Overview

The "Get Inbox Replies" operation of the Inbox Reply resource in this Basecamp node allows users to retrieve replies from an inbox forward within a specific project (bucket). This is useful for workflows that need to process or analyze email replies or messages associated with a particular forward in a project. For example, you might use this node to gather all replies to a forwarded message in a project to automate follow-up actions, generate reports, or integrate with other communication tools.

Properties

Name	Meaning
Project ID	The numeric ID of the project (also called bucket) where the inbox forward exists.
Forward ID	The numeric ID of the forward message whose inbox replies you want to retrieve.
Return All Results	Boolean option to either return all available inbox replies or limit the results to a set number.
Return Full Response	Boolean option to return the entire HTTP response including status code and headers instead of just the response body.

Output

The main output is a JSON object containing the retrieved inbox replies.
If "Return Full Response" is enabled, the output includes the full HTTP response: status code, headers, and body.
The JSON structure typically contains an array of inbox reply objects, each representing a single reply with its details as provided by the Basecamp API.
No binary data output is indicated for this operation.

Dependencies

Requires an authenticated connection to the Basecamp API using OAuth2 credentials.
The node uses the Basecamp API endpoint constructed with the account ID credential and requires valid project and forward IDs.
Pagination support is included to handle multiple pages of inbox replies if "Return All Results" is enabled.

Troubleshooting

Invalid Project or Forward ID: Errors may occur if the provided project or forward IDs do not exist or are incorrect. Verify these IDs in your Basecamp account.
Authentication Errors: Ensure the OAuth2 credentials are correctly configured and have sufficient permissions to access the project's inbox forwards.
Pagination Issues: When "Return All Results" is enabled, network issues or API rate limits could interrupt pagination. Consider limiting results or handling retries.
API Rate Limits: Frequent requests may hit Basecamp API rate limits; implement error handling and backoff strategies accordingly.
