New tips and tricks category - Bulk upload to Basecamp - June 7, 2008 -

admin |

It’s obvious that Mailmanagr lets you send e-mail to Basecamp, but have you considered all of the things that it can do?

I’m starting up a new “tips & tricks” category here on the blog to post some ideas for unconventional (or maybe “less conventional”) uses. If you’ve got a tip, a trick, or just an idea, please send it in to info@industryinteractive.net and we’ll share it with everyone.

So, without further ado, here’s tip #1:

Have you ever wished that you could bulk-upload files to Basecamp? Maybe you’ve got a dozen photos of various things for your client to take a look at, maybe it’s a report with an accompanying spreadsheet.

Why not attach all of those files to an e-mail message and fire it off to Mailmanagr? Mailmanagr can take your e-mail, convert it to a message, and attach the files to it. Those files will also show up in your “Files” area, where they can be reviewed.

Obviously this isn’t a solution for dumping gigabytes of data into your Basecamp account, but it sure beats uploading a bunch of small files one at a time.
