OpenProjectInstall

Overview

This node operation allows you to add an attachment to a specific meeting within the OpenProject system. It is useful when you want to programmatically upload or link files, documents, or other relevant attachments directly to a meeting record for collaboration and reference purposes.

Common scenarios include:

• Automatically attaching meeting notes or agendas generated by other workflows.
• Uploading related documents such as presentations or reports to a scheduled meeting.
• Linking files from external sources to meetings for easy access by participants.

Properties

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the attachment addition operation. This typically includes confirmation details such as the attachment metadata, status, and possibly the updated meeting information reflecting the new attachment.

If binary data (such as the actual file content) is involved, it would be handled accordingly, but based on the provided code snippet, the focus is on referencing the meeting by ID and adding the attachment via API calls rather than handling raw binary data directly.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the OpenProject API.
• Needs the base URL of the OpenProject instance configured in the node credentials.
• Depends on the OpenProject REST API being accessible and properly configured to accept attachment uploads to meetings.

Troubleshooting

• Invalid Meeting ID: If the provided meeting ID does not exist or is incorrect, the API call will fail. Verify the meeting ID before running the node.
• Authentication Errors: Ensure that the API key or authentication token is valid and has sufficient permissions to modify meetings and add attachments.
• Network Issues: Connectivity problems between n8n and the OpenProject server can cause failures. Check network settings and firewall rules.
• Attachment Size Limits: If uploading large files, verify that the OpenProject instance supports the file size and type.
