OpenProjectInstall

Overview

This node allows you to create a new project in the OpenProject system via its API. It is useful for automating project management workflows, such as setting up new projects programmatically when triggered by other events or systems. For example, you could use this node to automatically create a project when a new client signs up or when a new product development cycle begins.

Properties

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the newly created project as returned by the OpenProject API. This includes all the properties sent during creation along with any additional metadata or identifiers assigned by the server. There is no binary output.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the OpenProject API.
• The base URL for the OpenProject instance must be configured in the node credentials.
• The node sends requests with Content-Type: application/json and expects JSON responses.

Troubleshooting

• Authentication errors: Ensure the API key and base URL are correctly set in the credentials.
• Validation errors: Check that required fields like name and id are provided and valid.
• JSON parsing errors: When entering JSON for fields like description or statusExplanation, ensure the JSON is well-formed.
• Permission issues: Some fields like createdAt may require elevated permissions or special settings enabled on the OpenProject server.
