Overview

This node integrates with the Autotask REST API to manage Contract Retainers. Specifically, the 'Create' operation allows users to create new contract retainer records in Autotask by mapping input fields to the API's expected data structure. This is useful for automating contract management workflows, such as setting up retainers for clients or projects directly from n8n workflows.

Properties

Name Meaning
Fields Defines the fields and their values to map when creating or updating a contract retainer. This property uses a resource mapper to specify which contract retainer fields to populate.

Output

JSON

  • id - The unique identifier of the created contract retainer.
  • fields - The data fields of the created contract retainer as returned by the Autotask API.
  • rawResponse - The full raw response from the Autotask API for the create operation.

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 about unsupported resource, ensure the resource parameter is set to 'contractRetainer'.
  • Mapping errors can occur if required fields are missing or incorrectly mapped; verify the field mappings in the 'Fields' property.
  • Authentication errors indicate issues with the Autotask API credentials; check that the credentials are valid and have sufficient permissions.
  • API rate limits or network issues may cause request failures; retry or check network connectivity.
