OpenProjectInstall

Overview

This node interacts with the OpenProject API to retrieve information about unread notifications. Specifically, the "Unread Notification" operation under the "Notifications" resource fetches details of a single unread notification by its ID. This is useful in workflows where you want to process or respond to specific notifications from OpenProject automatically, such as alerting team members, logging important updates, or triggering other automation based on notification content.

Example use cases:

• Automatically fetching and processing a particular unread notification when it arrives.
• Integrating OpenProject notifications into a broader alerting or ticketing system.
• Archiving or marking notifications as read after processing them in an external system.

Properties

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the unread notification identified by the given ID. The structure typically includes fields describing the notification's content, status, creation time, and related metadata as defined by the OpenProject API.

If the node supports binary data output (not evident from the provided code), it would represent any attachments or media associated with the notification. However, based on the static analysis, the output is primarily JSON.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the OpenProject API.
• Needs the base URL of the OpenProject instance configured in the credentials.
• Depends on the @devlikeapro/n8n-openapi-node package for building request properties and handling API interactions.
• Uses an OpenAPI specification (openapi.json) bundled with the node to define available operations and parameters.

Troubleshooting

• Missing or invalid notification ID: Ensure the "Id" property is set and corresponds to an existing unread notification; otherwise, the API will return an error.
• Authentication errors: Verify that the API key and base URL credentials are correctly configured and have sufficient permissions to access notifications.
• Network or connectivity issues: Confirm that the OpenProject server is reachable from the n8n environment.
• Unexpected API responses: Check if the OpenProject API version matches the one expected by the node's OpenAPI spec to avoid incompatibilities.
