Overview
This node operation allows you to create a new column within a specified card table in a card-based project management or organizational system. It is useful when you want to dynamically add columns to organize cards into different categories, stages, or types. For example, you might use this to add a "Priority" column or a "Status" column to a task board.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Bucket Id | The numeric identifier of the bucket that contains the card table where the column will be created. |
| Card Table Id | The numeric identifier of the card table in which the new column will be added. |
| Title | The title or name of the new column to be created. |
| Description | An optional description providing additional details about the new column. |
Output
The output JSON contains the details of the newly created column, including its identifiers and any metadata returned by the API. This typically includes the column's ID, title, description, and possibly timestamps or status fields depending on the API response.
No binary data output is involved in this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authentication with the external service managing card tables.
- The node uses a base URL constructed from credentials (e.g., a Basecamp ID) to target the correct API endpoint.
- The node depends on the external API to support creating columns within card tables.
Troubleshooting
- Missing or invalid Bucket Id or Card Table Id: Ensure these IDs are correct and correspond to existing buckets and card tables; otherwise, the API will reject the request.
- Authentication errors: Verify that the API key or OAuth token is valid and has sufficient permissions to create columns.
- Invalid or empty Title: The title is required; leaving it empty may cause the API to return an error.
- API rate limits or downtime: If requests fail unexpectedly, check for API rate limiting or service outages.
Links and References
- Refer to the official API documentation of the card table service for detailed information on creating columns.
- Consult n8n documentation on how to configure API credentials and use HTTP request nodes if customizations are needed.
