Overview

This node interacts with the Autotask REST API to create a Configuration Item Related Item. It allows users to define and map specific fields for the related item, enabling integration and automation of configuration management tasks within Autotask. This is useful for IT service management workflows where tracking relationships between configuration items is necessary, such as linking hardware components or software licenses to a primary configuration item.

Properties

Name Meaning
Fields Defines the fields and their values to map for the Configuration Item Related Item being created. This property uses a resource mapper to allow users to specify which fields to include and how to populate them.

Output

JSON

  • id - The unique identifier of the created Configuration Item Related Item.
  • fields - The data fields of the created Configuration Item Related Item as returned by the Autotask API.

Dependencies

Troubleshooting

  • Error 'Resource configurationItemRelatedItem is not supported' indicates the resource name is incorrect or not implemented; verify the resource name.
  • Field mapping errors may occur if required fields are missing or incorrectly mapped; ensure all mandatory fields for the related item are provided.
  • Authentication failures can happen if the Autotask API credentials are invalid or expired; verify and update credentials as needed.
  • API rate limits or network issues may cause request failures; check network connectivity and Autotask API usage limits.
