Configuration Item Category UDF Association → Create

AI-generated

Overview

This node operation creates a new Configuration Item Category UDF (User Defined Field) Association in Kaseya's Autotask PSA system. It is useful for automating the management of custom fields linked to configuration item categories, allowing users to programmatically define and associate additional metadata fields with configuration item categories.

Use Case Examples

  1. Automatically create a new UDF association for a configuration item category when onboarding new assets.
  2. Integrate with other systems to dynamically update configuration item category UDF associations based on external data.

Properties

Name Meaning
Configuration Item Category ID The ID of the configuration item category to which the UDF association will be linked.
Dry Run If enabled, the node returns a preview of the request without executing it, useful for testing and validation.
Fields The fields to map for the UDF association, allowing detailed specification of the data to be associated with the configuration item category.

Output

JSON

  • id - The unique identifier of the created Configuration Item Category UDF Association.
  • configurationItemCategoryID - The ID of the configuration item category associated with the UDF.
  • fieldsToMap - The mapped fields included in the UDF association.

Dependencies

  • Kaseya Autotask PSA REST API
  • An API key credential for authentication

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the Configuration Item Category ID is valid and exists in Autotask before creating the association.
  • If Dry Run is enabled, no changes will be made; disable it to perform actual creation.
  • Check API credentials and permissions if the operation fails due to authentication errors.
  • Validate the fields mapping format to avoid request errors.
