Connect Basecamp to D7 SMS in Make for instant alerts
Turn every Basecamp event into a real-time customer or team notification with D7 SMS, while keeping your team aligned in Slack and your records clean in Google Sheets. This automation removes manual follow-up, scales reliably with your projects, and gives you delivery and performance data you can act on.
Core Features
- Delivery reports: Track message status end-to-end with D7 delivery receipts, timestamps, and error codes for reliable monitoring and retries.
- Personalization: Merge Basecamp data (names, project titles, due dates) into SMS templates, support Unicode and regional formatting, and localize sender details where available.
- API flexibility: Use D7’s robust REST API with secure authentication, parameterized requests, webhooks for status updates, and options for sender ID, throttling, and failover strategies.
Automation Flow
1) Trigger: Basecamp – New Event Triggered
- Listens for new to-dos, comments, milestones, or project updates.
2) Branching/Filters (optional)
- Route only high-priority events (e.g., overdue tasks, specific projects, assigned tags).
3) Action: D7 SMS – Send automated SMS message
- Compose a template with variables from the Basecamp payload (assignee, task, due date, URL).
- Include a tracking reference for delivery reports.
4) Action: Slack – Notify team
- Post a structured summary (who, what, when, link to Basecamp) to a selected channel for immediate visibility.
5) Action: Google Sheets – Log entry
- Append a row with event type, recipient, SMS status, timestamp, and Basecamp link to build an auditable message ledger.
6) Observability (optional)
- Use Make’s error handlers to catch failed sends, trigger retries, or escalate in Slack.
Who It’s For
- Developers: Need a clean, testable SMS pipeline with webhooks, variables, rate controls, and delivery insights.
- Marketers: Want timely, personalized notifications tied to real customer or campaign milestones without engineering wait time.
- Operations teams: Require dependable alerts and a single source of truth in Sheets to monitor throughput, success rates, and SLAs.
