Planka

Overview

The Remove Member from Board operation for the 📋 BOARD resource in this n8n node allows you to remove a specific member from a board in Planka by providing the membership ID. This is useful for automating user management workflows, such as revoking access when a team member leaves a project or needs to be removed from a particular board.

Practical scenarios:

• Automatically removing users from boards when their role changes.
• Cleaning up board memberships as part of offboarding processes.
• Integrating with HR or IT systems to synchronize board access.

Properties

Output

The output will be a JSON object reflecting the result of the removal operation. Typically, for a successful deletion, the response may be empty or contain a status confirmation, depending on the Planka API's behavior. If an error occurs and "Continue On Fail" is enabled, the output will include an error field with the error message.

Example output (success):

{}

Example output (failure, with Continue On Fail):

{
  "error": "Membership not found"
}

Dependencies

• Planka API: Requires access to a running Planka instance.
• API Credentials: You must configure the plankaApi credentials in n8n for authentication.

Troubleshooting

Common issues:

• Invalid Membership ID: If the provided Membership ID does not exist, the API will return an error such as "Membership not found."
• Insufficient Permissions: The API key/user used must have permission to remove members from the specified board.
• Network/API Errors: Connectivity issues or incorrect API base URL can cause failures.

Error messages and resolutions:

• "Membership not found": Double-check the Membership ID; ensure it exists and is correct.
• "Unauthorized" or "Forbidden": Verify that your API credentials are valid and have sufficient permissions.
• "An unknown error occurred": Check network connectivity and review the full error details in the n8n execution log.
