Overview

This node enables creating a new Contract in the Autotask system by mapping user-defined input fields to the contract resource's properties. It is useful for automating contract creation workflows, such as generating contracts from form submissions or integrating contract data from other systems.

Properties

Name Meaning
Fields Defines the specific contract fields and their values to be set when creating the contract. This uses a resource mapper to allow flexible field mapping and supports automatic mapping of fields.

Output

JSON

  • id - The unique identifier of the created contract in Autotask.
  • contractNumber - The contract number assigned to the newly created contract.
  • name - The name of the created contract.
  • status - The current status of the created contract.
  • startDate - The start date of the contract.
  • endDate - The end date of the contract.
  • otherProperties - Additional contract properties as returned by the Autotask API.

Dependencies

  • Requires an Autotask API credential for authentication to the Autotask REST API.

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure that all required contract fields are provided in the 'Fields' mapping; missing mandatory fields may cause API errors.
  • Verify that the Autotask API credentials are valid and have sufficient permissions to create contracts.
  • If the API returns validation errors, check the field formats and values against Autotask's contract resource requirements.
  • Network or connectivity issues may cause request failures; ensure the node can reach the Autotask API endpoint.
