Basecamp

Interact with the Basecamp API

Actions80

Overview

This node interacts with the Basecamp API to mark a specific todo item as completed within a project bucket. It is useful for automating task management workflows where you want to programmatically update the status of todos in Basecamp projects. For example, after a certain condition is met in your workflow (like receiving an approval or completing another task), this node can be used to automatically complete a related todo item in Basecamp.

Properties

Name Meaning
Bucket Id ID of the project bucket where the todo resides. This identifies the container/project holding the todo.
Todo Id ID of the specific todo item to mark as completed.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the updated todo item after it has been marked as completed. This typically includes details such as the todo's ID, completion status, and other metadata returned by the Basecamp API. The output does not include binary data.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API authentication token configured via OAuth2 credentials to access the Basecamp API.
  • Needs the Basecamp account ID to construct the API base URL.
  • Depends on the Basecamp API being accessible and the provided IDs (bucket and todo) being valid.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid Bucket Id or Todo Id: If the IDs are incorrect or do not exist, the API will return an error indicating the resource was not found. Verify that the IDs correspond to existing buckets and todos.
  • Authentication Errors: Missing or invalid API credentials will cause authentication failures. Ensure the OAuth2 credential is correctly set up and authorized.
  • API Rate Limits: Excessive requests may lead to rate limiting by Basecamp. Implement retry logic or reduce request frequency if needed.
  • Network Issues: Connectivity problems can cause request failures. Check network access and Basecamp service status.
