Interact with the Basecamp API

Overview

This node operation allows repositioning a specific todo item within a project bucket in Basecamp. It is useful when you want to reorder tasks dynamically, for example, prioritizing certain todos by moving them higher or lower in the list. Practical scenarios include adjusting task priorities during project management or organizing todos after receiving new information.

Properties

Name Meaning
Bucket Id ID of the project bucket containing the todo to be repositioned.
Todo Id ID of the specific todo item to move.
Position New position (1-based index) where the todo should be placed in the list.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the updated todo item after it has been repositioned. This typically includes the todo's details such as its ID, content, and new position within the bucket. The output does not include binary data.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Basecamp API.
  • Needs the Basecamp account ID to construct the correct API base URL.
  • The node depends on the Basecamp REST API endpoint for managing todos within buckets.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid Bucket Id or Todo Id: If the provided IDs do not exist or are incorrect, the API will return an error indicating the resource was not found. Verify the IDs before running the node.
  • Position Out of Range: Setting a position less than 1 or greater than the number of todos in the bucket may cause errors or unexpected behavior. Ensure the position is within valid bounds.
  • Authentication Errors: Missing or invalid API credentials will prevent the node from accessing the Basecamp API. Confirm that the API key and account ID are correctly configured.
  • API Rate Limits: Frequent repositioning requests might hit rate limits imposed by Basecamp. If errors occur, consider adding delays or batching operations.
