Overview

This node creates a new project in Basecamp using the Basecamp API. It is useful for automating project creation workflows, such as setting up new projects based on triggers or other system events. For example, when a new client is onboarded, this node can automatically create a corresponding project in Basecamp with a specified name and optional description.

Use Case Examples

  1. Automatically create a project named 'New Client Project' when a new client is added to your CRM.
  2. Create a project with a detailed description for internal team collaboration.

Properties

Name Meaning
Name The name of the new project to be created.
Description An optional description providing more details about the new project.
Return Full Response Determines whether to return the full API response including status code, headers, and body, or just the response body.
Request Options Additional HTTP request options such as batching, SSL certificate validation, proxy settings, and timeout configuration.

Output

JSON

  • id - The unique identifier of the newly created project.
  • name - The name of the created project.
  • description - The description of the created project, if provided.
  • created_at - Timestamp when the project was created.

Dependencies

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the OAuth2 credentials are correctly configured and have permissions to create projects in Basecamp.
  • If the API returns an error, check that the 'name' property is provided and valid, as it is required.
  • Network issues or incorrect proxy settings can cause request failures; verify proxy and timeout configurations.
  • If SSL certificate validation fails and 'Ignore SSL Issues' is not enabled, the request will be blocked.
