Overview

This node operation retrieves a list of activities associated with a specific work package in OpenProject. It is useful for project managers or team members who want to track or analyze the progress and history of tasks grouped under a particular work package. For example, you can use this node to fetch all logged activities such as status changes, comments, or time entries related to a given work package to generate reports or trigger further automation based on activity data.

Properties

Name Meaning
Id The unique identifier of the work package whose activities you want to list. This is a required numeric input.

Output

The output contains a JSON array of activity objects related to the specified work package. Each activity object typically includes details such as the type of activity (e.g., comment, status update), timestamp, author, and any relevant content or metadata describing the change or event.

If the node supports binary data output (not indicated here), it would represent attachments or files related to the activities, but this operation primarily returns structured JSON data about work package activities.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential to authenticate with the OpenProject API.
  • Needs the base URL of the OpenProject instance configured in the node credentials.
  • Depends on the OpenProject REST API being accessible and the user having sufficient permissions to read work package activities.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing work package ID will result in errors or empty results.
    • Authentication failures due to incorrect or expired API keys.
    • Insufficient permissions to access work package activities.
    • Network connectivity problems to the OpenProject server.
  • Error messages and resolutions:

    • "Unauthorized" or "Authentication failed": Verify that the API key credential is correctly set and has not expired.
    • "Work package not found": Confirm the provided work package ID exists and is correct.
    • "Forbidden" or "Access denied": Ensure the authenticated user has permission to view the work package activities.
    • Timeouts or network errors: Check network connectivity and OpenProject server availability.
