Basecamp

Overview

This node interacts with the Basecamp API to retrieve a specific schedule entry from a given bucket. It is useful when you want to fetch detailed information about a particular scheduled item within a project or team environment managed in Basecamp. For example, you might use this node to get the details of a meeting, deadline, or event stored in a Basecamp schedule to display it in another system or trigger further automation based on that schedule entry.

Properties

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the requested schedule entry. This JSON typically includes all relevant details of the schedule entry such as title, description, start and end times, participants, and any other metadata provided by the Basecamp API for that entry.

No binary data output is indicated.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Basecamp API.
• The node uses the Basecamp API endpoint constructed dynamically using the authenticated user's Basecamp account ID.
• Proper configuration of the API authentication credentials in n8n is necessary for successful requests.

Troubleshooting

• Common issues:

  • Invalid or missing Bucket Id or Entry Id will cause the API request to fail.
  • Authentication errors if the API key or OAuth token is not set up correctly.
  • Network or permission issues accessing the Basecamp API.

• Error messages:

  • "Unauthorized" or "Authentication failed": Check that the API credentials are valid and have the required permissions.
  • "Not Found" or "404": Verify that the Bucket Id and Entry Id exist and are correct.
  • "Bad Request": Ensure that the input parameters are numbers and properly formatted.

Resolving these usually involves verifying input values and ensuring the API credentials are correctly configured in n8n.
