Recurring Events

Basecamp 2 makes it easy to add events that happen more than once, like meetings, classes, appointments, or birthdays. Here's how it works.

Add a Recurring Event

Change a Recurring Event

  1. If you need to change any details about a recurring event – like its title, time, or start date – you can apply those changes to just one instance, or all future instances too.

Delete a Recurring Event

  1. To delete a recurring event, click the event, then click the trash can icon.
