. It copies the same records move_recording moves: a card or a column you added, a message, a document, file, cloud file, Google document or folder, a schedule entry, a check-in question, an email forward, a to-do list, a to-do or a to-do list group; a folder or list is copied with what is in it, and the original is unchanged. Pass project_id to use that project's one tool of the right kind (one to-do list, for a to-do or group), or container_id for a particular card table, message board, Docs & Files folder, schedule, Automatic Check-ins, Email Forwards, To-dos or to-do list. A copied card lands in Triage, or Done if the card is completed. Each call makes another copy, so if an answer says the copy may have started or is still running, check before calling again. A composite: the copy, a wait of up to 30 seconds for Basecamp to finish it, then a read of the copy, as its get tool returns it.

copy_recording

Create a new subfolder (vault) within a vault.

create_vault

Bookmark a recording for the current user. Idempotent: re-bookmarking returns the existing bookmark.

create_bookmark

Create a new card in a column.

create_card

Create a new step (checklist item) on a card.

create_card_step

Create a new automatic check-in question.

create_question

Create a new column in a card table.

create_card_column

Create a comment on a recording (to-do, message, document, and so on). To mention people, pass their IDs as mentions: Basecamp's mention markup carries a signed id only Basecamp issues, so the server composes it.

create_comment

Create a new document in a vault.

create_document

Create an event on a project's schedule (calendar).

create_schedule_entry

Create a home-screen folder for the current user, optionally filing projects into it. Filing a project moves it out of any folder it was in, and joins the user to an open project they were not on. If any project ID is archived, trashed, or an invitation-only project the user is not on, the whole request fails and nothing is created.

create_folder

Post a message (announcement or discussion) to a project's message board.

create_message

Create a new message type (category) for a project.

create_message_type

Start a Ping (a private chat) with people, by their person ids (list_pingable_people lists who can be pinged). The caller is in it too. When an active Ping already holds exactly these people, that Ping is returned instead, unless new_group is true (which applies only with two or more other people). Starting a Ping posts no line: post one with create_campfire_line and the answer's campfire_id.

create_ping

Create a new project in the current Basecamp account.

create_project

Create a new project from a template.

create_project_from_template

Create a new project template.

create_template

Create a new todo in a todolist. create_todoset_todo adds one to a project's to-dos outside any list.

create_todo

Create a new todolist in a todoset.

create_todolist

Create a new group (section) within a todolist.

create_todolist_group

Permanently delete a line (message) from a project's Chat (Campfire). It does not go to the trash and cannot be restored.

delete_campfire_line

Permanently delete a lineup marker. It does not go to the trash and cannot be restored.

delete_lineup_marker

Remove the current user's bookmark from a recording. Idempotent.

delete_bookmark

Permanently delete a boost. Basecamp removes it outright; it does not go to the trash and cannot be restored.

delete_boost

Permanently delete a card table's wormhole, the shortcut that sends cards to another card table. It does not go to the trash and cannot be restored.

delete_wormhole

Permanently destroy a gauge needle.

destroy_gauge_needle

Delete a home-screen folder. This UNPINS its projects from the person's home screen: the projects themselves are not deleted, but they are not moved back onto the home screen either — they stop appearing there until pinned again.

delete_folder

Permanently delete a message type from a project; messages that used it lose that type. It does not go to the trash and cannot be restored.

delete_message_type

Permanently delete a timesheet entry. Basecamp removes it outright; it does not go to the trash and cannot be restored.

destroy_timesheet_entry

Update a gauge needle's description.

update_gauge_needle

Find Basecamp projects, people, to-dos, cards, messages and documents whose name or text matches a typeahead query, as links to attach to a prompt. An empty query returns recently visited projects.

search_mentions

Get a project's Chat (Campfire), its group chat.

get_campfire

Get one line (message) from a project's Chat (Campfire).

get_campfire_line

Get a vault (folder) in Docs & Files, with counts of its documents, uploads, and subfolders. A project's top-level vault_id is the id of the vault item in its dock (get_project).

get_vault

Get the hill chart for a todoset, including tracked dots and their positions.

get_hill_chart
