Consume Autotask REST API

Actions389

Overview

This node operation updates an existing Contract Rate in the Autotask system. It allows users to specify the ID of the contract rate they want to update and map the fields they wish to modify. This is useful for automating contract rate adjustments, ensuring contract data stays current without manual intervention. For example, a user can update pricing or rate details for a contract rate based on new agreements or changes in billing.

Properties

Name Meaning
Rate ID The unique identifier of the contract rate to update. This is required to specify which contract rate record will be modified.
Fields A resource mapper input that defines which fields of the contract rate should be updated and their new values. It supports defining fields manually or using auto-mapping features to streamline the update process.

Output

JSON

  • id - The ID of the updated contract rate, confirming which record was modified.
  • updatedFields - An object containing the fields that were updated and their new values.
  • status - The status of the update operation, indicating success or failure.
  • message - Additional information or error messages related to the update operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Autotask REST API.
  • Depends on the Autotask API endpoint for contract rates to perform update operations.

Troubleshooting

  • If the Rate ID is missing or invalid, the node will fail to locate the contract rate to update. Ensure the ID is correct and exists in Autotask.
  • Incorrect field mappings or unsupported fields may cause the update to fail. Verify that the fields being updated are valid for contract rates.
  • Authentication errors may occur if the API key credential is invalid or expired. Re-authenticate or update credentials as needed.
  • Network or API downtime can cause operation failures. Retry after some time or check Autotask service status.
