Authenticate Foldr

Paste your Foldr API key (from foldr.space/developers) when Zapier prompts for authentication.

Map fields and turn the Zap on

Map the Basecamp data into Foldr's input fields, test once, then enable the Zap.

Basecamp + Foldr FAQ

How do I connect Foldr to Basecamp?

You connect Foldr to Basecamp via Zapier. Full steps are listed above under "How to Connect". In short: create a Foldr API key, configure the Zapier integration pointed at https://foldr.space/api/v1/, and map Basecamp's data into Foldr's request body.

Do I need a paid Foldr plan to use Basecamp with Foldr?

The Foldr free tier supports basic uploads via the API with 7-day expiry. For integration use with Basecamp — higher rate limits, permanent storage, multiple API keys, and webhook subscriptions — Foldr Pro (from $5/mo) is recommended.

What Foldr features can I call from Basecamp?

From Basecamp you can invoke any Foldr action: uploading files (up to 2 GB each), creating short links, generating bio pages, creating hosted forms, and reading download analytics. See the Foldr API docs for the full endpoint list.

Is there an official Foldr app for Basecamp?

Not a first-party app — Foldr integrates with Basecamp through Zapier, which is usually a better fit because it doesn't require installing an extra app. If you'd rather have a native integration, let us know at foldr.space/contact.
