Actions80

Overview

This node interacts with the Basecamp API to retrieve a specific todo list from a project bucket. It is useful when you want to fetch detailed information about a particular todo list within a given project bucket in Basecamp. For example, you might use this node to display or process tasks grouped under a specific todo list in your automation workflow.

Properties

Name Meaning
Bucket Id ID of the project bucket (number) where the todo list resides. This identifies the project container.
Todolist Id ID of the specific todo list (number) to retrieve details for.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the requested todo list's details as returned by the Basecamp API. This typically includes fields such as the todo list's name, description, status, creation date, and associated todos. The output does not include binary data.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Basecamp API.
  • The node uses the Basecamp API endpoint constructed with the user's Basecamp account ID.
  • No additional external dependencies are required beyond the Basecamp API access.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:
    • Invalid or missing Bucket Id or Todolist Id will cause the API request to fail.
    • Authentication errors if the API key credential is invalid or expired.
    • Network connectivity problems can prevent reaching the Basecamp API.
  • Error messages:
    • "Unauthorized" or "Authentication failed": Check that the API key credential is correctly configured and valid.
    • "Not Found" or "404": Verify that the Bucket Id and Todolist Id exist and belong to the authenticated user.
    • "Bad Request": Ensure that the IDs are provided as numbers and are valid.
