Overview
This node operation allows repositioning a specific todo item within a project bucket in Basecamp. It is useful when you want to reorder tasks dynamically, for example, prioritizing certain todos by moving them higher or lower in the list. Practical scenarios include adjusting task sequences after team discussions or reorganizing work priorities without manually dragging items in the Basecamp UI.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Bucket Id | The unique identifier of the project bucket containing the todo. |
| Todo Id | The unique identifier of the todo item to be repositioned. |
| Position | The new position (1-based index) where the todo should be placed. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the updated todo item after it has been repositioned. This typically includes the todo's details such as its ID, content, and new position within the bucket. There is no binary data output for this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Basecamp API.
- Needs the Basecamp account ID to construct the correct API base URL.
- The node depends on the Basecamp REST API endpoint that handles todo repositioning within buckets.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid Bucket Id or Todo Id: If either ID does not exist or is incorrect, the API will return an error indicating the resource was not found. Verify IDs before running the node.
- Position Out of Range: Providing a position less than 1 or greater than the number of todos in the bucket may cause errors or unexpected behavior. Ensure the position is within valid bounds.
- Authentication Errors: Missing or invalid API credentials will result in authorization failures. Confirm that the API key/token is correctly configured.
- API Rate Limits: Frequent repositioning requests might hit rate limits imposed by Basecamp. Implement retries or backoff strategies if needed.
