Overview

This node enables users to create a new Project Phase within the Autotask system via its REST API. It is useful for project management automation where phases of a project need to be programmatically added, such as when setting up new projects or updating project workflows. For example, a user can automate the creation of project phases like 'Planning', 'Execution', and 'Closure' based on predefined templates or triggers in their workflow.

Properties

Name Meaning
Fields Defines the specific fields and their values to set when creating the Project Phase. This property uses a resource mapper to allow users to map input data to the appropriate fields of the Project Phase resource.

Output

JSON

  • id - The unique identifier of the newly created Project Phase.
  • name - The name of the Project Phase as created.
  • startDate - The start date of the Project Phase.
  • endDate - The end date of the Project Phase.
  • status - The current status of the Project Phase.
  • additionalProperties - Any other fields returned by the Autotask API related to the created Project Phase.

Dependencies

  • Requires an Autotask API credential (API key or token) to authenticate requests to the Autotask REST API.

Troubleshooting

  • If the node fails with authentication errors, verify that the Autotask API credentials are correctly configured and have sufficient permissions.
  • Validation errors may occur if required fields for the Project Phase are missing or incorrectly mapped; ensure all mandatory fields are provided.
  • Network or API errors can happen if the Autotask service is unreachable; check network connectivity and Autotask service status.
  • If the resource or operation is not supported error appears, confirm that the node's resource is set to 'phase' and operation to 'create'.
