How to integrate DeskTime with Basecamp?

The DeskTime integration with Basecamp brings all the necessary things under one roof. Integration with Basecamp will help your company organize projects, ease communication with clients and colleagues, and much more. 

How does it work?

Once DeskTime establishes a connection with Basecamp, tasks, and projects are delivered to DeskTime's project section.

Start tracking your project/task with the DeskTime project timer.

No tasks created in DeskTime will be synchronized back to Basecamp. The time user spent on certain tasks/projects will be sent back to Basecamp (including manually added time for projects/tasks).
