Basecamp

Interact with the Basecamp API

Actions80

Overview

This node operation "Uncomplete Todo" for the "Todos" resource interacts with a project management API to mark a specific todo item as not completed. It is useful in scenarios where a user needs to revert the status of a task that was previously marked as done, allowing for task reactivation or correction of completion errors.

Practical examples include:

  • Reopening a task that was mistakenly marked complete.
  • Reactivating a todo item when additional work is required.
  • Managing task workflows dynamically based on changing project requirements.

Properties

Name Meaning
Bucket Id ID of the project bucket containing the todo. This identifies the project context.
Todo Id ID of the specific todo item to be marked as uncompleted.

Output

The output JSON will typically contain the updated todo item data reflecting its new status as uncompleted. This may include fields such as the todo's ID, content, completion status, and timestamps. The exact structure depends on the API response but generally confirms the successful update of the todo's state.

No binary data output is expected from this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Basecamp API.
  • The node uses the Basecamp API endpoint, which requires the base URL to be constructed using the user's Basecamp account ID.
  • Proper network access to the Basecamp API service is necessary.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid Bucket Id or Todo Id: If the provided IDs do not exist or are incorrect, the API will likely return an error indicating the resource was not found. Verify the IDs before running the node.
  • Authentication Errors: Missing or invalid API credentials will cause authentication failures. Ensure the API key or OAuth token is correctly configured.
  • Permission Issues: Insufficient permissions on the Basecamp account can prevent updating todos. Confirm the authenticated user has rights to modify the specified bucket and todo.
  • API Rate Limits: Excessive requests might trigger rate limiting by the Basecamp API. Implement retry logic or reduce request frequency if needed.
