How teams connect Basecamp and GitLab

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

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

    Send bugs from project teams to engineering

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

    Status, comments and description sync both ways, so whoever logged the bug in Basecamp follows the fix from the to-do as engineers work it in GitLab.

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

    Show dev progress to project managers

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

    Status, assignee and due dates update in Basecamp as engineers work GitLab issues, so project managers spot slipping work in the to-do lists they plan in.

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

    Run shared work across both teams

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

    Due dates and comments sync both ways, so a date moved on a Basecamp to-do or a question asked on a GitLab issue reaches the other team without a meeting.

Frequently asked questions about Basecamp and GitLab

Can a new Basecamp to-do create a GitLab issue on its own?

Yes. Unito’s rules let you set criteria so that qualifying Basecamp to-dos automatically create matching GitLab issues, and updates then sync two-way between the linked items.

Do comments stay visible across Basecamp and GitLab?

Yes. Unito syncs comments between the two tools and gives you control over public and private visibility, so notes and discussion reach the right people on each side.

Can Unito handle custom fields between the two tools?

Yes. Unito maps native and custom fields and supports custom-field data exposed through each tool’s API, letting you define how every field flows and in which direction.

Do I need a developer to maintain the integration?

No. Unito is fully no-code. You build and adjust the sync with rules and field mappings yourself, so the workflow owner can maintain it without scripting or dev-led setup.
