Overview

The "Move Card" operation within the "Card Tables" resource allows users to move a specific card to a different column within a card table. This is useful in project management or task tracking scenarios where cards represent tasks or items that need to be reorganized as priorities or statuses change. For example, moving a task card from a "To Do" column to an "In Progress" column to reflect its current state.

Properties

Name Meaning
Bucket Id The identifier of the bucket (a container or board) where the card currently resides.
Card Id The unique identifier of the card that needs to be moved.
Column Id The identifier of the target column where the card should be moved to.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the move operation. Typically, this includes details about the updated card, such as its new position or column assignment. There is no indication that binary data is output by this node.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Basecamp API.
  • The node uses the Basecamp API endpoint, which requires the Basecamp account ID to construct the base URL.
  • Proper configuration of the API authentication and Basecamp account information in n8n credentials is necessary.

Troubleshooting

  • Common Issues:

    • Invalid or missing Bucket Id, Card Id, or Column Id can cause the operation to fail.
    • Authentication errors if the API key or OAuth token is not correctly configured.
    • Network or permission issues accessing the Basecamp API.
  • Error Messages:

    • Errors related to "Not Found" usually indicate incorrect IDs.
    • Authentication errors suggest checking the API credentials.
    • Rate limiting or API quota exceeded errors require waiting or adjusting usage.
