FAQ
Questions about List Projects.
What does the List Projects action do in Basecamp?
Returns all active Basecamp projects the connected user is a member of. Useful for project-picker UIs in workflow setup or for cross-project reporting workflows that iterate over projects to gather metrics.
What inputs does List Projects require?
List Projects has no required inputs. Sensible defaults are applied if you leave fields blank.
Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?
Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.
What happens if Basecamp returns an error?
The workflow pauses on the failed node, the error message is captured in the run log, and you can retry the run with one click. Auto-retry policies are configurable per workflow with exponential backoff up to 5 attempts.
Does List Projects support batch operations?
Yes. Run List Projects inside a Loop node to process arrays. Tiny Command handles Basecamp's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.

Complete To-do
Transitions a to-do to the completed state. Assignees get the standard Basecamp completion notification. Useful for "external CI run finished green → mark the deployment to-do done" cascading workflows.

Posts a message to the project's message board — the place teams use for longer-form updates and discussion (vs the Campfire chat tool for ephemera). Useful for "weekly automated project digest → post to the project board" workflows.
