The Basecamp 5 Project Sync integration lets you sync your Basecamp projects and tasks into TrackingTime, so your project structure stays aligned across both tools and your team can track time and report on it in TrackingTime.
How it works
Basecamp projects are synced into TrackingTime as projects.
Task sync is optional. When you turn on the Include tasks in the sync toggle, Basecamp to-dos, lists and list groups are also synced.
Sync is one-way, from Basecamp to TrackingTime: Projects created in TrackingTime are not synced to Basecamp.

How to enable Project Sync with Basecamp 5:
|
Once installed:
Your Basecamp projects will be synced to TrackingTime.
You can view and manage them like any other TrackingTime project.
The integration is enabled for the entire TrackingTime workspace, so individual users don't need to install it.
Sync your Basecamp 5 to-dos and lists
Roles: Administrators | Pro and Business Feature
Unlike projects, Basecamp to-dos and lists are not synced automatically. To include them in the synchronization, you'll need to enable the Include tasks in the sync option.
How to sync Basecamp to-dos and lists with TrackingTime:
|
Once enabled:
Basecamp to-dos, to-do lists, and list groups will be synced to TrackingTime.
You can track time on your synced tasks directly from TrackingTime.
New items created in Basecamp will also be included in the synchronization.
Archived and completed items
The integration also reflects changes to the status of your Basecamp items:
Archived or trashed items: When a synced item is archived or moved to the trash in Basecamp, it is archived in TrackingTime.
Completed to-dos: When a to-do is marked as completed in Basecamp, its corresponding task is archived in TrackingTime.
Good to know
One-way synchronization: Changes made in TrackingTime are not reflected in Basecamp.
Archived projects: Projects archived in TrackingTime are not automatically reactivated by the synchronization.
Deleting synced projects: Projects imported from Basecamp can only be deleted from TrackingTime while the integration is disabled. While the integration is active, synced projects cannot be deleted.
Workspace-wide integration: Only administrators can install and configure the integration, but synced projects and tasks are available to workspace members according to their permissions.
