Basecamp

Overview

This node interacts with the Basecamp API to retrieve templates. Specifically, the "Get Templates" operation fetches a list of templates filtered by their status. This is useful for workflows that need to manage or display project templates based on whether they are active, archived, or trashed.

Practical examples include:

• Automatically listing all active templates to create new projects.
• Archiving or cleaning up templates by identifying those marked as archived or trashed.
• Integrating template data into reports or dashboards.

Properties

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the list of templates retrieved from the Basecamp API. Each item in the output typically contains details about a template such as its ID, name, status, and other metadata provided by the API.

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 user's Basecamp account ID.
• Proper configuration of the API authentication credentials within n8n is necessary.

Troubleshooting

• Common issues:

  • Invalid or missing API credentials will cause authentication errors.
  • Incorrect Basecamp account ID configuration may lead to failed requests.
  • Filtering by an unsupported status value could result in empty responses or errors.

• Error messages:

  • Authentication failures usually indicate invalid or expired API tokens; re-authenticate or update credentials.
  • HTTP 404 or similar errors might mean the Basecamp ID is incorrect or the resource does not exist.
  • Network or timeout errors suggest connectivity issues; verify network access and API availability.
