Nextcloud DeckInstall

Overview

The node "Nextcloud Deck" allows managing Nextcloud Deck resources such as Boards, Stacks, Cards, Comments, and Attachments. Specifically, the operation "Karte Löschen" (Delete Card) enables users to delete a card from a specified board and stack within Nextcloud Deck.

This node is beneficial in automation workflows where you want to programmatically remove cards based on certain conditions or triggers, for example:

• Automatically deleting completed task cards from a project board.
• Cleaning up outdated or irrelevant cards in bulk.
• Integrating with other systems to synchronize card deletions.

Properties

Details:

• Board: The container of stacks; must be specified to locate the card.
• Stack: A grouping inside the board that contains cards.
• Karte (Card): The specific card to delete.

Each property supports two modes:

• List mode: Search and select from existing resources.
• ID mode: Directly input the numeric ID of the resource.

All three properties are required for the delete card operation.

Output

The output JSON contains the response from the deletion operation. Typically, this will confirm successful deletion or provide error details if the operation failed.

Since this is a delete operation, no binary data output is expected.

Example output structure:

{
  "success": true,
  "message": "Card deleted successfully"
}

or in case of failure:

{
  "error": "Card not found or already deleted"
}

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Nextcloud Deck API.
• The node uses internal handlers to communicate with the Nextcloud Deck REST API.
• Network access to the Nextcloud instance hosting the Deck service is necessary.

Troubleshooting

• Common issues:

  • Invalid or missing Board, Stack, or Card IDs can cause failures.
  • Insufficient permissions or invalid API credentials will prevent deletion.
  • Network connectivity problems to the Nextcloud server.

• Error messages:

  • "Bitte eine gültige Board-ID (Zahl) eingeben": Enter a valid numeric Board ID.
  • "Bitte eine gültige Stack-ID (Zahl) eingeben": Enter a valid numeric Stack ID.
  • "Bitte eine gültige Card-ID (Zahl) eingeben": Enter a valid numeric Card ID.
  • "Unbekannte Ressource": The resource type provided is not recognized.
  • API errors returned from Nextcloud Deck will be passed through; check API logs for details.

• Resolutions:

  • Verify all IDs are correct and exist in your Nextcloud Deck instance.
  • Ensure the API key has sufficient rights to delete cards.
  • Test connectivity to the Nextcloud server.
  • Use the list mode to select resources to avoid manual ID entry errors.
