Assistant for Basecamp: Kanban, Custom Fields Autor: Asad Ur Rehman

Assistant for Basecamp adds a Kanban board over your real to-do lists and card tables, custom fields on every item, automations, and one-click AI-powered transcription for voice notes.

KEY FEATURES:

Kanban Board View
• Account-level, project-level, and tool-level Kanban boards. To-dos and Cards always get separate boards
• Pivot view: pick one field for the columns and another for the rows, for example Status across and To-do lists down
• Group by assignee, status, priority, tags, or any custom field, including multi-select fields. A to-do carrying three tags appears in all three columns
• Saved views: search projects and clients, scope the board to any set of them, and save the setup as a named view that follows you to any computer
• Shared WIP limits per column, set once and visible to the whole team
• Column colors come from Basecamp and write back to it, so a color you change on the board changes in Basecamp for everyone
• Filter, search, and sort across your board, with Overdue, Due today, and Due this week shortcuts
• Choose how many columns stay open; the rest collapse to slim strips

Voice Note Transcription
• One click turns any Basecamp voice note into text, yours or a teammate's, including notes recorded months ago
• The transcript is posted as a comment on the thread, so the whole team reads it with or without the extension, and Basecamp's own search can finally find what was said
• Works in any language, detected automatically, with nothing to configure
• A player built for catching up: waveform scrubbing, 1x/1.5x/2x speed that's remembered, resume from where you stopped, an unheard dot on notes you haven't finished, and auto-advance to the next note
• 6,000 transcription minutes included every month. Each note is transcribed once for the whole workspace, however many people view it

Custom Fields & Tags
• Add custom fields (tags, status, priority, and more) to your to-dos, cards, messages, and docs & files
• Single select, multi select, text, number, and date field types
• Color-coded labels for visual organization
• Choose which item types each field appears on (to-dos, cards, messages, documents)
• Per-project control: admins choose which fields each project uses, right from the project's settings page

Docs & Files Grid View
• Flip any Docs & Files page from list to grid: folder previews, image thumbnails, color-coded cards
• See and set Basecamp color labels right from the grid
• Drag and drop items into folders, out of folders, or reorder, with live hints showing what each drop will do
• Customize the grid: show or hide author names, dates, icons, and color labels; pick cards per row and folder rows shown
• Your List | Grid choice is remembered

Card Table Duplication
• Duplicate a whole card table in one click: columns, cards, comments, and attachments
• Move or copy columns across tables
• Live progress with pause and resume. Interrupted copies pick up where they left off

Automations
• Create rules that trigger on Basecamp events (todo created, completed, etc.)
• Auto-set fields, add tags, post comments, and more when conditions are met

Flags & Highlighting
• Unread notifications highlighted on both list view and Kanban cards
• Bubbled-up and bookmarked items carry a blue flag on lists, on item pages, and on board cards, so you can spot them without opening any menus
• Recurring to-dos show a repeat icon, due dates include the year when it is not the current year, and completed items never show as overdue

Quality of Life
• Multi-line subtasks display their line breaks, with links clickable
• Optionally open links that leave Basecamp in a new tab
• A project's external links become full dock cards you can position on the project home, with an option to hide the URL line

Integrations
• Enable webhooks per project for real-time event tracking and automations to work.
• Campfire notifications when tags or statuses change

Team Collaboration
• One admin connects and pays. Everyone in the Basecamp account gets access automatically
• No seat assignments or per-user setup. Admin controls for billing and account settings

Pricing
• Free 7 Day unlimited usage trial, no credit card needed.
• $29 / month or $290 / Year for unlimited users and unlimited usage.

HOW IT WORKS: Visit https://getassistant.io/help/getting-started/ for a detailed guide.
1. Install the extension and connect your Basecamp account
2. Custom fields and controls appear directly inside Basecamp, with no new tabs or apps to learn
3. Manage settings, billing, and automations at app.getassistant.io
4. Works inside Basecamp 5 at app.basecamp.com. Requires a Basecamp account.

Your Basecamp content stays between your browser and Basecamp's servers. Our API stores what Assistant adds: custom fields and their values, saved views, WIP limits, and automation rules. Voice notes are transcribed on our servers when you ask for it. The audio is read only for the seconds the transcription takes and is never stored; the transcript, summary, and action items are.
