How to connect Basecamp to Stack
Set up your Basecamp and Stack integration in 3 simple steps [2] — no coding required. Up to 10 minutes setup.
STEP 2
Build a workflow
Paste selected Basecamp and Stack nodes onto the canvas [4], or describe what you want and WEXTL wires the flow together with AI Builder.
STEP 3
Map your data
Choose which fields need to sync between Basecamp and Stack. Use filters or leverage a JS custom code step in between — everything is on the canvas.
How does the integration between Basecamp and Stack work in WEXTL?
WEXTL exposes actions and triggers for Basecamp and Stack that help you connect apps and automate repetitive tasks [1]. A trigger is an event that happens, an action — a step that performs when the event has occurred.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about connecting Basecamp and Stack.
Connect your Basecamp and Stack accounts once, pick a trigger in one app and an action in the other, then map the fields so data flows automatically between them. [3]
Example: when Basecamp's "Watch New Projects" fires, WEXTL can "Add Library Takeoff Templates" in Stack. Basecamp has 3 triggers (including Watch New Projects, Watch Project Events, and Watch Recordings); Stack has 36 actions (including Add Library Takeoff Templates, Assign a Project to a User, and Create a Customer Contact). Add filters and transforms between steps when you need them. [1]
Yes — the integration works in both directions. Use each app's triggers to start a workflow and the other app's actions to update it. [2]
No. Basecamp-to-Stack automations are built visually on the canvas. You can optionally add custom JavaScript with Functions when you need advanced logic. [4]
Yes. Trigger-based automations start the moment Basecamp (or Stack) fires a new event — webhook-backed apps run within seconds, and polling-only apps re-check on a schedule you control. [7]
A first automation typically takes 5–10 minutes: connect each app's credential once, drop a trigger + action onto the canvas, map the fields, and turn the workflow on.
You can build your Basecamp + Stack automation on a 3-day trial with every feature unlocked. Cancel anytime. For your protection, a small deposit is charged to your card when your trial starts. It counts toward your first payment and is non-refundable. [8]
