Basecamp + Memtro

Your Basecamp projects, messages and to-dos, remembered.

Connect Basecamp 4 and Memtro can read projects, message board posts with their comments, to-do lists with assignees and due dates, and recent activity across every project. It also syncs new posts and completed to-dos into company memory each hour. Read-only.

What you can do with Basecamp in Memtro

Ask in plain English from chat, your editor, a scheduled job or your own agent. The model picks the right Basecamp tool, reads what it needs, and answers with the source cited.

01

Weekly catch-up

A founder asks what happened across projects this week. Memtro pulls the latest message board posts and completed to-dos from Basecamp, grouped by project, and summarises the threads with their comments.

02

Tracking a commitment

A client manager asks whether the design hand-off was finished. Memtro finds the to-do, shows who completed it and when, and quotes the comment that confirmed it.

  • List projects with purpose and which tools are switched on
  • Read message board posts in full with their comments
  • See to-do lists, open and completed to-dos, assignees and due dates
  • Search recent messages, to-dos, comments, documents and schedule entries across projects
  • Look up people, their titles, companies and roles
  • Hourly sync of new posts and completed to-dos into memory
When you ask it to

These tools change something in Basecamp. The model is told to use them only when you ask for exactly that, and an administrator grants each one by name to the teams that may use it; a personal connection acts only after its owner allows it.

  • Add a to-do to a to-do list, with assignees and dates
  • Comment on a message, to-do or document
  • Post a message on a project's message board
  • Tick a to-do off, or reopen it

Ask it like this

Questions people ask once Basecamp is connected. In agent mode each one also checks the other systems that know about the same people, companies or identifiers.

  • ›What was decided in the Website Relaunch message board this week?
  • ›Which to-dos are overdue in the Mobile App project?
  • ›Who is assigned to the launch checklist?
  • ›Find where we discussed the pricing change in Basecamp

Where it fits

Teams that get the most from Basecamp in Memtro, with the rest of their stack attached.

Better together

A record in Basecamp is rarely the whole story. Connect the systems that hold the rest and the agent cross-references them by default, then remembers what it learned so the next question starts further along.

Questions

Can Memtro change anything in Basecamp?
Only when you ask, and only what it has been granted: add a to-do to a to-do list, with assignees and dates; comment on a message, to-do or document; post a message on a project's message board; tick a to-do off, or reopen it. Every other tool reads, searches or lists. The Connections page labels the tools that act, an administrator grants each one by name to the teams that may use it, and a personal connection acts only after its owner allows it.
Who can use a Basecamp connection?
A personal connection serves only your own requests. A shared connection serves the organisation: everyone, or only the teams an admin chooses. Admins can always add shared connections; other members need the permission.
Does Memtro store my Basecamp data?
Credentials are encrypted at rest. Tool results are cached briefly so agent loops do not repeat identical calls, and the facts the model extracts are saved to your organisation's memory with provenance (system, record and link) so they can be checked and superseded. An hourly sync anchors recently changed Basecamp records into memory as entities.
How do I connect Basecamp?
OAuth. Register an application at launchpad.37signals.com/integrations with the Memtro redirect URI and tick Basecamp 4.
