Overview
The node interacts with the Basecamp API to retrieve information about message types within a specified project (referred to as a "bucket" in Basecamp). Specifically, the "Get Message Types" operation fetches all available message types for a given project. This is useful when you want to understand or categorize messages by their type in your Basecamp projects.
Common scenarios include:
- Automating workflows that depend on message categorization.
- Integrating Basecamp message types into reporting or analytics tools.
- Synchronizing message type data with other project management systems.
For example, you might use this node to list all message types in a project before creating or filtering messages based on those types.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Project ID | The numeric ID of the project (bucket) from which to retrieve message types. |
| Return All Results | Whether to return all message types available or limit the results to a default maximum. |
| Return Full Response | Whether to return the full HTTP response including status code and headers, or just the body. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the message types retrieved from the Basecamp project. The structure typically includes an array of message type objects, each describing a specific message type available in the project.
If "Return Full Response" is enabled, the output will include the entire HTTP response object, containing status code, headers, and body.
No binary data output is involved in this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to the Basecamp API using OAuth2 authentication.
- The node expects a valid project ID to be provided.
- Network access to Basecamp's API endpoint (
https://3.basecampapi.com/) is necessary.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid Project ID: If the project ID does not exist or is incorrect, the API will likely return an error indicating the resource was not found. Verify the project ID is correct.
- Authentication Errors: Ensure the OAuth2 credentials are correctly configured and have sufficient permissions to access the project's message types.
- Pagination Issues: When "Return All Results" is enabled, the node handles pagination automatically. However, if the API changes its pagination scheme, results may be incomplete.
- API Rate Limits: Excessive requests may trigger rate limiting; handle such errors by implementing retries or backoff strategies.
