Token Refresh

This node automatically handles OAuth2 token refresh. Basecamp tokens expire after 2 weeks, but:

- ✅ Tokens refresh automatically when workflows run
- ✅ No manual reconnection needed for active workflows
- ⚠️ If unused for 2+ weeks, you may need to reconnect manually

Troubleshooting

$3

Make sure you're using version 1.0.2 or later which includes the required type=web_server` parameter.

$3

Run any workflow using the Basecamp credential - it will auto-refresh. If that fails, delete and recreate the credential.

$3

Basecamp allows 50 requests per 10 seconds. The node handles pagination automatically.
