BasecampInstall

Overview

This node allows users to create a new template in the Templates resource of an external service (likely Basecamp, based on context). It is useful for automating the creation of reusable templates that can standardize project setups, task lists, or other repeatable content structures. For example, a project manager could use this node to programmatically create a project template with a specific name and description, which can then be applied across multiple projects to ensure consistency.

Properties

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the newly created template object as returned by the API. This typically includes details such as the template's unique identifier, name, description, creation timestamps, and any other metadata provided by the service.

No binary data output is indicated.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for authentication with the external service.
• The node uses a base URL constructed dynamically from credentials (e.g., a Basecamp account ID).
• The node sends requests with Accept: application/json and Content-Type: application/json headers.
• No additional external dependencies are indicated beyond the API access.

Troubleshooting

• Missing Required Property: If the "Name" property is not provided, the node will likely throw a validation error before making the request.
• Authentication Errors: Ensure the API key or OAuth2 token is correctly configured and has permissions to create templates.
• API Endpoint Issues: Verify that the base URL and account ID used in the request are correct; incorrect values may cause 404 or authorization errors.
• Invalid Input Format: The "Name" and "Description" must be strings; providing other types may cause request failures.
