As an alternative, if they introduced dropdown groupings, each Basecamp project could be made into a dropdown menu, and each nested list into a list inside the dropdown.

That's assuming dropdowns worked for both smartlists and normal lists =)

awsamuel - I'm well up for contributing to the bounty as it would be a huge bonus to me...

Posted 4 years ago

This is a huge feature for me. Basecamp sucks on the iphone.

Posted 3 years ago

+1 as well. I need a way to sync my work todos (managed through a group basecamp system in our dept) and my personal rtm account.

Posted 3 years ago

+1 more. true, two-way sync is needed.

Posted 3 years ago

+1 here as well. This feature would allow us to use RTM companywide.

Posted 3 years ago

Would pay for that

+1 for integration with HighRise (also by 37 signals). I love how HighRise has contacts, but the tagging system and task management pales in comparison to RTM. If they could be linked together, that'd be awesome.

Posted 3 years ago

+1 for RTM integreation

Posted 3 years ago

BC + RTM integration would make RTM even better. Way better.

Posted 3 years ago

Very much would love to have this feature. Huge benefit. I'd even be willing to pay for a pro account to have it.

Posted 3 years ago

+1 for RTM Basecamp integration!

Posted 3 years ago

+1 this is a must have and will make or break continuing with RTM for me.

Posted 3 years ago

If this feature existed, my entire team (20 people) would be using RTM in a flash - and paying for it.

Posted 3 years ago

yesh please. me wanttee

Posted 3 years ago

+10 I manage several projects as one, and Basecamp's lack of Due Dates for tasks forces me to copy my to-dos into RTM

Posted 3 years ago

+1 - This would be enormous for me. I currently manage all my major projects in basecamp and use RTM for personal tasks. I then subscribe my RTM tasks and basecamp milestones to my google calendar (which is auto-synched to my outlook and therefore my iPhone). It's complicated, but so far works well, EXCEPT that I can't see my RTM tasks and basecamp to-do's on ToDo on my iPhone since I can't get my basecamp to-do's on RTM.

One thing I tried is to set my RTM dropbox email as my basecamp email and then mark my to-do's as milestones that get emailed. But then the email comes over as a generic inbox task without any info since I can't format the basecamp email into any RTM format.

Anyhow, this would be great and I would pay, I'm already a pro plan member.

Posted 3 years ago

bump, anyone have an update or suggestions?

Posted 3 years ago

+1 copying and pasting tasks cannot be the only solution...

Posted 3 years ago

Another bump - can someone from RTM team at least tell us if this is in the works?

Posted 3 years ago

+1 great feature

Posted 3 years ago

gmonty

+1 (Integration with the whole 37 signals suite would be nice)

Posted 3 years ago

+1 agree with gmonty

I'm definitely going to extend my subscription to RTM if Basecamp integration was added.

Posted 3 years ago

+1 yes please!

Posted 3 years ago

bump here too. Any chance somebody from corporate monitors this thread, and can let us know if this is happening?

+1 AGAIN - any word from RTM regarding this, is it on the development roadmap or is there an integration out there somewhere?

Posted 2 years ago

OK - I just wrote a quick Outlook macro that helps me out. I'll try to explain it here.

This macro runs in Outlook from a Rule. When I get an email from the notifications account of my basecamp account (which is the email notification of a ToDo item assigned to me), this script runs. It breaks apart the email and reconfigures it to a RTM email that then gets automatically sent to my RTM dropbox address.

Here is the example:
The email body I get from basecamp when I assign a ToDo item:

Company: Peak Process Solutions Group
Project: Our House Website

You have just been assigned the following to-do item by Mark Wiley :

Main List

* test this automatically

--
To view this to-do list, visit:
http://xxxxxxx.projectpath.com/L5269510

The script will reconfigure this email to this format:

Task: Our House Website - test this automatically
L:Project Work
Tags:Work

Basically - it takes my project name and adds the todo task text, assigns it to my Project Work list in RTM and adds the Work tag.

To create this, copy the following code and paste it into a Macro in Outlook:

Sub RunAScriptRuleRoutine(MyMail As MailItem)

txtBody = MyMail.Body
posStart = InStr(1, txtBody, "Project: ", vbTextCompare)
posEnd = InStr(1, txtBody, "You have just been ", vbTextCompare)

posStart = posStart + 9

txtProject = Mid(txtBody, posStart, posEnd - posStart)

posStart = InStr(1, txtBody, "* ", vbTextCompare)
posStart = posStart + 2
posEnd = InStr(1, txtBody, "--", vbTextCompare)
posEnd = posEnd - 1

txtToDo = Mid(txtBody, posStart, posEnd - posStart)

txtNewMessage = "Task: " & txtProject & " - " & txtToDo & "" & "L:Project Work" & "" & "Tags:Work"

Set MyItem = Application.CreateItem(0)
With MyItem
.To = "mark.wiley+dfc801@rmilk.com"
.Subject = "basecamp item"
.HTMLBody = txtNewMessage
End With

MyItem.Send

End Sub


Then go to Tools --> Rules in Outlook. Create a new rule that runs when you get an email from your notifications address from basecamp. Choose run a script as your action, and choose the macro you just created to run.

There are probably more elegant ways to do this, if so someone can run with it.

Hope it helps until the time comes for a proper integration.

Posted 2 years ago

One note - remember to add your RTM inbox address to the Outlook macro, don't use the one I stupidly listed! (which I've had changed now... duh).

Any possible timeline would be great!

I have not seen seen Krissy here since April, I think, so I am very curious if she replies, Ryan. I thought she'd moved on from RTM.

+1 please please

Posted 2 years ago

+1 yes please. I would love for this to happen

Posted 2 years ago

Just to let you know that we have tried to implement this as an application for all of you to use. Unfortunately Basecamp doesn't timestamp it's to-do's which means that we have no way to determine which application was the last to create, edit, or complete a task.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but until 37 Signals put a timestamp on their API stream, this is impossible.

I'll keep you posted if anything changes.

Any response from 37signals? As a heavy user of both basecamp & RTM I find myself yearning for this on almost a daily basis...

Posted 2 years ago

I wish I knew if it was in the roadmap or not. Then I could know if I should build a little webapp that does just this.

Posted 2 years ago

Maybe you should.

They've just addes due dates on todo's don't know about timestamps though. Anyone know?

Posted 1 year ago

How is this project going on? Just found out that there's a php library for RTM (http://code.google.com/p/rtmphp/). There's also one for basecamp... If right now no one is working an this project, I'll give it a try...

Maybe right now any suggestions what should be possible?

Yup, for now, having information in two places is painful. Switching over to BC until we can get some synch rollin' love this app but have no choice about using BC for my job.

Posted 9 months ago

1beb

One way synch would be nice (from BC to RTM). Their API isn't all that technical, and I'd be more than fine with BC todos living in the inbox as they are generally action items. The only problem I forsee is how/when to update and authenticate between the two. Getting a list of todo's in xml format is easy as pie:

https://YOURBC.basecamphq.com/todo_lists.xml (post auth)
