Import from Basecamp

Import from Basecamp

We’re happy to announce a super simple way for you to get your data into Zoho Projects from Basecamp. With a couple of clicks you can free your data from Basecamp.

We currently support migration from Basecamp 2 and Basecamp 3. This feature is not available for Zoho CRM Plus and Zoho One users.
Zoho Projects comes with a rich set of task management and collaboration features that let you do a lot more and allows you to efficiently import all your data from Basecamp. After the import is scheduled, you will receive an email notification about the import status.

How to get started with the Import process

You must login to https://projects.zoho.com/bump#form and authenticate Basecamp to schedule import. The data will be successfully imported into Zoho Projects. However, if the data is not fetched successfully, you must retry and import your data again.

Things to remember after the data is imported in Zoho

As with all migrations, certain data attributes are modified to adapt to migration. The following are the data modifications while importing data from Basecamp into Zoho Projects:

Project calendar events will be mapped with the respective projects.

General calendar events will be mapped under a separate project called "Calendar Events" in Zoho Projects.
