How to check and fix broken links?

[sifynm]

                  Is there a way to check and fix a broken link? How to detect the same and automatically fix it using a script dynamically? I have referred to some of the documentations here https://community.servicenow.com/thread/177341?q=Broken%20links   but was not of much help as it is not answered. Is there a way I can schedule a job to do a daily, weekly and monthly check and generate a report or trigger an alert when there is a broken link found.

Hi Manjunath,

What do you mean exactly by broken link. Can you explain it more and what is required?

Dear Mr. Ankur Bawiskar,

                  Just include any website link here W3C Link Checker   and you will come to know the results. Likewise, I want it on ServiceNow and the remaining is as mentioned in the query above. Hope, this I am sure makes it more specific. This I also believe is like answering my own question.

That only works for publicly-accessible links, not private ones (e.g.: an instance)... right?

Dave,

              For me it works fine and serves the purpose by generating a report of the URL that is specified in the link checker. It's a way of optimizing your work by not checking or clicking individual links on the website. This is what I understand to do and would like to make it work on ServiceNow for which I require some assistance or help.

Thank you,
