Basecamp

Interact with the Basecamp API

Actions80

Overview

This node interacts with the Basecamp API to retrieve details of a specific Todo item within a project bucket. It is useful when you want to fetch information about a particular task (Todo) in a Basecamp project for further processing, reporting, or automation workflows.

For example, you might use this node to:

  • Automatically get the status and details of a Todo before sending notifications.
  • Integrate Basecamp Todos into other project management tools by fetching their data.
  • Trigger actions based on the properties of a specific Todo item.

Properties

Name Meaning
Bucket Id ID of the project bucket where the Todo resides. This identifies the project container.
Todo Id ID of the specific Todo item to retrieve details for.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the detailed information of the requested Todo item. This typically includes fields such as the Todo's title, description, completion status, due date, assignees, and other metadata provided by the Basecamp API.

No binary data output is expected from this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API authentication token credential for Basecamp (OAuth2).
  • The node uses the Basecamp API endpoint constructed dynamically using the authenticated user's Basecamp account ID.
  • Proper network access to Basecamp's API endpoints is necessary.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid Bucket Id or Todo Id: If the IDs provided do not exist or are incorrect, 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 OAuth2 credential is correctly configured 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 your network and proxy settings.
