Basecamp

Overview

This node interacts with the Basecamp API to retrieve information about people associated with a specific project. The "Get People On Project" operation fetches all users who are members of a given project in Basecamp. This is useful for scenarios where you need to automate workflows involving project team members, such as sending notifications, generating reports, or syncing user data with other systems.

Practical examples:

• Automatically notify all people on a project when a new task is created.
• Generate a list of project members to assign roles or permissions in another tool.
• Sync project team members with an external CRM or HR system.

Properties

Output

The node outputs JSON data containing details about each person on the specified project. The structure typically includes user information such as names, email addresses, roles, and possibly other metadata provided by the Basecamp API.

If the node supports binary data output (not indicated here), it would be used for file attachments or similar content, but this operation focuses on JSON user data only.

Dependencies

• Requires an API authentication token configured via OAuth2 credentials to access the Basecamp API.
• The node depends on the Basecamp API being accessible and the provided project ID being valid.
• No additional environment variables are explicitly required beyond the API credentials.

Troubleshooting

• Invalid Project Id: If the project ID does not exist or the authenticated user lacks access, the API will return an error. Verify the project ID and permissions.
• Authentication Errors: Ensure that the OAuth2 credentials are correctly set up and have not expired.
• API Rate Limits: Basecamp may enforce rate limits; if exceeded, requests might fail temporarily.
• Empty Results: If no people are returned, confirm that the project has members and the correct project ID was used.
