Can Do Help Center

    How does Can Do work?

    Can Do connects to your Basecamp account through Basecamp's official API using secure authentication. There's nothing to install, no browser extension required, and no new interface to learn, everything happens right where your team already works in Basecamp. The one exception is Companion: if you want it on your desktop, that's a quick download, but everything else in Can Do runs without installing anything.


    CanDo works for you and your team as your right hand to publish, organize, and extend what already exists, making it faster and easier.


    Getting started takes less than a minute: sign up, authorize your Basecamp account, and you're ready to start using Can Do.



    What can you do with CanDo?


    Can Do works primarily for:


    • Blog: Your team writes product updates, announcements, and whatever you want to share on Basecamp's Message Board, and Can Do publishes it as a blog on your own domain.
    • Knowledge Base: Your documentation, frequently asked questions, and guides live in Basecamp's Documents and Files, just as always. Can Do publishes them as a website on your own domain, ready for your customers to search.
    • Tools: Batch archive, create tasks and cards at once, start a Zoom meeting directly from a chat—tools remove the repetitive parts of Basecamp.
    • Forms: Create a form in minutes, directly in Can Do, and every response goes straight to the Basecamp project you choose.
    • Companion: Companion sits right on your desktop, one click away from Basecamp, access your projects, manage your work, find what you need, and complete everyday tasks without interrupting your workflow.
