Interact with OpenProject via API

Overview

This node integrates with the OpenProject API to update a project form. It allows users to modify details of an existing project by specifying its unique identifier. This is useful in scenarios where project information needs to be programmatically updated within workflows, such as automating project status changes, updating project metadata, or syncing project data from other systems.

Example use cases:

  • Automatically updating project details when a related task is completed.
  • Syncing project information from a CRM or ERP system.
  • Bulk updating multiple projects based on external triggers.

Properties

Name Meaning
Id The unique numeric identifier of the project to update. This is required to specify which project will be modified.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the OpenProject API after attempting to update the project form. This typically includes the updated project details or confirmation of the update operation. There is no indication that binary data is output by this node.

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 depends on the @devlikeapro/n8n-openapi-node package and an OpenAPI specification (openapi.json) to build its properties and handle requests.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid Project Id: If the provided project ID does not exist, the API will likely return an error indicating the project was not found. Verify the ID is correct.
  • Authentication Errors: Ensure the API key credential is valid and has sufficient permissions to update projects.
  • Network Issues: Check connectivity to the OpenProject server URL configured in credentials.
  • Malformed Requests: If additional fields are added beyond the ID (not shown here), ensure they conform to the API schema to avoid validation errors.
