Suppose you want to sync incidents between ServiceNow in different business groups. Do you keep polling the data? Or do you keep pushing new data?
How about syncing in both directions?

We are doing a bidirectional integration with one of our vendors user REST API. On our side when an incident it put in a certain group it triggers a us to create an incident in there ServiceNow instance and then they send us there incident number so we create a link. So any updates on either side will come thought. In reverse they have a trigger on their side that will create ticket in our ServiceNow Instance and we send them our incident number.

Thanks for that.
Do you update both incidents if there are changes?

Yes, any change one one instance will update the ticket in the other instance.
