Basecamp

Mid-call, someone asks whether a to-do was ever assigned, and the honest answer means opening Basecamp, finding the project, and scanning lists while everyone waits. Quin connects to Basecamp and creates, updates, and finds to-dos and projects straight from a conversation, so status questions get answered on the call instead of after it.

What you can do with Basecamp and Quin

• Ask about a to-do or project status without opening Basecamp.
  Quin finds it by name and answers directly, including who owns it and when it's due.
• Get a to-do marked complete the moment it's finished on a call.
  A status call that runs through open items updates Basecamp as soon as the call ends, instead of waiting on a spare fifteen minutes.
• Turn a commitment made on a call into a to-do with an owner and due date.
  "I'll get you numbers by Friday" becomes a to-do due that Friday, filed under the right project.
• Push a due date change straight into Basecamp.
  A deadline that moves during the conversation moves on the to-do too, not just in someone's notes.
• Search a workspace to confirm a to-do doesn't already exist.
  Quin checks before creating one, instead of adding a duplicate to an already busy list.
• Remove a to-do that's no longer relevant.
  A plain request is enough, without opening Basecamp to find and delete it.

Who this helps most

• Teams running recurring status calls off a shared Basecamp project, where the first ten minutes of every call goes to updates that then need to make it back into the tool.
• Agencies and vendors juggling several client workspaces at once, since a to-do's status is easy to lose track of across more than one project.
• Anyone fielding a status question mid-call, where a confident but outdated answer is worse than a short pause to check.

How this shows up day to day

• A client asks for a status update on three deliverables spread across two projects.
  Quin answers each by name on the call, instead of putting the client on hold to look them up.
• A biweekly project call runs through the current to-do list.
  Completed items get checked off and a moved deadline updates in Basecamp before the next call starts.
• A vendor call produces three separate commitments in twenty minutes.
  Each becomes its own to-do in the right project, with an assignee and due date attached.

Frequently asked questions

What happens when I connect Basecamp?
Quin can create, update, complete, and search projects, to-do lists, and to-dos in your Basecamp workspace based on your conversations.

Why isn't Quin creating tasks in Basecamp?
Confirm the integration shows as Active, and that your Basecamp account has permission to create to-dos in the relevant project.

Why did a to-do land in the wrong project?
Include the project name when asking Quin to create it. If two projects share a similar name, Quin asks you to confirm before creating anything.

Is my Basecamp data kept private and secure?
Yes. Quin is SOC 2 Type II certified and encrypts data in transit and at rest, the same standard applied across every integration, not just Basecamp.

Does Quin replace Basecamp?
No. Basecamp stays the system of record for your projects and to-dos. Quin keeps them current from your conversations, but Basecamp remains the source of truth.
