Summary

Creates a new inventory item in Autotask by sending a JSON payload to the InventoryItems endpoint.

Inputs

  • payloadJson (required) — Body for creating the inventory item. Must contain all required fields defined by the Autotask API. See the Autotask Swagger docs for required fields.
  • requestOptions — Header Overrides collection. Includes Impersonation Resource ID to override the credential's default for this request.

Output shape

a single record (the created inventory item object)

The returned object includes the ID of the newly created item. The node merges the payload with headers; empty values are removed before sending.

Examples

Example 1: Create a new inventory item with a specific name and quantity.

Set Payload (JSON) to {"name": "Office Chair", "quantity": 10}. Leave Impersonation Resource ID empty to use the credential default.

Example 2: Create an inventory item under a specific resource's impersonation context.

Set Payload (JSON) to {"name": "Project Supplies"}. In Header Overrides, set Impersonation Resource ID to 12345.
