Basecamp 2 + Slack

Send new Slack channel messages with new Basecamp 2 todos

Not everyone will have time to check Basecamp today, but that won't hurt your productivity if you set up this Zap for automated alerts when new work pops up. It will trigger when a new todo is added to a list in a Basecamp 2 project, automatically posting a message to any Slack channel you want so everyone knows what needs to be done.
