We’ve been getting dozens of emails from people looking for an easy way to move their Basecamp projects over to Goplan, and we’re happy to finally announce a solution to that problem: the Goplan Importer.

The importer is, apart from obviously useful if you want to move providers, a good showcase of how you can use APIs to free your data and move across services. We built the importer using the APIs from the guys at 37Signals and our own.

Importing a project:

To import your project you can use either the Basecamp API or the XML file. If you’re going to be using the API, have your basecamp account owner turn on API access on the Account center. If you’d rather use the exported XML, use the Account center to export the XML file and use it in our importer. Either way, you can follow step-by-step instructions in our importer pages.

If you run into any problems moving your projects over, you can always email our support team and we guarantee one of our developers will get back to you personally to help out. No reason not to move, really.
