Pleexy enables you to manage your Basecamp to-dos from Google Tasks and keep them in sync so that the information is the same on both ends. With Pleexy you can:

  • Create Google Tasks based on to-dos from Basecamp

  • Update task details

  • Update task status

If you want to set this up just follow these steps:

  1. Go to your dashboard in Pleexy

  2. Select "Create a connection"

  3. Choose Basecamp connection card

Once you've created the connection you'll find a 5-step configuration process that will enable you to integrate Basecamp and Google Tasks in your preferred way.


1. Introduction

Connection's name and other options

Here you can customize the connection's name as well as general settings for your connection.


2. Source

This section is for you to configure how Pleexy syncs to-dos from Basecamp. The to-dos that meet the search criteria are the ones created in Google Tasks. You can search:

  • From Account

    • Choose the account(s) you want to sync your to-dos from

  • From Projects

    • Choose the project(s) you want to sync your to-dos from

  • From Lists

    • Choose the list(s) you want to sync your to-dos from

  • Assigned to

    • You can sync all tasks or just the ones assigned to you

You can also select how old a task can be for it to be synced (0 to 180 days).


3. Destination

You have two destination options:

  • Put all tasks in one Google Tasks list

    • Create all the tasks in the same Google Tasks list. Click the arrow-down icon to select the list to use.

    • Note: If you want Pleexy to create tasks in a new list, log in to your Google Tasks account and create the new list there. Back in your Pleexy settings, click Refresh to update the list.

  • Create tasks in multiple lists in Google Tasks

    • Create tasks from each Basecamp project in separate Google Tasks lists.

    • You can read this article for more details about how Pleexy creates multiple lists in the destination

Note: If a list with the same name already exists in the root list you select, Pleexy will use it instead of creating a new list. This way, Pleexy can combine tasks from different source services in the same list. For example, Pleexy will create tasks from a “Development” notebook in Evernote, a “Development” board in Trello, and a “Development” list in Basecamp in a single list in Google Tasks.


4. Settings

Here you can define how your tasks are going to look in Google Tasks:

  • Task Title

    • Sync your tasks with the title structure that works best for you. You can add fields like task, status, assignee or/and workspace

  • Synchronize due date

    • Select how should Pleexy sync due date on both ends

  • Add description

    • Sync the task's description from Basecamp to Google Tasks


5. Sync options

Pleexy lets you control what happens when you change, complete, or delete tasks in Basecamp or Google Tasks - both sides of the integration!

From Basecamp to Google Tasks

  • Complete task

    • Enable the option if you want Pleexy to complete the task in Google Tasks when it's completed in Basecamp.

  • Delete task

    • Enable the option if you want Pleexy to delete the task in Google Tasks if it's deleted in Basecamp.

Note: If you selected Do not track card completeness in your Source settings, you will not have this option.

From Google Tasks to Basecamp

  • Move to done

    • Enable the option if you want Pleexy to complete the task in ClickUp when it's completed in Google Tasks.


Those are your options for integrating Google Tasks with Basecamp! Don’t forget to click Save when you’re finished customizing.

If you don't have an account, we have a 14-day free trial for you to experience Pleexy.
