Basecamp + Pitchsite Integration

Launch Basecamp projects the moment a proposal is signed

Basecamp is a trusted project management and team communication tool for agencies that want simplicity over complexity. With Pitchsite connected, every signed proposal automatically creates a new Basecamp project — complete with the agreed deliverables, message boards pre-loaded, and team members assigned.

How to use Basecamp + Pitchsite

A step-by-step look at how Basecamp and Pitchsite work together.

1

Connect via Basecamp API

Authenticate Pitchsite with your Basecamp account. Choose the Basecamp account to use (if you manage multiple).

2

Create a Basecamp project template

Set up your standard new-client Basecamp project structure with message boards, to-do lists, and file folders. This becomes the template.

3

Auto-create projects on proposal acceptance

The moment a Pitchsite proposal is accepted, Basecamp creates a new project from your template, named after the client, with start and end dates from the proposal.

4

Post proposal summary to message board

A summary of the signed proposal — services, budget, timeline — is automatically posted to the project's message board so the team has full context.

5

Send client a Basecamp invite

Pitchsite can automatically trigger a Basecamp client invite email, giving your new client access to their project space from day one.

Use cases

Real ways agencies use Basecamp and Pitchsite together.

Instant client onboarding

Clients sign the proposal and receive a Basecamp invite within minutes. They log in to a fully set up project space — a first impression that wins loyalty.

Structured project kickoff

To-do lists from your template are pre-populated. The "Week 1" tasks are already in Basecamp before your delivery team's Monday morning standup.

Client collaboration from day one

Basecamp's client-mode gives new clients a clean view of their project. Linked to the signed Pitchsite proposal, they know exactly what's coming and when.

Consistent agency delivery process

Every project starts the same way — same structure, same initial comms, same welcome message. Consistency builds trust and reduces onboarding admin.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use different Basecamp templates for different types of proposals?

Yes. You can set up multiple Pitchsite proposal templates mapped to different Basecamp project templates — e.g., branding projects use one template, SEO retainers use another.

Does the integration support Basecamp's Hill Charts?

Hill Charts update as to-do items are completed in the normal Basecamp way. Pitchsite creates the to-do items; your team manages progress as usual.

Can the client sign the Pitchsite proposal and then get the Basecamp invite automatically?

Yes. Set up the integration to send the Basecamp client invite immediately on proposal signature — the whole sequence is automatic.

What Basecamp plan do I need?

The Pitchsite integration works with Basecamp Business. The Basecamp Personal plan has limited API access and may restrict some features.
