Overview

This node operation creates a new column in a specified card table within a project (bucket) in Basecamp. It is useful for users who want to programmatically add organizational columns to their card tables to better manage tasks or data within a project. For example, a project manager can automate the addition of columns like 'In Progress' or 'Completed' to a card table to streamline workflow tracking.

Use Case Examples

1. Create a new column titled 'Priority' in a card table to categorize tasks by urgency.
2. Add a 'Notes' column to a card table to allow team members to add additional information to cards.

Properties

Output

JSON

• id - The unique identifier of the created column.
• title - The title of the created column.
• description - The description of the created column.
• created_at - Timestamp when the column was created.
• updated_at - Timestamp when the column was last updated.

Dependencies

• Basecamp API with OAuth2 authentication

Troubleshooting

• Ensure the Project ID and cardTableId are correct and exist in Basecamp to avoid 404 errors.
• Check that the OAuth2 credentials are valid and have the necessary permissions to create columns in the specified project.
• If the API returns an error, verify the title and description fields for any invalid characters or length restrictions.
• If 'Return Full Response' is enabled, be prepared to handle the full HTTP response object instead of just the body.
