Hi Community.
My application would like to create customer_contact record instead of sys_user record with SCIM. I customize the SCIM User ETL Definition without success. I am thinking of deleting the existing RTE mapping between scim_user and user etl entities, and create a new RTE mapping for scim_user and contact etl entities which I have yet to create.
Before I do this, can you advise if this best solution or what approach should I take instead?
Thank you

SCIM is supported by service-now
For reference attributes, the recommended approach is to pass a flat/resolvable value through SCIM and resolve it to the ServiceNow reference (sys_id) through ETL/transform logic.
