Hello all,

How can I get ServiceNow to get an image from the internet and store it in the sys_attachment table?

Hi, You can simply fire a rest API (get) call to image url and using saveResponseBodyAsAttachment(String tableName, String recordSysId, String fileName) you can attach to any record.

Thank you. Your reply helped me to find this example, which I eventually used:

I also discovered that it can be done by the flow designer:

REST action --> Save as Attachment in the response handler
