Overview

The Plutio Project Copy operation node allows you to duplicate an existing project within your Plutio workspace. This is useful when you want to create a new project based on the structure, tasks, or settings of an existing one—such as for recurring client work, templated projects, or standardized processes.

Practical examples:

  • Creating a new client project by copying a pre-configured template project.
  • Duplicating a project to start a similar initiative without manual setup.
  • Quickly spinning up multiple projects with the same structure for different teams.

Properties

Name Type Meaning
Project ID String The unique identifier of the project you wish to copy.
Index Number (Optional) The position after which the new copied project should be placed in the list.

Output

The output will be a JSON object representing the newly created (copied) project. The structure typically includes fields such as:

{
  "_id": "string",
  "name": "string",
  "templateId": "string",
  "contributors": ["string"],
  "customFields": [ ... ],
  // ...other project properties as returned by the Plutio API
}
  • If the operation is successful, you receive the full details of the copied project.
  • If there is an error and "Continue On Fail" is enabled, the output will include an error field with the error message.

Dependencies

  • Plutio API: Requires access to the Plutio API.
  • API Credentials: You must configure valid Plutio API credentials in n8n under the name plutioApi.

Troubleshooting

Common issues:

  • Invalid Project ID: If the provided Project ID does not exist, the operation will fail with an error indicating the project was not found.
  • Missing Permissions: If the API credentials do not have permission to copy projects, you may receive an authorization error.
  • Index Out of Range: Providing an invalid index may result in the project being placed incorrectly or an error from the API.

Error messages:

  • "Project not found": Check that the Project ID is correct and exists in your Plutio account.
  • "Unauthorized": Ensure your API credentials are set up correctly and have sufficient permissions.
  • "Invalid index": Make sure the index value is a valid number and within the range of existing projects.
