    You can now easily import your To-do Lists from Basecamp into monday.com with one click!

    Note: This import will only work with Basecamp Version 3 and not with previous versions. 

     

    Import your data

    Go to your profile picture at the bottom left corner of your screen and click on "Import data".

    You can then connect your Basecamp account to monday.com.  Be sure to allow access in order to import your projects.

    Alternatively, you can also begin this import by clicking on "Add" at the top of the left pane, then "Import data " and select Basecamp from the drop-down menu.

    You will then be prompted to log into Basecamp and click "Next". If you agree to grant monday.com access to your Basecamp account, click "yes, I'll allow access" in the following page.

    Once you authorize monday.com to transfer your Project from Basecamp, you can select the connected account that you wish to import from. Then the projects from which you would like to populate your board:

    Now, you can see all of your To-dos from Basecamp on your new monday.com board, including a Basecamp To-dos Column with a link directly to your Basecamp project!

    You will also notice an integration has been added. This will add an item to your board each time a To-do is added to your project so your board will stay up to date.

    Limitations

    • Basecamp Versions - This import will only work with Basecamp Version 3 and not with previous versions. 
    • List description - The list's description will not appear on your monday.com board.
    • Comments - While notes will import into the Updates Section, comments are not currently supported.
    • Groups - If you have a list with groups, the groups will not appear when you import your list to monday.com. All items in the To-Do list, however, will import under the list's title. For example, this is the list in Basecamp:

    And this is how it appears when imported into monday.com:
