ServiceNow modules and their fields
When you configure ServiceNow modules, Workfront Fusion displays the fields listed below. Along with these, additional ServiceNow fields might display, depending on factors such as your access level in the app or service. A bolded title in a module indicates a required field.
If you see the map button above a field or function, you can use it to set variables and functions for that field. For more information, see Map information from one module to another in ۶Ƶ Workfront Fusion.
Watch records
This trigger module activates a scenario when a record is created or updated.
Custom API Call
This action module lets you make a custom authenticated call to the ServiceNow API. This way, you can create a data flow automation that can’t be accomplished by the other ServiceNow modules.
When you are configuring this module, the following fields display.
Select the HTTP request method you need to configure the API call. For more information, see HTTP request methods in ۶Ƶ Workfront Fusion.
Type the address on the web server that you want the module to interact with.
You can type a relative URL, which means that you don't have to include the protocol (such as http://) at the beginning. This suggests to the web server that the interaction is occurring on the server.
For example: /api/conversations.create
Add the headers of the request in the form of a standard JSON object.
For example, {"Content-type":"application/json"}
Add the query for the API call in the form of a standard JSON object.
For example: {"name":"something-urgent"}
Add the body content for the API call in the form of a standard JSON object.
Note:
When using conditional statements such as if in your JSON, put the quotation marks outside of the conditional statement.
