Sync Fizzy cards with Basecamp todos in real time

Description

Description

Automatically sync Fizzy cards to Basecamp todos in real-time. When cards are created, assigned, completed, or reopened in Fizzy, the changes sync instantly to your Basecamp project. Card tags determine which todolist items go to, and team members are matched by email.

What you'll need

n8n instance (self-hosted or cloud)
Basecamp account with project access
Fizzy account with board management permissions
Matching project/board names in both platforms

How it works

Receive webhook - Fizzy sends card events to n8n
Match projects - Finds corresponding Basecamp project by name
Sync todolists - Maps Fizzy tags to Basecamp todolists (auto-creates if needed)
Update todos - Creates, updates, or completes todos based on card actions
Sync assignees - Matches team members by email address

Setup steps

1. Install Basecamp community node
npm install n8n-nodes-basecamp
Or install via n8n Community Nodes: https://www.npmjs.com/package/n8n-nodes-basecamp

2. Configure Basecamp credentials
Create integration at: https://launchpad.37signals.com/integrations
Copy Client ID and Client Secret
Add credentials in n8n (Settings > Credentials > Basecamp OAuth2)

3. Set your account ID
Find your Basecamp Account ID in your Basecamp URL
Update the "Set Basecamp account ID" node in the workflow

4. Prepare your Basecamp project
Create a project (name must match your Fizzy board name exactly)
Enable the Todos tool in project settings
Optionally create todolists matching your Fizzy tag names

5. Configure Fizzy webhook
Open your Fizzy board
Click the globe icon for webhook settings
Paste the webhook URL from the "Receive Fizzy webhook" node
Enable all event types
Note: Each board requires its own webhook

Supported Fizzy events

card_published → Creates new todo
card_assigned / card_unassigned → Updates todo assignees

Tips

Use consistent naming between Fizzy boards and Basecamp projects
Ensure team members use the same email in both platforms
The first Fizzy tag determines the Basecamp todolist
The workflow preserves a Fizzy ID in todo descriptions for tracking
