How We Help

Connecting Basecamp (project management) with Zoom (communication) is one of the most requested integrations among Australian Professional Services and Education businesses. This integration eliminates the manual transfer of projects and to-dos data, reducing errors and freeing up your team to focus on growth. On the technical side, Basecamp uses a REST API with OAuth authentication, which our team handles as part of the build.

Amplify Basecamp Strengths

Basecamp excels because flat pricing per organisation (not per user) makes Basecamp uniquely affordable for larger teams, with unlimited users on the Pro plan. Connecting it to Zoom ensures that advantage flows through your entire workflow rather than staying siloed in one tool.

Scalable Without Extra Headcount

As your data volume grows, the integration scales with you. No need to hire additional admin staff to keep Basecamp and Zoom in sync, even as your business doubles.

Unlock Zoom Value

Zoom stands out because video and audio quality is consistently reliable even on lower bandwidth connections, which has made it the default for remote meetings. Integrating it with Basecamp means your team gets this benefit with complete, accurate data flowing in automatically.
