Overview
This node interacts with the Basecamp API to retrieve details about a specific webhook configured in a Basecamp project (referred to as a "bucket" in the API). The "Get a Webhook" operation fetches information about a particular webhook by its ID within a given project.
Common scenarios where this node is useful include:
- Monitoring or auditing webhook configurations in Basecamp projects.
- Retrieving webhook metadata for integration or debugging purposes.
- Automating workflows that depend on webhook details, such as validating webhook setup before processing incoming events.
For example, you might use this node to programmatically verify that a webhook exists and is correctly configured before enabling an automation that relies on it.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Project ID | The numeric ID of the Basecamp project (bucket) containing the webhook. Used in the API path. |
| Webhook ID | The numeric ID of the webhook to retrieve. Used in the API path. |
| Return Full Response | Boolean flag indicating whether to return the full HTTP response (status code, headers, body) or just the response body. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the webhook details retrieved from Basecamp. This typically includes webhook configuration properties such as URL, event types subscribed to, and status.
If the "Return Full Response" property is enabled, the output will include the entire HTTP response object, which contains:
- Status code of the API request
- Response headers
- Response body (the webhook details)
No binary data output is involved in this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to the Basecamp API using OAuth2 authentication.
- The node expects the Basecamp account ID to be configured in credentials to construct the API base URL.
- No additional external dependencies are required beyond the Basecamp API access.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid Project ID or Webhook ID: If either ID is incorrect or does not exist, the API will likely return a 404 Not Found error. Verify the IDs are correct and correspond to existing resources.
- Authentication Errors: Missing or invalid OAuth2 credentials will cause authentication failures. Ensure valid credentials with appropriate permissions are configured.
- API Rate Limits: Excessive requests may trigger rate limiting by Basecamp. Implement retry logic or reduce request frequency if encountering rate limit errors.
- Return Full Response Misuse: Enabling "Return Full Response" changes the output format. Downstream nodes expecting only the webhook JSON body may fail if they receive the full HTTP response object instead.
