How teams connect Basecamp and GitHub

Pick the setup closest to yours. Each one pairs Basecamp to-dos with issues in the GitHub repositories you connect.

  • To-dos
    Items sync both ways between Basecamp and GitHub
    Issues

    Send bugs from project teams to engineering

    When a to-do is found in Basecamp, create a matching issue in GitHub and keep them in sync.

    Status, comments and description sync both ways, so engineers get the full bug report in GitHub and the project team sees in Basecamp when the issue closes.

  • To-dos
    Items sync both ways between Basecamp and GitHub
    Issues

    Show dev progress to project managers

    When an issue is found in GitHub, create a matching to-do in Basecamp and keep them in sync.

    Status and assignee update in Basecamp as engineers pick up and close GitHub issues, so project managers see who owns each one from their to-do lists.

  • To-dos
    Items sync both ways between Basecamp and GitHub
    Issues

    Run shared work across both teams

    When a to-do is found in Basecamp or an issue in GitHub, create a matching one in the other tool and keep them in sync.

    Assignee and comments sync both ways, so whether work starts as a Basecamp to-do or a GitHub issue, both teams see who owns it and what has been said.

Everything Unito syncs between Basecamp and GitHub

Choose which tool creates new items and which way each field syncs, so Basecamp to-dos can create GitHub issues while status, comments and description update both ways. Set rules on field values to decide which to-dos and issues sync.

Real-time data sync with full control, no coding required

Custom sync rules

Use intuitive rules (conditions or filters) to determine exactly what data to sync, such as to-do status, assignee, labels, and more.

Deep field configurability

Configure your data flow field by field. Map any native or custom fields and define flow direction for each.

Full relationship support

Sync hierarchies and related items across tools, keeping linked objects, dependencies, and parent-child relationships fully intact.

Historical data sync

Your sync doesn't rely on live triggers. Unito rules apply to any item in Basecamp and GitHub and can also include historical data.

Comment & attachment support

Sync comments across tools with control over private and public visibility, and sync attachments for full visibility.

Live data transformation

Transform data in real time with transformers to combine fields, convert HTML to text, extract values, or apply custom string logic through JSON settings.

Enterprise-grade sync without the complexity

Cross-platform integration at scale usually takes weeks or months to deploy. Unito delivers reliable sync between Basecamp and GitHub with a self-serve setup and field-level configurability.

Abstracted complexity

Connect Basecamp and GitHub with an intuitive, out-of-the-box solution that allows for full configurability of your integration. Unito doesn't require custom logic, scripting, or dev-led setup.
Abstracted complexity

Lower total cost of ownership

Most iPaaS tools drive up cost with long rollouts and heavy upkeep. Unito lowers TCO with fast time to value, and no specialized headcount to maintain or scale integrations.
Lower total cost of ownership

Scalability and resilience

Maintain real-time data consistency across datasets of any size. Unito's auto-scaling, intelligent API throttling and automatic recovery ensure uptime even during peak loads and tool downtimes.

Frequently asked questions about Basecamp and GitHub

Can a new Basecamp to-do automatically create a GitHub issue?

Yes. Unito’s two-way sync can create a GitHub issue whenever a Basecamp to-do matches your rules. Updates then flow in both directions, so the to-do and issue stay aligned without manual copying.

Do comments and notes stay visible across Basecamp and GitHub?

Yes. Unito can sync comments between Basecamp and GitHub, and you control private versus public visibility so each team sees the right context without exposing internal notes.

Does Unito support custom fields and the GitHub API?

Yes. Unito maps native and custom fields between Basecamp and GitHub and connects through each tool’s API, so you can sync the specific fields your workflow depends on and set flow direction per field.

Who maintains the integration once it's live?

You do, with no code required. Unito is built so the team owning the workflow can set up, adjust, and maintain the Basecamp-GitHub sync through a visual interface, with no scripting or developer time needed.
