Contract Exclusion Sets → Create

AI-generated

Overview

This node integrates with the Autotask REST API to create a new Contract Exclusion Set. Contract Exclusion Sets are used to define groups of exclusions that can be applied to contracts, such as excluding certain billing codes, roles, or work types from contract calculations. This operation is beneficial for users who want to automate the management of contract exclusions within their Autotask environment, ensuring consistent application of exclusion rules. For example, a user can create a Contract Exclusion Set to exclude specific billing codes from being billed under certain contracts automatically.

Properties

Name Meaning
Fields Defines the fields and their values to map when creating the Contract Exclusion Set. This property uses a resource mapper to allow users to specify which fields to set and their corresponding values.

Output

JSON

  • id - The unique identifier of the created Contract Exclusion Set.
  • name - The name of the Contract Exclusion Set.
  • description - A description of the Contract Exclusion Set.
  • exclusions - Details of the exclusions included in the set, such as excluded billing codes, roles, or work types.

Dependencies

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

Troubleshooting

  • Error: 'Resource contractExclusionSets is not supported' - Ensure the resource parameter is correctly set to 'contractExclusionSets'.
  • Error related to authentication - Verify that the Autotask API credentials are correctly configured and have sufficient permissions.
  • Validation errors on fields - Check that all required fields in the 'Fields' property are correctly mapped and valid according to Autotask API specifications.
  • Network or API errors - Confirm network connectivity and that the Autotask API endpoint is reachable.
