Overview
The Update Project Background operation for the 🏢 PROJECT resource in this n8n node allows you to change the background image of a specific project in Planka. This is useful for visually customizing projects, improving team recognition, or branding within your Planka workspace.
Common scenarios:
- Updating a project's background to reflect its current status or theme.
- Branding projects with company or client-specific images.
- Quickly changing visuals for seasonal events or campaigns.
Practical example:
You have a "Marketing Campaign" project and want to update its background image to match the latest campaign graphics. Using this node operation, you can automate the upload of a new background image as part of your workflow.
Properties
| Name | Type | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Project ID | String | The unique identifier of the project to update. |
| Background Image File | String | The file (path or binary reference) to upload as the new background image for the project. |
Output
- The output will be a JSON object representing the updated project after the background image has been changed.
- The structure typically includes project details such as
id,name, and updated background information. - If an error occurs and "Continue On Fail" is enabled, the output will include a field like:
{ "error": "Error message here" }
Dependencies
- External Service: Requires access to a running Planka API instance.
- Authentication: Needs valid Planka API credentials configured in n8n under the credential type
plankaApi. - n8n Configuration: The file to upload must be accessible to n8n (either as a path or from previous workflow steps).
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid Project ID: If the provided Project ID does not exist, the API will return an error.
- File Not Found/Accessible: If the specified file cannot be found or accessed by n8n, the upload will fail.
- API Authentication Errors: Invalid or missing API credentials will result in authentication errors.
Error messages and resolutions:
"Project not found": Check that the Project ID is correct and exists in Planka."File required"or"Cannot read file": Ensure the file path or binary data is correctly provided and accessible."Unauthorized": Verify that the Planka API credentials are set up properly in n8n.
