Overview

This node interacts with Kaseya's Autotask PSA REST API to perform various operations on different resources. Specifically, for the 'Resource' resource and the 'Count' operation, it counts the number of resource records that match specified criteria. This is useful for scenarios where you need to get the total count of resources, such as employees or assets, in your Autotask system without retrieving all the data.

Use Case Examples

  1. Count the total number of resources in the system to monitor workforce size.
  2. Get the count of resources that meet certain filter criteria for reporting or automation triggers.

Properties

Name Meaning
Fields Fields to map for the count operation, allowing selection and mapping of specific resource fields to include in the count.

Output

JSON

  • count - The total number of resource records matching the count criteria.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for Kaseya's Autotask PSA REST API authentication.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues include authentication failures due to incorrect API credentials or zone configuration. Verify the API key and zone settings in the credentials.
  • If the count operation returns zero unexpectedly, check the filter criteria or fields mapping to ensure they are correctly set.
  • API rate limits may cause errors; the node attempts to initialize a rate tracker to handle this, but excessive requests may still fail.
