Overview

This node interacts with the Autotask REST API to update a specific Resource entity identified by its Resource ID. It allows users to specify which fields of the Resource to update by mapping input data to the corresponding Autotask fields. This is useful for automating updates to resources such as employees, assets, or other entities managed within Autotask, enabling integration with other systems or workflows that modify resource data.

Properties

Name Meaning
Resource ID The unique identifier of the Resource entity to update. This is required to specify which resource record will be modified.
Fields A mapping configuration that defines which fields of the Resource should be updated and their new values. It supports defining fields manually or using automatic mapping features to align input data with Autotask resource fields.

Output

JSON

  • id - The unique identifier of the updated Resource entity.
  • fields - An object containing the updated fields and their new values as stored in Autotask.
  • success - Boolean indicating whether the update operation was successful.

Dependencies

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

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the provided Resource ID exists in Autotask; otherwise, the update will fail with a 'Resource not found' error.
  • Verify that the fields mapped in 'Fields' are valid and allowed to be updated for the Resource entity to avoid validation errors from the API.
  • Check that the API credentials are correctly configured and have sufficient permissions to perform update operations on the Resource entity.
  • If the node throws an error about unsupported resource, confirm that the 'Resource' parameter is set to 'resource' and the operation is 'update'.
  • Network or API rate limiting issues may cause failures; retry or check API usage limits if encountering intermittent errors.
