Overview

This node interacts with the Flex Platform API to perform various operations on different resources such as Assignments, Invoices, and Custom API calls. Specifically, for the 'Assignments' resource with the 'Create (Post)' operation, it allows users to create new assignment items by specifying the model type (e.g., Timesheet, Timesheet Hours, Placements) and providing necessary data fields. This node is useful for automating the creation of assignment records in the Flex Platform, such as adding new timesheets or placements programmatically.

Use Case Examples

1. Creating a new timesheet assignment by specifying the model as 'Timesheet' and providing relevant data fields.
2. Adding a new placement assignment by selecting the 'Placements' model and sending the required information.

Properties

Output

JSON

• json - The JSON response from the Flex Platform API representing the created assignment item.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for Flex Platform API authentication.

Troubleshooting

• Common issues include authentication failures due to invalid or expired API tokens. Ensure the API key credential is correctly configured.
• Errors in the JSON body or missing required fields can cause the API to reject the request. Verify that all required fields for the selected model are provided.
• If the 'Custom Filter JSON' or other JSON inputs are malformed, the node will throw a parsing error. Use valid JSON with double quotes.
