# Daily Basecamp morning digest in Slack > Every weekday at 9am ET, get a single Slack message summarizing your overdue, due today, and due this week Basecamp to-dos so you can start without opening Basecamp. - Workflow type: agent - Services: Basecamp, Slack - Categories: Personal Productivity, Operations - Published: 2026-05-29 ## What it does - Pulls every Basecamp to-do assigned to you, grouped into overdue, due today, and due this week. - Posts one clean Slack message with sections per bucket, each item linking back to Basecamp. - Groups items by project and flags anything stuck overdue for more than three days so it does not slip again. - Stays silent on quiet days. If nothing is overdue or due, nothing gets posted. ## What you'll need - A Basecamp 3 account where to-dos are assigned to you. - A Slack workspace, and a channel or DM you want the digest posted in. - A weekday morning you would like the message to land at, in your timezone. ## Prompt Every weekday at 9am America/New_York, build a personal Basecamp digest and post it to my Slack. The trigger is a cron schedule: Monday through Friday at 09:00 ET. Pull my assignments from Basecamp using the Get Due Assignments operation. I need three buckets: overdue, due today, and due this week. Basecamp's Get Due Assignments natively scopes by due date, so call it for each scope rather than filtering client-side. Treat the assignments as 'mine' based on the authenticated Basecamp user. If all three buckets are empty, do nothing. Do not post a 'nothing to do' message. The whole point is to skip noisy days. Otherwise, format a single Slack message in Slack mrkdwn with this structure: a one-line opening summary like '3 overdue, 5 due today, 7 due this week across 4 projects', then a section per non-empty bucket in this order: Overdue, Today, This Week. Inside each section, group items by Basecamp project (project name as a subheader), and list each to-do as a bullet with the to-do title linked to its Basecamp URL using Slack's link syntax. Show the due date next to each item. Within the Overdue section, prefix any to-do that has been overdue for more than 3 calendar days with a 🔥 emoji and the number of days overdue, so stale items are easy to spot. Post the message to Slack using the Send a Message operation. The destination should be configurable: either my personal DM (conversation with myself) or a specific channel I choose at setup. Send it as a single top-level message, not a thread reply. Keep it as one message even if the lists are long; truncate gracefully only if Slack's message size limit would otherwise be exceeded. Use the Slack user OAuth integration (slug: slack), not slackbot. The message should be sent as me so it lands cleanly in my own DM. Use the Basecamp integration (slug: basecamp) for the to-do data. Configurable inputs I want exposed: schedule time and timezone (default 09:00 America/New_York, weekdays), Slack destination (channel ID or DM), and the 'stale overdue' threshold in days (default 3). ## How to customize - Move the schedule to a different time, switch to daily including weekends, or run it twice a day. - Send the digest to a private DM, a personal channel, or a shared team channel. - Change the overdue threshold from three days to whatever counts as stale on your team. ## FAQ ### Will it spam my channel on days I have nothing due? No. If your overdue, today, and this week buckets are all empty, the workflow skips posting entirely so quiet days stay quiet. ### Can I send the digest to a private channel or DM instead of a public channel? Yes. You can point it at any conversation you have access to in Slack, including your own DM with yourself, a private channel, or a shared team channel. ### Does this only show my to-dos, or everyone's? Only yours. The digest is built from your personal Basecamp assignments, so each teammate can run their own copy without seeing each other's lists. ### Can I change the 9am ET schedule? Yes. You can pick any time and timezone, and you can switch to every day instead of weekdays only. ### Do the items in the message link back to Basecamp? Yes. Every to-do in the digest is a clickable link straight to that item in Basecamp, so you can mark it done or open the discussion in one click.
