What gets imported?

Timestamp will import from your Basecamp account every 20 minutes to keep your Timestamp account up-to-date.

Projects

Pprojects we will import new, or match existing (based on their name), projects as they are created or updated

  • If a project is trashed or completed in Basecamp we will archive the project in Timestamp
  • If a project is trashed or completed when you connect we will not import that project
  • If a project has been imported or matched its name will be kept up to date in Timestamp
  • A project's colour from Basecamp will be imported

Todos

Todo items we will import new, or match exiting (based on their name), todos as they are created or updated

  • If a todo is trashed or completed in Basecamp we will archive the task in Timestamp
  • If a todo is trashed or completed when you connect we will import that task
  • If a todo has been imported or matched its name will be kept up to date in Timestamp
  • The task name in Timestamp will be presented as todo list name / todo description
  • We do not support task assignment so everyone on a project has access to all active todos

“It's a really useful product for us in the business to provide management data on the profitability of individual projects and provides insight on where we can improve processes as a result.”
Nick Peperell, The Like Minded
“Timestamp has really helped Green Element come from what I thought was a profitable, stable and successful business into one I know is actually profitable, stable and successful.”
William Richardson, Green Element
“Relish simply needed a time-keeping system that was straightforward for on-site, remote and temporary staff. Other products we trialled were fussy and over-involved, but after trying Timestamp, we found exactly what we were after.”
Marc Aird-Marsh, Relish Creative
“We adopted Timestamp to streamline our internal time tracking processes - our consultants can access it from wherever they are and the back office has fast and accurate management information capabilities.”
