Overview
The 🗑️ Delete Board Label operation for the 📋 BOARD resource in this n8n node allows you to permanently remove a label from a board in Planka, a project management tool. This is useful when you want to clean up unused or obsolete labels from your boards to keep your workspace organized.
Common scenarios:
- Removing outdated or redundant labels from a board.
- Automating board maintenance tasks as part of a workflow (e.g., after archiving cards with a certain label, delete the label itself).
- Keeping the labeling system consistent by removing labels that are no longer needed.
Practical example:
You have an automation that, at the end of each sprint, removes all "Sprint X" labels from your board. This operation can be used to delete those labels programmatically.
Properties
| Name | Type | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Label ID | String | The unique identifier of the board label to be deleted. Required. |
Output
- The output will be a JSON object representing the response from the Planka API after attempting to delete the label.
- If successful, the response may be empty or contain confirmation details depending on the API's implementation.
- If an error occurs and "Continue On Fail" is enabled, the output will include an
errorfield with the error message.
Example success output:
{}
Example error output (with Continue On Fail):
{
"error": "Label not found"
}
Dependencies
- External Service: Requires access to a running Planka instance with API enabled.
- Authentication: Needs valid Planka API credentials configured in n8n under the credential type
plankaApi. - n8n Configuration: No special environment variables required beyond standard credential setup.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid Label ID: If the provided Label ID does not exist, the API will likely return a "not found" error.
- Insufficient Permissions: The user associated with the API credentials must have permission to delete labels on the specified board.
- Network/API Errors: Connectivity issues or incorrect API base URL configuration can cause failures.
Error messages and resolutions:
"Label not found": Double-check the Label ID; ensure it exists and is correct."Unauthorized"or"Forbidden": Verify that the API credentials have sufficient permissions."An unknown error occurred": Check network connectivity and review the full error message in n8n's execution logs.
