Basecamp

Tracking too many projects across too many tabs is how deadlines get missed. Connect Basecamp to Klipfolio and pull your project data into a live dashboard that keeps your whole team aligned.

How to connect Basecamp to Klipfolio

Klipfolio supports both Basecamp 2 and Basecamp 3. The steps below cover the most common setup path using pre-built Klips from the Connector Gallery.

1. Open the Connector Gallery in your Klipfolio account.
2. Search for Basecamp and select a pre-built Klip.
3. Use the drop-down menu to Select a token or Create a new token.
4. If creating a new token, enter your Basecamp username and password, then click Sign In.
5. Click Yes, I'll allow access to authorize the connection.
6. Select your Basecamp Account ID and Project ID from the drop-down menus.
7. Click Add Klip to add the visualization to your dashboard.

Why use Klipfolio for Basecamp dashboards

Klipfolio goes beyond what Basecamp shows you by default. Here's what you gain:

• Real-time project visibility: See active projects, upcoming deadlines, and task status update automatically — no manual exports required.

• Cross-project reporting: Pull data from multiple Basecamp projects into a single dashboard so nothing falls through the cracks.

• Team alignment at a glance: Share dashboards via TV mode, public links, or scheduled email reports so every stakeholder sees the same picture.

• Custom metrics: Build your own data queries using the Connector Gallery to track the specific project signals that matter to your team.

• Flexible distribution: Control who sees what with granular roles and permissions, or embed dashboards directly into the tools your team already uses.
