Overview
This node integrates with the ConnectWise Manage API to manage product catalog items. Specifically, the Product Catalog - Create operation allows users to add new products into their ConnectWise procurement catalog. This is useful for businesses that want to automate and streamline the management of their product inventory within ConnectWise Manage.
Common scenarios include:
- Automatically adding new products from an external system or database into ConnectWise.
- Creating product entries as part of a larger workflow involving procurement or sales processes.
- Keeping product catalogs up-to-date without manual entry.
Example: A company receives new product data daily and uses this node to create corresponding product catalog items in ConnectWise Manage automatically, including details like price, SKU, manufacturer, and category.
Properties

Output
The node outputs JSON objects representing the created product catalog items as returned by the ConnectWise Manage API. Each output item corresponds to one created product catalog entry and contains all the properties of that product as stored in ConnectWise.
No binary data output is produced by this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the ConnectWise Manage API.
- The node configuration must include the ConnectWise Manage site URL and valid credentials.
- Network access to the ConnectWise Manage API endpoint is necessary.
Troubleshooting
- Missing Required Fields: If the "Name" property is not provided, the node will throw an error because it is required to create a product catalog item.
- Authentication Errors: Ensure that the API key credential is correctly configured and has sufficient permissions to create product catalog items.
- API Endpoint Issues: Verify that the ConnectWise Manage site URL is correct and reachable.
- Invalid Field Values: Providing invalid data types (e.g., string instead of number for Price) may cause API errors.
- Error Messages: The node surfaces API error messages directly. Check the error details for clues such as missing permissions, invalid input, or server issues.
