Basecamp

Interact with the Basecamp API

Actions80

Overview

This node interacts with the Basecamp API to retrieve details of a specific Todo Set within a project bucket. It is useful when you want to fetch information about a particular Todo Set, such as its tasks and metadata, for further processing or automation in your workflows.

Practical examples include:

  • Automatically fetching a Todo Set's details to display or analyze task progress.
  • Integrating Basecamp Todo Sets into reporting dashboards.
  • Triggering downstream actions based on the contents or status of a Todo Set.

Properties

Name Meaning
Bucket Id ID of the project bucket where the Todo Set resides (number)
Todoset Id ID of the specific Todo Set to retrieve (number)

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the requested Todo Set. This typically includes all relevant details of the Todo Set such as its title, description, associated tasks, completion status, and timestamps. The output can be used directly in subsequent workflow steps for analysis, notifications, or updates.

No binary data output is involved.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API authentication token credential for Basecamp (OAuth2).
  • The node uses the Basecamp API endpoint constructed dynamically using the authenticated user's Basecamp account ID.
  • No additional external dependencies beyond the Basecamp API and proper credential configuration.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid Bucket Id or Todoset Id: If the provided IDs do not exist or are incorrect, the API will return an error. Verify that the IDs correspond to existing resources in your Basecamp account.
  • Authentication Errors: Ensure the API authentication token is valid and has sufficient permissions to access the specified Todo Sets.
  • Network Issues: Connectivity problems may cause request failures; check network settings and Basecamp service status.
  • API Rate Limits: Excessive requests might trigger rate limiting; consider adding delays or retries.

Common error messages usually indicate invalid credentials, missing parameters, or resource not found. Double-check input properties and credential setup to resolve these.
