Set Up OAuth

Complete the Set up OAuth steps in the ServiceNow documentation. While the documented steps are likely the same across all ServiceNow platform regions, it's recommended that you follow the steps for your specific region in case there are differences (e.g., Rome, San Diego, etc.)

For reference, see below how we set up OAuth for our examples.

Note: If you already set up OAuth for your ServiceNow instance, take note of the Client Id and Client Secret assigned to your application registry and proceed to the Create Credential Assets step.

Sign in to your ServiceNow instance (e.g., https://dev74293.service-now.com/login).
Go to System Definitions > Plugins and verify the OAuth plugin Status is set to Active.
Go to System OAuth > Application Registry and click New.
- When asked What kind of OAuth application?, click Create an OAuth API endpoint for external clients.
Enter a Name for your application (e.g. UiPathQuickstart) and click Submit (if successful, you are redirected back to your Application Registries list).
In the Application Registries list, find your new application and click on its Name to open the details page.
Click on the lock icon next to Client Secret to show the value.
Take note of the Client Id and Client Secret values (you need these in the ServiceNow Scope activity).
