Harvest Client Creator

Create a Harvest client with a configured name and return its complete record.

Setup

Set the name in Set client name. In Create Harvest client, select a Harvest administrator account and allow Provider API access. The connection manages its token and Harvest account ID. Provider API permission is separate from individual Action permissions. Run manually after setup.

In n8n, select Harvest credentials in Harvest, choose the destination account ID and replace the client name. Use an administrator account that can create clients.

The workflow sends one client creation request. It accepts the completed HTTP 201 response and returns the complete client record. The client’s other properties use Harvest defaults.

Each manual run creates another client. There is no lookup, upsert or duplicate detection. Errors and unexpected responses stop the workflow without a retry or rollback. If a write times out, check Harvest before running it again.

Changes to the source

• Replace the empty client name and account selection with setup placeholders.
• In Open Flow, use the Harvest Provider API for client creation, which has no equivalent Action in the current catalog.
• Validate the completed response and expose the created client.
