Interact with OpenProject via API

Actions199

Overview

This node interacts with the OpenProject API to read a specific notification by its ID. It is useful in workflows where you need to retrieve details about a particular notification, such as when automating alert handling, monitoring project updates, or integrating notification data into other systems.

For example, you might use this node to fetch the content of a notification triggered by a project event and then send a summary via email or log it for auditing purposes.

Properties

Name Meaning
Id The unique identifier of the notification to be read. This is a required numeric value specifying which notification's details to retrieve.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the notification object retrieved from the OpenProject API. This typically includes fields such as notification id, subject, body, creation date, and related metadata depending on the API response structure.

No binary data output is produced by this node.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the OpenProject API.
  • The base URL of the OpenProject instance must be configured in the node credentials.
  • The node depends on the OpenProject REST API being accessible and the provided notification ID existing.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid Notification ID: If the specified notification ID does not exist, the API will likely return a 404 error. Verify that the ID is correct and that the notification has not been deleted.
  • Authentication Errors: Ensure the API key credential is valid and has sufficient permissions to read notifications.
  • Network Issues: Confirm that the OpenProject server URL is reachable from the n8n environment.
  • API Changes: If the OpenProject API changes, the node may fail to parse responses correctly. Check for updates to the node or API documentation.
