Basecamp 2
Add Basecamp 2 to your product for your customers, and give your AI agents governed access to it.
Embed a Basecamp 2 integration so your customers can work their projects, to-do lists, and discussions from inside your product, with governed agent access to the same records. fastn handles per-customer authentication and API upkeep, so each account's own project structure works without code from you.
In your product
Embedded for your customers. Per-tenant auth, no per-customer code, maintained by fastn.
Let customers read projects and to-do lists into your product.
Create or complete to-dos from an event in your product.
Read messages and comments so context stays where work happens.
Trigger your product when a to-do is completed or a message is posted.
For your AI agents
Governed, audited access for the agents you build, through the MCP server.
An agent reads open to-dos for a project before summarising status.
An agent creates a to-do within governed permissions.
An agent reacts to a completed to-do and advances the workflow.
Example prompt
List overdue to-dos across active projects and who each is assigned to.
Set up Basecamp 2 in 4 steps
- 01Open the Basecamp 2 connector from your fastn dashboard.
- 02Have each customer authenticate their Basecamp account.
- 03Map the projects and to-do lists your product uses, then enable actions and triggers.
- 04Call them from your product, or expose them to an agent through the MCP server.
Why teams use the Basecamp 2 integration
What you get by embedding it with fastn instead of building it yourself.
- Ship a Basecamp 2 integration without building it. Your customers connect their own Basecamp 2 account inside your product and work their work items, assignees and due dates there, with no per-customer code on your side.
- Handle the part that actually costs time: every team configures its own fields, statuses and workflow stages. fastn owns the auth, token refresh, rate limits, pagination and breaking-change fixes, so a Basecamp 2 update is not your on-call problem.
- One integration serves your product and your agents. The same governed Basecamp 2 connection powers in-product features and gives AI agents scoped, audited access, so you keep work items in step with what happens in your product without wiring it twice.

AWS Simple Storage ServiceBasecamp 2 integration FAQ
How do I add a Basecamp 2 integration to my product?
Enable the Basecamp 2 connector in your fastn dashboard, then let each customer authenticate their own Basecamp 2 account. fastn handles the OAuth flow, token storage and refresh per tenant, so there is no Basecamp 2 client code in your app and no per-customer branch in your codebase. Setup is 4 steps.
Do my customers each connect their own Basecamp 2 account?
Yes. Every connection is scoped to the individual customer, so each authorises their own Basecamp 2 account and only ever sees their own work items, assignees and due dates. That per-tenant isolation is the point of an embedded integration: you support the long tail of customer setups without maintaining an integration per customer.
Can AI agents use this Basecamp 2 integration?
Yes. The same connection is exposed to your agents through the fastn MCP gateway, with permissions scoped per tenant and every call audited. An agent reads open to-dos for a project before summarising status.
Who maintains the Basecamp 2 integration?
fastn does. When Basecamp 2 changes an endpoint, deprecates a field or alters its auth, the fix lands in the connector rather than in your backlog, and your customers' connections keep working.
Can my product create and update work in Basecamp 2 automatically?
Yes. Items can be created, updated, assigned and transitioned from your product, and changes made in Basecamp 2 can trigger your workflows in return.
Does it adapt to each team's own Basecamp 2 setup?
Yes. However a team has configured Basecamp 2, whether that is custom fields, statuses and workflow stages or its own calendars and working hours, those are mapped per customer, so an unusual setup works without custom code from you.
What can I build with the Basecamp 2 integration?
A common starting point: read projects and to-do lists into your product. Teams also use it for the other use cases listed above, and expose it to agents for governed reads and writes.
How much does the Basecamp 2 integration cost?
It is included. Pricing is based on connected accounts, not on how many connectors you enable, so adding Basecamp 2 does not change your per-connector cost. You can start free with 3 connected accounts.
