Consume Autotask REST API

Actions389

Overview

This node interacts with the Autotask REST API to perform operations on Contact resources, specifically to count contacts matching specified criteria. It is useful for workflows that need to retrieve the number of contacts in Autotask without fetching full contact details, such as reporting, monitoring, or conditional logic based on contact counts.

Properties

Name Meaning
Fields Defines the fields to map or filter on when performing the count operation on contacts. This allows specifying which contact fields to consider in the count criteria.

Output

JSON

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

Dependencies

  • Requires an Autotask API key credential for authentication to access 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 'contact'.
  • Authentication errors may occur if the Autotask API credentials are missing or invalid; ensure valid API credentials are configured.
  • Incorrect or incomplete field mappings in the 'Fields' property may cause the count operation to fail or return unexpected results; verify the field mappings correspond to valid contact fields.
  • Network or API rate limit errors can occur; check network connectivity and Autotask API usage limits.
