Consume Autotask REST API

Actions389

Overview

This node operation updates an existing Contract Milestone in the Autotask system. It allows users to specify the milestone by its ID and update various fields of the milestone using a flexible field mapping mechanism. This is useful for automating contract management workflows where milestone details need to be programmatically modified, such as adjusting milestone dates, statuses, or descriptions based on external triggers or data changes.

Properties

Name Meaning
Milestone ID The unique identifier of the contract milestone to update. This is required to specify which milestone record will be modified.
Fields A resource mapper input that defines which fields of the contract milestone should be updated and their new values. This allows selective updating of milestone properties.

Output

JSON

  • id - The ID of the updated contract milestone.
  • fields - The updated fields and their new values for the contract milestone.
  • status - The status or result of the update operation, indicating success or failure.

Dependencies

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

Troubleshooting

  • If the Milestone ID is missing or invalid, the node will fail to locate the milestone to update. Ensure the ID is correct and exists in Autotask.
  • Incorrect or unsupported field names in the Fields mapping may cause the update to fail. Verify field names against the Autotask contract milestone schema.
  • API authentication errors may occur if the API key credential is invalid or expired. Re-authenticate or update credentials as needed.
  • Network or API rate limiting issues can cause intermittent failures. Implement retry logic or check API usage limits.
