How to export a Basecamp to-do list into spreadsheet rows
A to-do export helps review a selected list as a structured snapshot. Keeping the list name alongside each item prevents tasks with similar wording from losing their context.
Start with the right material.
- What you provide
- a readable Basecamp project to-do list.
- The intended result
- A CSV of selected readable to-do items.
How the workflow works.
Record visible task titles, completion state and any supplied assignee or due date. Preserve missing values instead of guessing from neighboring tasks or project-wide dates.
What to check in the result.
Compare the exported items with the readable list. The file should not claim to include unopened discussions or every to-do across a project when only one selected list was examined.
Import the CSV with a consistent delimiter and inspect text identifiers, dates and amounts before using spreadsheet totals. Keep the original file available while checking any automatic type conversion.
Learn from the worked example.
The downloadable CSV example uses these columns: List, To-do, Assignee, Due date, Done. Compare a complete record with the source before sorting, combining or importing your own output.
The supplied example is illustrative. It is not a recorded run on your data.

- Open the source you want to work with and activate WebAct on that tab.
- Copy the task from the hero, add any required fields or preferences, and review the proposed actions.
- Compare the first result with your source. Ask for a specific correction or refinement where needed.
