1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To start integrating Jotform and Basecamp, you need to access Pabbly Connect. Simply open your web browser and navigate to the Pabbly Connect website. Here, you can either sign in or create a new account, which is free and offers 100 free tasks monthly.

After signing in, you will be redirected to the Pabbly Connect dashboard. From here, you can create a new workflow to connect Jotform and Basecamp seamlessly. This integration will automate project creation based on form submissions.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

Once logged into Pabbly Connect, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. Name your workflow something descriptive, like ‘Jotform to Basecamp Integration’. This helps identify the workflow later.

In the workflow setup, you will see two sections: Trigger and Action. The Trigger section is where the event starts, while the Action section is where the event ends. For this integration, select Jotform as the Trigger app and choose ‘New Response’ as the trigger event.

• Select ‘New Response’ as the trigger event.
• Copy the Webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect.
• Integrate this URL into your Jotform settings.

After completing these steps, you’ll be ready to receive data from Jotform submissions into Pabbly Connect.

3. Integrating Jotform with Pabbly Connect

Now, navigate to your Jotform account and create a new form. Add fields like Name, Email, Phone Number, and Project Description. Once your form is ready, go to the Settings tab and select Integrations.

In the Integrations section, search for Webhooks and paste the Webhook URL you copied from Pabbly Connect. This step is crucial as it connects your Jotform to the Pabbly Connect workflow, enabling data transfer upon form submission.

• Select Webhooks from the list of integrations.
• Paste the copied Webhook URL into the provided field.
• Save the integration settings and publish your form.

After saving, your Jotform is now connected to Pabbly Connect, and you can start submitting responses.

4. Creating a Basecamp Project from Jotform Submission

With the Jotform successfully integrated into Pabbly Connect, it’s time to set up the action in Basecamp. After receiving a new response in Jotform, you will want to create a new project in Basecamp.

In the Action section of your Pabbly Connect workflow, select Basecamp as the action app. Choose the action event as ‘Create Project’. You will need to connect your Basecamp account to Pabbly Connect by authenticating it with your Basecamp credentials.

Select Basecamp as the action app. Choose ‘Create Project’ as the action event. Authenticate your Basecamp account within Pabbly Connect.

Once connected, map the fields from your Jotform submission to the corresponding fields in Basecamp, such as the Project Name and Description. This ensures that all relevant information is transferred accurately.

5. Testing and Using the Integration

After mapping the fields, it’s time to test the integration. Submit a response through your Jotform and check if a new project is created in Basecamp. This step is crucial to ensure that the workflow is functioning as intended.

Upon successful submission, you should see a new project appear in your Basecamp account based on the details provided in the form. This confirms that Pabbly Connect is effectively linking Jotform and Basecamp to automate your project management tasks.

By following these steps, you can streamline your client project management process, ensuring that every form submission automatically generates a corresponding project in Basecamp. This integration not only saves time but also enhances productivity.
