Overview

This node integrates with the Autotask REST API to create a new Contact record. It allows users to define and map specific fields for the Contact resource, enabling automation of contact creation within Autotask. This is useful for workflows that need to add new contacts based on external data or events, such as syncing customer information from other systems or capturing leads.

  • fields - An object containing the data fields of the created Contact as returned by the Autotask API.

Dependencies

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the Autotask API credentials are correctly configured and have permissions to create Contact records.
  • Verify that all required Contact fields are provided in the mapping; missing mandatory fields may cause API errors.
  • Check network connectivity and API endpoint availability if requests fail.
  • Error messages from the Autotask API typically indicate invalid field values or permission issues; review the error details to adjust the input accordingly.
