How to Create an import set api using SOAP?

[Akash4 · Accepted solution]

Hi Vansh,

As a first step you can create a staging table, or use existing table (System Import Sets > Load Data > Create Table > u_soap_staging_table, add any relevant fields of your interest ex: u_name, u_email, u_phone)

Secondly, create a SOAP Message (in System Web Services), Give a name and an Endpoint URL* - something like https://<instance>.service-now.com/u_soap_staging_table.do?SOAP

Create child within SOAP Message > SOAP Action > New. Add an XML sample data (shown below), this will create a record in staging table.

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
                  xmlns:urn="urn:u_soap_staging_table">
   <soapenv:Header/>
   <soapenv:Body>
      <urn:insert>
         <u_name>Vansh Agarwal</u_name>
         <u_email>vansh.agar@example.com</u_email>
         <u_phone>12121212</u_phone>
      </urn:insert>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

Finally, validate your testing using external tool like - Postman using Endpoint and an XML data like above.
