Autotask

How to get your Autotask API key and connect it to Nova Admin.

Connect with an Autotask API user. Requests authenticate with ApiIntegrationCode, UserName, and Secret headers against your API zone base URL.

Prerequisites

Steps

  1. In Autotask, create or select an API User (not an interactive employee login)
  2. Create an API Tracking Identifier and copy its key — this is the API Integration Code
  3. Look up your zone URL (or use Get Zone after saving a username): https://webservices.autotask.net/atservicesrest/v1.0/zoneInformation?user={username}
  4. Enter the zone base (e.g. https://webservices2.autotask.net/atservicesrest), API Integration Code, username, and secret

Credential fields

FieldRequiredDescription
Zone URLYesstring (e.g. https://webservices2.autotask.net/atservicesrest)
API Integration CodeYesstring (e.g. Your Autotask API tracking identifier)
UsernameYesstring (e.g. api@example.com)
SecretYesSecret — stored encrypted, never exposed. (e.g. API user secret)

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid credentials: verify the key was copied in full with no trailing spaces.
  • Key not working: check that your Autotask account has API access enabled and billing is active if required.
  • Need help?: refer to the Autotask documentation.
