Important:

ServiceNow is a Dynamic API, meaning that custom tables and fields can be added and standard tables and fields can be removed and/or renamed. Any curation done on these APIs, therefore, will only work with standard implementations of ServiceNow. If, for instance, you've changed the incident table name and altered the fields in terms of names and/or added new required fields, you'll need to use the generic activities (Get Record, List All Records, Insert Record, Update Record, Delete Record) to interact successfully with your instance of ServiceNow.

Reach out to your ServiceNow administrator to determine what's necessary to interact with the resources for your use case.

ParameterDescriptionData Type

  • In API workflows, a single response object is returned as the output. Any required fields can be extracted directly from this object.
  • In RPA workflows, some output parameters may differ, but the necessary values can still be retrieved from the response object even if they are not explicitly exposed.
