Consume Autotask REST API

Actions389

Overview

This node integrates with the Autotask REST API to manage Contract Exclusion Roles, specifically allowing users to create new contract exclusion role entries. It is useful in scenarios where businesses need to define roles that are excluded from certain contracts, helping automate contract management workflows. For example, a user can create a contract exclusion role to specify that certain employee roles should not be billed under a particular contract.

Properties

Name Meaning
Fields Defines the data fields to map for the contract exclusion role being created. This property uses a resource mapper to allow users to specify which fields to include and how to map them when creating the contract exclusion role.

Output

JSON

  • id - The unique identifier of the created contract exclusion role.
  • name - The name of the contract exclusion role created.
  • description - A description of the contract exclusion role, if provided.
  • otherProperties - Additional properties returned by the Autotask API related to the created contract exclusion role.

Dependencies

  • Requires an Autotask API credential (API key or token) to authenticate requests to 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 'contractExclusionRoles' and the operation is 'create'.
  • Errors related to authentication usually mean the Autotask API credentials are missing or invalid; ensure the credentials are correctly configured.
  • Mapping errors can occur if required fields are missing or incorrectly mapped in the 'Fields' property; double-check the field mappings.
  • API rate limits or network issues can cause failures; check network connectivity and Autotask API usage limits.
