Overview

This node operation allows you to move a card within a Card Table by changing its column and bucket placement. It is useful in project management or task tracking scenarios where cards represent tasks, issues, or items that need to be reorganized dynamically. For example, you might want to move a task card from one column (e.g., "To Do") to another (e.g., "In Progress") or change its bucket grouping to reflect priority or team assignment.

Properties

Name Meaning
Bucket Id The identifier of the bucket where the card should be moved.
Card Id The identifier of the card that you want to move.
Column Id The identifier of the target column to which the card will be moved.

Output

The output contains JSON data representing the updated state of the moved card after the operation completes successfully. This typically includes details such as the card's new position, column, and bucket information. There is no indication that binary data is involved in this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authentication with the Basecamp API.
  • The node uses the Basecamp API endpoint, specifically targeting the Card Tables resource.
  • Proper configuration of the Basecamp account ID and OAuth2 credentials is necessary for successful API calls.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid IDs: If the Bucket Id, Card Id, or Column Id are incorrect or do not exist, the API call will fail. Verify these IDs before running the node.
  • Authentication errors: Ensure that the API key or OAuth2 token is valid and has sufficient permissions to modify card tables.
  • Network issues: Connectivity problems can cause request failures; check your network connection and Basecamp service status.
  • API limits: Hitting rate limits on the Basecamp API may result in errors; consider implementing retries or backoff strategies.
