Basecamp

Interact with the Basecamp API

Actions80

Overview

This node interacts with the Basecamp API to retrieve information about a specific card table within a project bucket. It is useful when you want to fetch detailed data about a particular card table in your Basecamp workspace, such as for project management dashboards, reporting, or automation workflows that depend on card table contents.

A practical example would be automating the retrieval of a card table's details to sync with another project management tool or to trigger notifications based on the card table's status.

Properties

Name Meaning
Bucket Id ID of the project bucket containing the card table. This identifies the project scope.
Card Table Id ID of the specific card table to retrieve within the given bucket.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the full details of the requested card table. This typically includes metadata about the card table such as its name, description, cards it contains, and other relevant properties as defined by the Basecamp 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 authenticated user's Basecamp account ID.
  • Proper configuration of the API authentication credentials in n8n is necessary.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing Bucket Id or Card Table Id will cause the API request to fail.
    • Authentication errors if the API key or OAuth token is not set up correctly.
    • Network or permission issues accessing the Basecamp API.
  • Error messages:

    • "Unauthorized" or "Authentication failed": Check that the API credentials are valid and have the required permissions.
    • "Not Found" or "404": Verify that the Bucket Id and Card Table Id exist and are correct.
    • "Bad Request": Ensure that the input parameters are numbers and properly provided.
