Interact with OpenProject via API

Actions199

Overview

This node interacts with the OpenProject API to manage work packages, specifically focusing on retrieving reminders related to a given work package. It is useful in scenarios where users want to automate notifications or track deadlines and updates associated with specific work packages in their project management workflow.

For example, a user might use this node to fetch all reminders for a particular work package to send automated email alerts or to update a dashboard with upcoming tasks and deadlines.

Properties

Name Meaning
Id The unique identifier of the work package for which reminders are to be retrieved. This is a required numeric input.

Output

The node outputs JSON data containing the reminders associated with the specified work package. The structure typically includes details such as reminder dates, messages, and possibly metadata about who set the reminder or its status.

If the node supports binary data output (not evident from the provided code), it would generally relate to attachments or files linked to reminders, but no such indication is present here.

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) bundled within the node for request building.

Troubleshooting

  • Common Issues:

    • Invalid or missing work package ID will result in errors or empty responses.
    • Incorrect API credentials or base URL configuration can cause authentication failures.
    • Network connectivity issues may prevent successful API calls.
  • Error Messages:

    • Authentication errors typically indicate invalid API keys or misconfigured credentials.
    • "Work package not found" errors suggest the provided ID does not exist or is inaccessible.
  • Resolutions:

    • Verify that the work package ID is correct and exists in the OpenProject instance.
    • Ensure API credentials and base URL are correctly set up in n8n.
    • Check network connectivity and firewall settings.
