Interact with the Basecamp API

Actions80

Overview

This node operation allows you to change the color of a specific column within a card table in Basecamp. It is useful for visually organizing and categorizing columns by color, making it easier to identify and prioritize information at a glance. For example, you might use this to highlight urgent tasks in red or completed stages in green.

Properties

Name Meaning
Bucket Id The unique identifier of the bucket (container) where the card table resides.
Column Id The unique identifier of the column whose color you want to change.
Color The new color to apply to the column. Options include: White, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Aqua, Purple, Gray, Pink, Brown.

Output

The output JSON contains the response from the API after changing the column color. This typically includes confirmation details such as the updated column's properties reflecting the new color. The node does not output binary data.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Basecamp API.
  • The node uses the Basecamp API endpoint constructed with the Basecamp account ID.
  • Proper permissions on the Basecamp account to modify card tables and columns are necessary.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid Bucket or Column Id: If the provided IDs do not exist or belong to another project, the API will return an error. Verify that the IDs are correct and accessible.
  • Authentication Errors: Ensure the API key or OAuth token is valid and has sufficient permissions.
  • Unsupported Color Value: Only the predefined colors are accepted. Using any other value will cause the request to fail.
  • Network Issues: Connectivity problems can prevent the API call from succeeding; check your network connection.
