Overview
This node integrates with the FreshBooks API to retrieve detailed information about a specific project within a FreshBooks business account. The "Get Project" operation fetches data for one project identified by its unique ID, scoped under a given business.
Typical use cases include:
- Automating retrieval of project details for reporting or dashboarding.
- Synchronizing project data from FreshBooks into other systems.
- Triggering workflows based on project attributes or status changes.
For example, you might use this node to get the current status and metadata of a project before creating an invoice or sending a notification.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Business ID | Your FreshBooks Business ID. This identifies the business account in FreshBooks. You can find it in your FreshBooks account URL or by calling the user info endpoint. |
Note: Although the provided properties JSON only lists "Business ID", the node's internal routing expects also a project identifier parameter (likely projectId or similar) to specify which project to get. However, this is not explicitly listed in the provided input properties.
Output
The output of this operation is a JSON object representing the project details retrieved from FreshBooks. The structure typically includes fields such as project name, description, status, client association, start and end dates, and other metadata defined by FreshBooks' project resource.
The node outputs this data under the json property of each item. There is no indication that binary data is returned for this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an authenticated connection to FreshBooks via an OAuth2 API credential.
- Needs the FreshBooks Business ID to scope requests.
- The node uses the FreshBooks REST API endpoint for projects, specifically under
/comments/business/{businessId}/projects.
Troubleshooting
- Missing or incorrect Business ID: If the Business ID is not set correctly, the API call will fail. Verify the Business ID from your FreshBooks account URL or user info endpoint.
- Project ID not provided or invalid: Although not explicitly shown in the input properties, the operation requires a project identifier to fetch a specific project. Ensure this parameter is supplied correctly.
- Authentication errors: Make sure the OAuth2 credentials are valid and have the necessary permissions.
- API rate limits or network issues: These may cause request failures; check API usage and connectivity.
- Unexpected empty results: Confirm that the project exists under the specified business and that the user has access rights.
