Consume Autotask REST API

Actions389

Overview

This node interacts with the Autotask REST API to perform operations on Configuration Items, specifically supporting the 'Count' operation among others. It allows users to count configuration items based on specified fields, which is useful for inventory management, auditing, or reporting scenarios within IT service management. For example, a user can count how many configuration items meet certain criteria to monitor asset distribution or compliance.

Properties

Name Meaning
Fields Defines which fields of the Configuration Items to map and use in the operation. This property supports resource mapping with options to define fields manually or auto-map them, enabling flexible selection of data points relevant to the count operation.

Output

JSON

  • count - The total number of Configuration Items matching the specified criteria.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Autotask REST API.

Troubleshooting

  • If the node throws an error indicating the resource is not supported, verify that the 'resource' parameter is set to 'configurationItems'.
  • Errors related to authentication usually mean the API key credential is missing or invalid; ensure proper credentials are configured.
  • Incorrect or incomplete field mappings in 'Fields' can cause unexpected results or errors; verify that the selected fields exist and are valid for Configuration Items.
  • Network or API rate limit errors may occur; check network connectivity and Autotask API usage limits.
