Overview
This node interacts with the OpenProject API to manage various resources such as projects, users, work packages, priorities, and more. Specifically, for the Priority resource with the Delete operation, it deletes a priority entry identified by its ID from the OpenProject system.
Common scenarios where this node is useful include automating project management workflows where priorities need to be programmatically removed, such as cleaning up obsolete or incorrect priority entries in bulk or as part of a larger automation pipeline.
Example use case:
- Automatically deleting a priority when it is no longer relevant after a project phase ends.
- Integrating with other systems to sync priority deletions based on external triggers.
Properties

Output
The output JSON contains the response from the OpenProject API after attempting to delete the specified priority. Typically, for a successful delete operation, the API may return an empty object or confirmation details depending on the API design.
No binary data is output by this node.
Example output JSON (successful deletion):
{}
If an error occurs, the output will contain an error message describing the failure.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to the OpenProject API.
- Needs an API key credential configured in n8n for authentication.
- The base URL of the OpenProject instance must be provided in the credentials.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid or missing Priority ID: Ensure the Priority ID provided exists and is correct.
- Authentication errors: Verify that the API key credential is valid and has sufficient permissions.
- Network or connectivity problems: Confirm that the OpenProject instance is reachable from n8n.
Error messages:
OpenProject error response: <message>: Indicates an error returned by the OpenProject API, often due to invalid input or permission issues. Check the message for specifics.- Other generic errors may indicate network issues or misconfiguration.
To resolve errors, verify all input parameters, credentials, and network access.
