Overview
This node operation retrieves detailed information about a specific "forward" entity within a given bucket (project) in the Basecamp system. It is useful when you need to fetch and work with data related to a particular forward, such as for auditing, reporting, or further processing in an automation workflow.
Practical examples include:
- Automatically fetching forward details to update a dashboard.
- Using forward data to trigger notifications or other workflows.
- Integrating forward information into external systems for synchronization.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Bucket Id | The ID of the bucket (project) where the forward exists. This identifies the project context. |
| Forward Id | The unique ID of the forward to retrieve. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the full details of the requested forward. This typically includes all properties returned by the Basecamp API for that forward, such as metadata, status, timestamps, and any associated information.
No binary data output is expected from this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an API authentication token credential configured in n8n to access the Basecamp API.
- The node uses the Basecamp API endpoint constructed with the authenticated user's Basecamp account ID.
- Network connectivity to the Basecamp API service is necessary.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid Bucket Id or Forward Id: If either ID is incorrect or does not exist, the API will return an error indicating the resource was not found. Verify the IDs are correct.
- Authentication Errors: Missing or invalid API credentials will cause authentication failures. Ensure the API key/token is correctly set up.
- Network Issues: Connectivity problems can cause timeouts or failed requests. Check network access to the Basecamp API.
- Permission Denied: The authenticated user must have permission to access the specified bucket and forward. Lack of permissions will result in authorization errors.
