Plane

Consume Plane API

Overview

This node interacts with the Plane API to manage projects and their related entities. Specifically, for the Project - Delete operation, it deletes a project identified by its Project ID. This is useful in scenarios where you want to automate the cleanup or removal of obsolete or completed projects from your Plane workspace.

Practical examples include:

  • Automatically deleting projects that have been marked as completed in another system.
  • Cleaning up test or temporary projects created during automated workflows.
  • Managing project lifecycle by removing projects no longer needed.

Properties

Name Meaning
Project ID The unique identifier of the project to delete. This is a required string input.

Output

The output JSON contains the response from the Plane API after attempting to delete the specified project. Typically, this will be an empty object or confirmation message indicating successful deletion. If the deletion fails, the output may contain error details.

No binary data output is involved in this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the Plane API via an API key credential configured in n8n.
  • The node uses internal helper functions to make HTTP requests to the Plane API endpoints.
  • No additional external services are required specifically for the delete operation.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Providing an invalid or non-existent Project ID will result in an error from the Plane API.
    • Insufficient permissions associated with the API key can cause authorization errors.
    • Network connectivity issues may prevent the request from completing.
  • Error messages:

    • Errors returned by the Plane API (e.g., "Project not found" or "Unauthorized") will be surfaced by the node.
    • If the node is set to continue on fail, errors will be included in the output array under an error property.
  • Resolution tips:

    • Verify the Project ID is correct and exists in your Plane workspace.
    • Ensure the API key has sufficient permissions to delete projects.
    • Check network connectivity and Plane API service status.
