Campfire → Create a Campfire Line

AI-generated

Overview

This node operation allows users to create a new line (message) in a Campfire chat within a specified project in Basecamp. It is useful for automating communication by programmatically posting messages to Campfire chats, such as sending updates, alerts, or notifications directly into a project chat room.

Use Case Examples

Automatically post a status update to a Campfire chat when a task is completed.
Send a notification message to a Campfire chat when a new client inquiry is received.

Properties

Name	Meaning
Project ID	The ID of the project (bucket) where the Campfire chat is located. It is used in the API endpoint path to specify the project.
chatId	The ID of the Campfire chat where the line will be created. It is used in the API endpoint path to specify the chat.
Content	The text content of the Campfire line to be created. This is the message body that will be posted in the chat.
Return Full Response	A boolean option to determine whether to return the full HTTP response (including status code, headers, and body) or just the response body.
Request Options	Additional request options such as batching, SSL certificate validation, proxy settings, and timeout configuration for the API request.

Output

JSON

id - The unique identifier of the created Campfire line.
content - The text content of the created Campfire line.
created_at - Timestamp when the Campfire line was created.
creator - Information about the user who created the Campfire line.

Dependencies

An OAuth2 API credential for Basecamp authentication

Troubleshooting

Ensure the Project ID and chatId are correct and correspond to existing resources in Basecamp to avoid 404 errors.
If the content is empty or invalid, the API may reject the request; ensure the content is properly formatted and not empty.
If 'Return Full Response' is enabled, the output will include HTTP status and headers which may require additional handling in workflows.
Network issues or incorrect proxy settings can cause request failures; verify network connectivity and proxy configuration.
SSL certificate validation errors can be bypassed by enabling 'Ignore SSL Issues', but this should be used cautiously due to security risks.
