Overview
This node operation retrieves a specific column from a card table within a project management or organizational tool that uses the concept of "Card Tables." It is useful when you need to access detailed information about a particular column, such as its metadata or configuration, by specifying the bucket and column identifiers. Practical examples include fetching column details to display in a dashboard, synchronizing column data with another system, or validating column properties before performing further operations.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Bucket Id | The unique numeric identifier of the bucket (or card table) that contains the column. |
| Column Id | The unique numeric identifier of the column to retrieve within the specified bucket. |
Output
The output will contain a JSON object representing the requested column's details. This typically includes metadata such as the column's name, type, settings, and any other relevant attributes defined by the card table system. The exact structure depends on the external API's response but generally provides comprehensive information about the column.
No binary data output is expected for this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential or OAuth2 token configured in n8n to authenticate requests to the external service managing the card tables.
- The node relies on the external service's REST API endpoint to fetch column data based on provided bucket and column IDs.
- Proper network connectivity and permissions to access the specified bucket and column are necessary.
Troubleshooting
Common Issues:
- Invalid or missing Bucket Id or Column Id can cause the request to fail or return no data.
- Authentication errors if the API key or token is not set up correctly or has expired.
- Permission errors if the authenticated user does not have access to the specified bucket or column.
- Network issues or incorrect base URL configuration may prevent successful API calls.
Error Messages:
- "Unauthorized" or "Authentication failed": Check API credentials and re-authenticate if needed.
- "Not Found" or "Column does not exist": Verify that the Bucket Id and Column Id are correct and that the column exists.
- "Bad Request": Ensure that the input parameters are valid numbers and properly formatted.
Resolving these usually involves verifying input values, refreshing credentials, and ensuring proper permissions.
