Overview
This node operation retrieves detailed information about a specific "forward" entity within a given bucket (project) in the Basecamp API. It is useful when you need to fetch and work with data related to a particular forward, such as for auditing, reporting, or further processing in an automation workflow.
Practical examples include:
- Fetching details of a forward to display in a dashboard.
- Using forward data to trigger conditional logic in subsequent workflow steps.
- Integrating forward information into other systems or notifications.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Bucket Id | The ID of the bucket (project) where the forward exists. This identifies the project context. |
| Forward Id | The unique ID of the forward to retrieve. |
Output
The node outputs a JSON object containing the full details of the requested forward. This typically includes all properties returned by the Basecamp API for a forward, such as identifiers, metadata, timestamps, and any relevant content fields.
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 based on the provided bucket ID.
- Proper network access to the Basecamp API service is necessary.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid Bucket Id or Forward Id: If either ID is incorrect or does not exist, the API will likely return a 404 error. Verify that the IDs are correct and correspond to existing resources.
- Authentication Errors: Missing or invalid API credentials will cause authentication failures. Ensure the API key or OAuth token is correctly configured.
- Network Issues: Connectivity problems can prevent successful API calls. Check internet connection and firewall settings.
- API Rate Limits: Excessive requests may lead to rate limiting. Implement retry logic or reduce request frequency if needed.
