Trigger Outbound REST API when a record is inserted in a table

[Benjamin Bollae]

Hello from a ServiceNow newbee !

I have a custom table in ServiceNow and I need to trigger an outbound REST API when a record is inserted or updated. I m very familiar with doing it in Salesforce with apex triggers but I can't find a step by step guide for ServiceNow.

Could you please help me to get through this? 

Thanks very much

I would suggest using Flow designer for this.  Check out community article 'Outbound REST integration using flow designer'.

Hi,

You can use Async insert/update business rule and invoke the API

OR

you can use flow designer for this
