Hi all

I have started using Basecamp and we are enjoying it as it is simple enough for my team to use. I’d love to use something with more features, but the team wouldn’t handle it I don’t think. 

Anyway, I want to somehow automatically archive completed to-do’s in Basecamp. The only way currently is to do it manually - so you tick off that you have done it, then it goes to the bottom of your list, then you have to click it again, click the . . . and then say archive.

You can’t turn off showing completed tasks, so the only way to stop having an enormous list that just keeps growing is to archive the tasks individually. 

Hope I have made sense!

Hi @Aussie_Golfer_Chick 

You’d likely have to use the Basecamp3 API for this which is an advanced approach: https://github.com/basecamp/bc3-api/blob/master/sections/todos.md

However, the Basecamp3 API doesn’t indicate there is an endpoint for archiving To-Dos.

 

There is the ability to archive a Recording, so it may be possible, but would have to be tested.
