OpenProjectInstall

Overview

This node interacts with the OpenProject API to retrieve data related to work packages. Specifically, the "Available Projects For Work Package" operation fetches a list of projects that are available or associated with a given work package ID. This can be useful in project management workflows where you need to dynamically obtain project information linked to specific work packages for reporting, automation, or integration purposes.

Practical examples include:

• Automatically listing all projects related to a particular work package to generate status reports.
• Feeding project data into other systems or dashboards based on work package context.
• Triggering further automation steps depending on which projects are available for a work package.

Properties

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the projects available for the specified work package. The structure typically includes project details such as project IDs, names, and possibly other metadata returned by the OpenProject API. 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 OpenProject REST API being accessible and the provided work package ID being valid.

Troubleshooting

• Invalid or missing work package ID: Ensure the "Id" property is set to a valid number corresponding to an existing work package.
• Authentication errors: Verify that the API key credential is correctly configured and has sufficient permissions.
• Network or connectivity issues: Confirm that the OpenProject API endpoint is reachable from the n8n environment.
• Unexpected API responses: Check if the work package exists and if the user associated with the API key has access to its projects.
