Inbound REST message via MID Server

Abbey2 · ‎01-29-2021

In ServiceNow, i'm aware i can send outbound REST request via a MID Server to resources within my local network.

Is it possible to receive REST messages from local resources to my mid server, rather than pointing the endpoint directly to the instance staging table or scripted endpoint. If yes, how is that achievable, how do i define the mid server endpoint, and how do i process the message once it gets to the instance.

Thanks.

Hi Abbey

I'm afraid MID servers cannot be used for incoming requests. But inbound requests from a third-party tool would be secure because they are connected to the ServiceNow instance via SSL.

A MID server is typically used for communication with the customer's infrastructure (outbound), which the ServiceNow instance cannot access directly.

Kind regards

Maik

Hi,

I used this one and did some changes here:
