1

2

Authenticate Basecamp

Click "Add Connection" and select Basecamp from the app directory. You'll be redirected to Basecamp's authorization page. Grant Arahi access to your workspaces, databases, pages, and tasks. You select which workspaces the integration can read and write to.

Same process for Datadog. Click "Add Connection," select Datadog, and authorize access. Grant Arahi access to your repositories, issues, and project data. You control which repos and projects the integration can access.

4

Choose your trigger

Select what event starts the workflow. For this integration, popular triggers include: new item created in basecamp or new commit pushed in datadog. The trigger fires automatically whenever that event happens — no manual intervention.

6

Test and activate

Run a test to confirm data flows correctly between Basecamp and Datadog. Check that the fields map as expected, then toggle the workflow on. It runs 24/7 from here — Arahi handles retries, error logging, and monitoring automatically.
