Turn Support Tickets into Basecamp To-Dos

SupportBee's Basecamp integration connects your ticketing system with Basecamp projects. When a customer support ticket needs action from your product or engineering team, send it to Basecamp as a to-do or message — directly from SupportBee's shared inbox.

Why Teams Need a Ticketing System for Basecamp

Basecamp is built for project management — not customer support. It lacks ticket assignment, collision detection, SLA tracking, and a shared inbox for handling customer emails. Teams that try to manage support inside Basecamp end up with missed messages and duplicate replies.

A dedicated ticketing system like SupportBee handles the support workflow: converting emails into trackable tickets, assigning them to agents, and tracking resolution through the ticket management pipeline. The Basecamp integration bridges the two — support stays in SupportBee, project work stays in Basecamp, and information flows between them.

Common scenarios where this helps:

• A customer reports a bug that developers need to fix in Basecamp
• A feature request comes in that the product team tracks as a Basecamp to-do
• A billing question needs input from finance, who work in Basecamp
• A support agent needs to escalate an issue without switching tools

How the Basecamp Help Desk Integration Works

The integration adds a "Send to Basecamp" action inside every support ticket in SupportBee. Click it, and the ticket content — subject, body, customer details, and attachments — lands in your Basecamp project.

You choose the format:

• To-do list items — For actionable issues that need tracking. The ticket becomes a Basecamp to-do with full context, so your team can work on it without asking the support agent for details.
• Messages — For tickets that need discussion. The ticket appears as a Basecamp message thread where your project team can collaborate on a response.

This means your help desk and project management tool stay in sync. Support agents don't need Basecamp access. Developers don't need access to the ticketing system. Each team works in their own tool.

Setting Up the Basecamp Integration

Connecting SupportBee's ticketing system to Basecamp takes about two minutes:

1. Go to Admin → Integrations in SupportBee
2. Search for Basecamp and click Add to My SupportBee
3. Authorize SupportBee to access your Basecamp account
4. Enter your App ID — the number in your Basecamp URL (e.g., 9999999 from basecamp.com/9999999)
5. Enter your Project ID — the project number from the project URL

No API keys to generate, no webhooks to configure. Once connected, every agent on your team can send tickets to Basecamp.

Sending Support Tickets to Basecamp

1. Open a ticket in SupportBee's team inbox
2. Click Integrations → Send to Basecamp
3. Edit the title and description if needed
4. Choose to-do list or message
5. Select the target Basecamp project
6. Send

The ticket content appears in Basecamp immediately. Your project team sees the full customer context and can take action without needing access to your help desk.

Who Uses SupportBee with Basecamp

This integration works well for small teams where support agents and project managers need to stay aligned:

• Software teams that escalate bug reports from the help desk to developers in Basecamp
• Agencies that track client requests as Basecamp to-dos while managing support through a ticketing system
• Operations teams where customer feedback needs to flow into project planning
• Any team that uses Basecamp for internal work but needs a proper email ticketing system for customer-facing support

SupportBee starts at $17/user/month and includes the Basecamp integration on all plans.
