At K23, ServiceNow demo multiple product using REST integration by using Flow Designer (Integration hub) to automate their fulfillment process like: 

  • Order the coffee through the Barista Coffee app .
  • Order the cocktail drink to auto fulfill your cocktail.

I would like to create two blogs to show how Flow Designer HR integration can make automated business transaction for HR case

  •  Part 1 - REST Integration using Flow Designer Part 1 - HR Case Creation
  •  Part 2 - REST Integration using Flow Designer Part 2 - Update HR Case (update HR case created in Part 1)

This blog will only focus on Part 1 in more detail steps.  I will have part 2 posted in my coming blog.

Use Case:

When a user creates an HR case in the source system, the same HR case shall be created in the target system through Rest integration.

 

Activate Integration Hub plugins

Activates the ServiceNow IntegrationHub Starter Pack Installer plugin (com.glide.hub.integrations) on Personal Developer (Source instance).

 

Create the script REST API in the target system

Please create the scripted Rest API in your target PDI
