Overview
This node interacts with the Basecamp API to retrieve a specific client reply associated with a project. The "Get a Client Reply" operation fetches detailed information about a particular client reply identified by its unique ID, which is linked to a recording (such as client correspondence or approval) within a project.
Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:
- Automating retrieval of client feedback or responses stored in Basecamp projects.
- Integrating client replies into workflows for further processing, such as notifications or analytics.
- Synchronizing client communication data from Basecamp into other systems.
For example, a project manager might use this node to automatically pull client replies related to a specific task or approval process and then trigger follow-up actions based on the content of those replies.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Project ID | The ID of the project (bucket) in Basecamp. Used in the API endpoint path to specify the project scope. |
| Recording ID | The ID of the recording (client correspondence or client approval). Used in the API endpoint path. |
| Reply ID | The ID of the client reply to retrieve. Used in the API endpoint path to identify the specific reply. |
| Return Full Response | Boolean flag indicating whether to return the full HTTP response (status code, headers, body) instead of only the response body. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the client reply retrieved from Basecamp. This includes all details provided by the API about that reply, such as content, timestamps, author information, and any metadata associated with the reply.
If the "Return Full Response" property is set to true, the output will include the entire HTTP response object, containing:
- Status code
- Response headers
- Response body (the client reply data)
Otherwise, only the response body (the client reply data) is returned.
The node does not output binary data.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to the Basecamp API using OAuth2 authentication.
- The user must provide valid credentials with access rights to the specified Basecamp account and project.
- The node uses the Basecamp API base URL constructed dynamically from the authenticated account ID.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid IDs: If the Project ID, Recording ID, or Reply ID are incorrect or do not exist, the API will likely return a 404 Not Found error. Verify that these IDs are correct and correspond to existing resources in Basecamp.
- Authentication errors: If the OAuth2 credentials are missing, expired, or invalid, the node will fail to authenticate. Ensure the API credentials are correctly configured and have necessary permissions.
- Permission issues: Even with valid credentials, insufficient permissions to access the specified project or client reply can cause authorization errors (e.g., 403 Forbidden).
- Network issues: Connectivity problems or Basecamp API downtime may result in request failures or timeouts.
- Return Full Response confusion: When enabling "Return Full Response," users should be prepared to handle the full HTTP response structure rather than just the reply data.
