Basecamp

Overview

This node operation allows the current user to subscribe to a specific resource identified by a bucket and recording within the Basecamp service. It is useful in scenarios where users want to receive updates or notifications related to particular items (recordings) grouped under a bucket. For example, a project manager might use this node to subscribe themselves to important meeting recordings or documents to stay informed about changes or comments.

Properties

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the subscription action. This typically includes confirmation details such as subscription status or metadata about the subscribed recording. There is no indication that binary data is output by this node.

Dependencies

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

Troubleshooting

• Common issues:

  • Invalid or missing Bucket Id or Recording Id can cause the subscription request to fail.
  • Authentication errors if the API key or OAuth token is not configured correctly.
  • Network or permission issues if the user does not have access rights to the specified bucket or recording.

• Error messages:

  • "Unauthorized" or "Authentication failed": Check that the API credentials are valid and properly set up.
  • "Not Found" or "Resource does not exist": Verify that the Bucket Id and Recording Id are correct and accessible.
  • "Bad Request": Ensure that all required parameters are provided and correctly formatted.
