Interact with Basecamp API

Actions76

Overview

This node integrates with the Basecamp API, specifically providing access to various Basecamp resources and operations. For the "Person" resource with the "Get My Profile" operation, it retrieves the profile information of the authenticated user. This is useful in scenarios where you want to personalize workflows based on the current user's details or verify user identity within automation processes.

Practical examples include:

  • Automatically fetching the current user's profile to customize notifications or messages.
  • Using profile data to log or audit actions performed by the user.
  • Integrating user-specific information into reports or dashboards.

Properties

Name Meaning
Return Full Response Whether to return the full HTTP response including status code, headers, and body, or only the response body.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the user's profile information retrieved from Basecamp. If the "Return Full Response" property is set to true, the output includes the entire HTTP response object containing status code, headers, and body; otherwise, it returns only the body part which contains the profile details.

No binary data output is involved in this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API authentication token configured via OAuth2 credentials for Basecamp.
  • The node uses the Basecamp API endpoint constructed with the account ID provided in the credentials.
  • Proper network connectivity to Basecamp's API service is necessary.

Troubleshooting

  • Authentication errors: Ensure that the OAuth2 credentials are correctly set up and have not expired.
  • Permission issues: The authenticated user must have permission to access their own profile data.
  • API rate limits: Excessive requests may lead to throttling; implement retry logic or reduce request frequency.
  • Invalid account ID: Verify that the account ID used in the base URL is correct and corresponds to your Basecamp account.

Common error messages might include unauthorized access or resource not found, typically resolved by checking credentials and resource availability.
