Overview
This node allows users to trash (delete or move to trash) a specific template within the "Templates" resource of the Basecamp API. It is useful in scenarios where you want to programmatically remove templates that are no longer needed, helping keep your template list clean and relevant.
For example, if you have automated workflows that manage project templates and need to delete outdated ones, this node can be integrated to perform that action based on template IDs.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Template Id | The unique numeric identifier of the template to be trashed. This property is required. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the Basecamp API after attempting to trash the specified template. This typically includes confirmation of the deletion or details about the trashed template. The exact structure depends on the API's response but generally confirms success or failure of the operation.
No binary data output is expected from this operation.
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 in n8n is necessary.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Providing an invalid or non-existent Template Id will likely result in an error from the API indicating the template was not found.
- Missing or incorrect API authentication credentials will cause authorization errors.
- Network connectivity issues may prevent the node from reaching the Basecamp API.
Error messages and resolutions:
- "Template not found": Verify that the Template Id is correct and exists in your Basecamp account.
- "Unauthorized" or "Authentication failed": Check that the API key or OAuth token is correctly configured and has sufficient permissions.
- Timeout or network errors: Ensure stable internet connection and that the Basecamp API service is reachable.
