OpenProject

Interact with OpenProject via API

Actions199

Overview

The node provides an operation to open a file link by its identifier. It allows users to either open the file directly or open the directory location containing the file. This can be useful in workflows where you want to quickly access files referenced by their links, for example, opening a document stored in a remote system or navigating to the folder containing a specific file.

Practical examples:

  • Automatically opening a report file after it is generated and linked.
  • Navigating to the folder of a downloaded file for further processing or review.

Properties

Name Meaning
Id The unique numeric identifier of the file link to open.
Location Boolean flag indicating whether to open the file itself (false) or the directory location (true).

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the "Open File Link" operation. The exact structure is not detailed in the provided code, but typically it would include confirmation of the action performed or metadata about the opened file or directory.

If the node supports binary data output (not indicated here), it would represent the file content or related binary information.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential to authenticate with the external service managing file links.
  • The base URL for the API is configured via credentials.
  • The node uses HTTP requests with JSON headers to interact with the API.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid Id: If the provided file link ID does not exist or is incorrect, the node may return an error indicating the file link was not found. Verify the ID value.
  • Permission Issues: Lack of proper API authentication or insufficient permissions may cause authorization errors. Ensure the API key credential has the necessary rights.
  • Network Errors: Connectivity issues to the API endpoint will prevent the node from functioning. Check network settings and API availability.
  • Incorrect Location Flag: Setting the location flag incorrectly might open the wrong target (file vs. directory). Confirm the intended behavior matches the boolean flag.

Links and References

  • No direct external links were provided in the source code.
  • For more details on the API used, consult the documentation of the external file link management system integrated with this node.
