ServiceNow (Certified) on Connect iPaaS

Connect iPaaS enables you to integrate ServiceNow with other SaaS and enterprise applications. You can build a workflow to manage records based on certain events in other applications. Conversely, you can perform actions on other applications based on changes in records in your ServiceNow account. There are two types of records for the ServiceNow application on Connect iPaaS:

Incident record: As the most popular entity in ServiceNow for IT Service Management, Connect iPaaS handles the record in the Incident table explicitly for the ease of use in both ServiceNow trigger and action node(s).

Record: This represents the general record in any table of your ServiceNow instance. Whenever you choose a trigger or action node which manages "Record", you will be asked to select specific web services (staging table) which is configured to map the data to the actual target table. You will ask your ServiceNow administrator to add new web services if needed.
