A disagreement with no numbers
Nobody could show on-time delivery.
BoldBellowsBasecamp to Google Sheets automation for on-time reporting
Basecamp to Google Sheets automation that keeps a ledger of completed to-dos with their due and done dates and one current row per to-do, so on-time delivery is a pivot and not a guess
Basecamp to Google Sheets automation answers whether a team delivers on time. Basecamp reports each completion as todo_completed, reopening as todo_uncompleted and a reassignment as its own event, and gives up on a delivery after ten attempts. BoldBellows holds the kind, the project and the recording as one identity, holds the change until the recording has stopped changing, then appends each completion to a ledger with its due date, done date and assignee, keeps one current row per to-do, protects the key column, and reads each project on a schedule to fill any gap.

01the feels-on-time problem
A team that feels on time and has no numbers to say so
Everyone believes the studio delivers on time, and a client disagrees. Basecamp shows what is open now, not what was due last month or how late it finished. Counting by hand means opening every project. A sheet that only appends records a reopened to-do as two completions, and when Basecamp gives up on a delivery after ten attempts the ledger quietly loses a row.
Reopened, counted twice
A to-do completed twice appeared twice.
A completion that never arrived
Basecamp gave up after ten attempts.
The same Basecamp work, in a sheet that proves delivery
Before: the copy drifts from Basecamp
- The same change can land more than once
- On-time delivery is a feeling
- A missed event is never found
After: a record you can trust
- What is already there is found by a current-state row keyed by Basecamp recording ID, with a completion ledger keyed by event ID
- Every completion is logged with due and done dates
- A scheduled read recovers anything dropped
02how it works
How a Basecamp completion becomes a ledger row and an updated to-do row
What reaches Google Sheets has passed a rule, a key check and a search.
- Open the event properly. Identifiers and time are recorded, the source state is read and the project event is assessed against the route brief.
- Check, fetch, append. After the secret in the address passes, the to-do is fetched for its due date and assignee, and its event ID is searched in the ledger before a row is appended.
- Update, reopen, reconcile. The current row changes only if the event is newer, a reopening is logged, and a scheduled read compares each project with the sheet.
What we know about Basecamp and Google Sheets
- Deliveries are not signed. Basecamp payloads carry no cryptographic signature, only a request ID and a Basecamp3 Webhook user agent, so the route puts a secret in the address and confirms the recording through the API.
- Appends find the table. The Sheets API append method writes below the last row of the logical table in the range it is given, which is why the ledger holds only completions.
- Safe to repeat. Repeating an event is harmless because Google Sheets is consulted through a current-state row keyed by Basecamp recording ID, with a completion ledger keyed by event ID before any change.

A manual weekly count, zap or a completion-ledger workbook: which carries Basecamp into Google Sheets?
Each can add a row. Only one keeps due dates, done dates and reopenings.

Late event, settled state
A notice that arrives after the record has moved on is logged and closed; the row in Google Sheets stays correct.
A to-do is deleted in Basecamp after its completion was already logged
The deletion is added to the ledger, the current row is marked as deleted, and the earlier completion stays in the history. The verdict comes from a current-state row keyed by Basecamp recording ID, with a completion ledger keyed by event ID: absent, matching, differing or ambiguous, all recorded. The result is recorded either way, so the decision can be audited.
A current-state row keyed by Basecamp recording ID, with a completion ledger keyed by event ID goes in first, then the mapping, then the branches.

11FAQ
Basecamp and Google Sheets: questions from delivery and account teams
The essentials in question-and-answer form, with room for your own in the quote request.
Should we just use a Basecamp to Google Sheets Zapier recipe?
A zap delivers a row appended on every event. It leaves you to keep a ledger of completions with due and done dates, one current row per to-do, and recover events Basecamp gave up on. It is that layer the packages price.
How do I measure on-time delivery from Basecamp?
Each completion is logged with its due date and done date, so a pivot shows how many to-dos finished on time by project, list or person.
What happens when a to-do is reopened?
The reopening is logged as its own row and the current row returns to open, so a double completion is never counted twice.
What if Basecamp gives up on a delivery?
Basecamp stops after ten attempts. A scheduled read of each project compares it with the sheet and adds anything that never arrived.
Does a repeated event add a row?
No. The event ID is searched in the ledger first, so a repeat is recognised and nothing is added.
Can history from before the sheet be loaded?
Yes. Completed to-dos are read in checkpointed pages and written with the same key as live events.
Can sheet edits change Basecamp?
No. The route only receives from Basecamp, so a stray edit cannot change a to-do.
What does the mapping document contain?
A signed-off Basecamp Google Sheets field mapping service output is required before we write to Google Sheets.
Can the route branch on region, value or stage in the Basecamp to Google Sheets route?
Yes. Your rules decide what moves, so the route becomes a custom Basecamp workflow for Google Sheets. A Basecamp Google Sheets integration consultant's advice comes with it, from $415.
Will I be told if something stops working in the Basecamp to Google Sheets route?
Dependencies are listed at handover. A breaking change pauses just the part it touches and alerts your owner, and post-review fixes are quoted separately.
