Overview
This node integrates with the IT Glue API to create a new Configuration record within an organization. It is useful for IT professionals and asset managers who want to automate the process of adding detailed configuration data about hardware or software assets into their IT documentation system.
Typical use cases include:
- Automatically registering new devices or systems as they are provisioned.
- Keeping asset inventory up-to-date by creating configurations programmatically.
- Integrating with other systems (e.g., procurement, helpdesk) to streamline asset tracking.
For example, when a new server is purchased and set up, this node can be used to create its configuration entry in IT Glue, including details like hostname, IP address, serial number, manufacturer, and warranty information.

Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the newly created Configuration object as returned by the IT Glue API. This typically includes all the fields sent during creation along with additional metadata such as unique IDs, timestamps, and relationships.
If the node supports binary data output, it would represent attachments or files related to the configuration, but for this operation, the output is primarily structured JSON data describing the configuration.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to the IT Glue API via an API key credential configured in n8n.
- The node uses the IT Glue REST API with JSON:API content type headers.
- Proper permissions on the API key to create Configuration records are necessary.
Troubleshooting
- Missing Required Fields: If required properties like Organization ID, Configuration Type ID, or Name are missing, the API will reject the request. Ensure these fields are provided.
- Invalid IDs: Providing invalid or non-existent IDs for related entities (e.g., Manufacturer ID, Location ID) may cause errors. Verify that referenced IDs exist in IT Glue.
- Authentication Errors: If the API key is invalid or lacks permissions, authentication errors will occur. Check the API key validity and scope.
- Date Format Issues: Date/time fields must be in ISO 8601 format. Incorrect formats may cause validation errors.
- API Rate Limits: Excessive requests might trigger rate limiting; handle retries accordingly.
