Basecamp & Hub Planner integration FAQ’s

Below we have some popular questions and answers around Hub Planner and Basecamp integration that may be of some time saving assistance to you. If you still have any further questions, please do contact us at hello@hubplanner.com should you need some more help.

FAQ – The Basecamp pop up window is not appearing?

This probably means that your popups are blocked on your browser. To activate, you can simply click the upper right side of the browser for ‘blocked popup window’.  Select ‘allow popups on this site’. You will need to select ‘authorise’ once more and the window should open successfully.

FAQ – I cannot log into Basecamp?

Ensure that you are using your Basecamp credentials and not your Hub Planner login details. If you have any issues, you can reset your password at the bottom of the pop up window.

FAQ – What happens if some I’ve got resources or projects set up in both Hub Planner and Basecamp?

We thought you might ask that! Resources and Projects are matched by name. Once imported, the existing resources and projects in Basecamp will match up with their respective counterparts. Don’t worry, this integration will not overwrite any data from Hub Planner

FAQ – Will I be able to import projects and resources I have in Basecamp but not in Hub Planner.

Absolutely, any new data identified during the integration will appear in a table format ready for you to view. Here you can choose which fields you wish to import or ignore by choosing from the drop down menus.

Please log into your Basecamp directly and liaise with their support to rectify. However, you might want to check out the next question in case you wish to reactivate or sync with a different basecamp account?
