Overview

This node interacts with the Autotask REST API to retrieve detailed information about a specific Billing Code by its ID. It is useful in scenarios where you need to fetch billing code details for invoicing, reporting, or integration with other systems. For example, you can use it to get the description, rates, or other metadata of a billing code to automate billing workflows or synchronize data with accounting software.

Properties

Name Meaning
Billing Code ID The unique identifier of the billing code to retrieve. This is a required input to specify which billing code's details to fetch.
Add Picklist Labels Determines whether to automatically add human-readable "_label" fields for picklist fields in the response. This helps in understanding picklist values without needing to look up codes.
Add Reference Labels Determines whether to automatically add human-readable "_label" fields for reference fields in the response. This makes reference fields easier to interpret.
Select Columns Names or IDs. Allows selection of specific fields to include in the response. If no fields are selected, all fields are returned. The ID field is always included regardless of selection.
Flatten User-Defined Fields When enabled, user-defined fields (UDFs) are brought up to the top level of the returned object instead of being nested inside a userDefinedFields array, simplifying access to these fields.

Output

JSON

  • id - The unique identifier of the billing code.
  • name - The name of the billing code.
  • description - Description or details about the billing code.
  • userDefinedFields - An array of user-defined fields associated with the billing code, unless flattened.
    _label - Human-readable labels for picklist fields, added if 'Add Picklist Labels' is enabled._label - Human-readable labels for reference fields, added if 'Add Reference Labels' is enabled.

Dependencies

  • Requires an Autotask API key credential for authentication to access the Autotask REST API.

Troubleshooting

  • If the Billing Code ID is invalid or not found, the node will throw an error indicating the resource could not be retrieved. Verify the ID is correct.
  • If authentication fails, ensure the Autotask API credentials are correctly configured and have sufficient permissions.
  • Selecting invalid or non-existent fields in 'Select Columns' may result in incomplete or error responses. Use the provided dropdown or valid field IDs.
  • If picklist or reference labels are not appearing as expected, verify that the corresponding options ('Add Picklist Labels' and 'Add Reference Labels') are enabled.
