Overview
This node operation allows repositioning a specific todo item within a project bucket in Basecamp. It is useful when you want to reorder tasks to reflect their priority or sequence without manually dragging them in the Basecamp interface. For example, if you have a list of todos and want to move a particular task from position 5 to position 2, this operation updates its position accordingly.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Bucket Id | The unique identifier of the project bucket containing the todo. |
| Todo Id | The unique identifier of the todo item to be repositioned. |
| Position | The new 1-based position index where the todo should be placed. |
Output
The output JSON contains the updated todo item data after repositioning. This typically includes the todo's details such as its ID, content, and new position within the bucket. There is no binary data output for this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Basecamp API.
- The node uses the Basecamp API endpoint structured as
https://3.basecampapi.com/{basecampId}where{basecampId}is provided by the user's credentials. - Proper permissions on the Basecamp account to modify todos are necessary.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid Bucket Id or Todo Id: If either ID does not exist or is incorrect, the API will return an error. Verify that the IDs correspond to existing resources.
- Position Out of Range: Setting a position less than 1 or greater than the number of todos in the bucket may cause errors. Ensure the position is within valid bounds.
- Authentication Errors: Missing or invalid API credentials will prevent the request from succeeding. Confirm that the API key or OAuth token is correctly configured.
- API Rate Limits: Excessive requests might lead to rate limiting by Basecamp. Implement retries with backoff if needed.
