Hi @ayanm ,

You can use Azure Blob Storage Spoke: ServiceNow provides a pre-built "spoke" for Azure Blob Storage. This spoke handles the complexities of authentication and communication with Azure.

 

1. Install and Configure

  • Azure Blob Storage Spoke: Make sure it's installed in your ServiceNow instance.
  • Connection Record: In IntegrationHub, set up a connection to your Azure Storage account. You'll need:
    • Connection String: This is essential for authentication.
    • Storage Account Name: The name of your Azure Storage account.
    • Container Name: The name of the container within your storage where you want to store the CSV files.

2. Build the Automated Flow in Flow Designer

  • Trigger:
    • Scheduled Job: Set it to run daily, weekly, or at any other interval you need.
  • Actions:
    • Look Up Records: Use a "Look Up Records" action to query the Incident table.
      • Filter: Add filters if you only want to export specific incidents (e.g., incidents resolved in the last 24 hours, incidents with a certain priority).
    • Transform Data to CSV: Use a "Transform to CSV" action to convert the incident data into CSV format.
    • Azure Blob Storage Spoke - "Upload File": This action sends the CSV file to your Azure Storage account.
      • Connection Alias: Select the connection alias you created in step 1.
      • File Name: Specify a name for the CSV file (e.g., "incidents_YYYYMMDD.csv"). You can use dynamic date values in the file name.
      • File Content: Map the output of the "Transform to CSV" action to this input.

Hope this approach helps.

 

Kind Regards,

Swarnadeep Nandy
