Basecamp

Interact with the Basecamp API

Actions80

Overview

This node interacts with the Basecamp API to retrieve a list of people associated with a specific project. It is useful in scenarios where you need to manage or analyze team members involved in a project, such as generating reports, sending notifications, or syncing user data with other systems.

For example, you might use this node to:

  • Fetch all users assigned to a project before sending them an update email.
  • Integrate project member data into a CRM or HR system.
  • Display project team members in a custom dashboard.

Properties

Name Meaning
Project Id The unique numeric identifier of the project for which to get the people.

Output

The node outputs JSON data containing details about the people on the specified project. Each item in the output typically represents one person and includes their relevant information as provided by the Basecamp API (such as name, email, role, etc.).

If the API supports it, binary data output is not expected for this operation since it deals with user metadata.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Basecamp API.
  • The node uses the Basecamp API endpoint constructed with the user's Basecamp account ID.
  • Proper configuration of the Basecamp OAuth2 credentials within n8n is necessary.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid Project Id: If the project ID does not exist or is incorrect, the API will likely return an error or empty result. Verify the project ID before running the node.
  • Authentication Errors: Ensure that the API key or OAuth2 token is valid and has sufficient permissions to access project data.
  • Network Issues: Connectivity problems can cause request failures; check your network and Basecamp service status.
  • API Rate Limits: Excessive requests may be throttled by Basecamp; consider adding delays or handling rate limit errors gracefully.
