Summary

Creates a new resource (e.g., a person or asset) in eRS from a resource type, name and start date, with optional user-defined fields set for that type.

Inputs

  • authentication — Credential type: OAuth2 (default, recommended) or Access Token.
  • resource_type_id (required) — The eRS resource type, chosen from a list loaded from your account or given as an ID via expression. It determines which user-defined fields are offered.
  • first_name (required) — Name of the new resource (labelled 'Resource Name').
  • start_date (required) — Start date of the resource, as a date-time.
  • mandatoryFields — Repeatable list of the type's required user-defined fields. Each entry picks a field and gives a value. The value input matches the field type: boolean, date, number, rich text, text, single select or multi-select.
  • otherFields — Repeatable list of the type's optional user-defined fields. It uses the same field and value structure as Mandatory Fields.
  • requestOptions — Request settings: batching (items per batch, default 50, and interval in ms, default 1000), ignore SSL issues, proxy URL, and timeout (default 10000 ms).

Output shape

Presumably the newly created resource record returned by the eRS API, one output item per input item.

The source pack contains only signature-level stubs, so the exact request and response shape could not be verified. The Mandatory Fields and Other Fields lists appear only after a resource type is selected.

Examples

Example 1: Onboard a new hire as a resource in eRS from an HR trigger.

Select the resource type, set Resource Name to the employee's name and Start Date to the hire date. Add any required user-defined fields under Mandatory Fields.

Example 2: Bulk-create resources from a spreadsheet without overloading the API.

Map the name and date columns by expression. In Request Options, set Batching to 20 items per batch with a 2000 ms interval.
