Feedhammer — Basecamp Calendar Integration & Sync

· Feedhammer

5 min read Original article ↗

Basecamp knows the plan.

But your client's calendar doesn't.

Fix that.

Every Basecamp project has its own calendar feed. Feedhammer merges them — and lets you control what each audience sees. Your clients see only what you share. Your team sees only what they need.

Official Basecamp Integration

Your Basecamp Projects

Content sync

Web copy todo

Four projects. One client. Their Google Calendar shows nothing.

You configure once. Each audience gets exactly their slice.

Two feeds. Two audiences.

Compatibility and Syncing

Works with your calendar app

Feedhammer produces a standard iCal URL. Paste it into any calendar app once — it stays current automatically.

Google Calendar Outlook Apple Calendar Thunderbird Hey Calendar Any iCal app

Sync frequency

Your calendar app pulls the feed on its own schedule — no tool controls this.

Google Calendar: every 5–8 hours.
Outlook: roughly once a day.
Apple Calendar: as per your refresh settings.
Thunderbird: as per your refresh settings.

Reasonable-time sync our term for it

Last-minute plans don't live on calendars. They live in the conversation where they were made. What belongs on a calendar was planned ahead — and that syncs just fine.

All Plans

Search & Sort

Find any feed group in seconds with keyboard-focused search. Sort by name, creation date, or last synced — however your brain organises things.

All Plans

Revoke & Replace Feed URL

Shared a feed URL with someone you no longer want to have access? Kill it in one click. The old URL stops working instantly — paste the new one wherever you need.

All Plans

Duplicate Feed Group

Same Basecamp projects, different audience. Duplicate any group as a starting point, adjust the filters, and share a fresh URL. Useful when clients need meetings-only and your team needs everything.

All Plans

Event Filtering

Every Basecamp project mixes meetings, to-dos, and card milestones. Choose exactly which types appear in each feed group — per group, not per account. Clients see only what's relevant to them. You see everything.

Pro

Bulk Operations

When you're managing 20+ feed groups across clients and projects, one-by-one updates don't scale. Select multiple groups at once and regenerate URLs or delete them in bulk — so a client offboarding or a full URL refresh doesn't eat your afternoon.

Client Alpha

5 feeds • Last synced: 2m ago

Client Beta

3 feeds • Last synced: 5m ago

Internal Team

8 feeds • Last synced: 1h ago

Pro

Team Access

You keep the billing and account control. Your team gets full access to create and manage feeds. Add up to 2 teammates — 3 seats total including you — each signing in with their own Google account. One subscription covers the whole team.

Pro

Custom Calendar Name

By default, your feed shows up as Feedhammer in Google Calendar. Pro lets you set your own name — so clients see your agency or brand, not ours. Set it before sharing your feed URL: Google Calendar captures the name on first subscription and won't update it afterward.

Pro

Export & Import

Back up your entire Feedhammer setup or migrate it to a new account — every group, every source, every setting, in one JSON file. Export for peace of mind, import to rebuild after a switch or share a tested configuration with your team.

Does my client need a Feedhammer account?

No. You create the feed group, they receive a URL. They paste it into their calendar app — that's the entire interaction on their end. One URL can be shared with as many people as you like. There's no per-person limit, no seat count, no separate login for anyone receiving the feed.

Will events update automatically when Basecamp changes?

Yes — within your calendar app's sync window. Google Calendar typically refreshes every 5–8 hours. The feed always reflects your current Basecamp projects; the only variable is when the app next checks.

Can I share the same feed URL with my whole team?

Yes. A single feed URL works for any number of people simultaneously. If you want different people to see different things, create separate feed groups — each gets its own URL with its own filter settings.

What happens if I cancel my subscription?

Your feed URLs stop serving data. Anyone who added them will see an empty subscription. Give your clients a heads-up before cancelling so they can remove it cleanly from their calendar.

Can I pull from multiple Basecamp workspaces?

Yes. A feed group accepts iCal URLs from any Basecamp workspace. No restriction on accounts or workspaces per group.

Get Started

Your clients' calendars deserve better.

Subscribe, sign in with Google to set up your account, create your first feed group, and hand your clients a URL that actually works.
Your Google account is just for login — the feed URLs you create work with any calendar app, for anyone you share them with.
