# Create Correlation action

# Create Correlation action {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Brazil  
Updated September 10, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
Create a correlation between a record on the local instance and a record on a remote instance. A correlation identifies a remote system and a local record to synchronize. Each instance maintains a copy of the correlation, which contains a set of shared correlation identifiers. Remote Process Sync actions and flows use the correlation identifiers to synchronize records.

## Roles and availability {#create-correlation-action__section_lqz_vvn_mnb}

Available as a ServiceNow Core
Remote Process Sync action.{#create-correlation-action__action-subcategory}

Subscription requirements
:   This action requires an Integration Hub subscription. For more information, see [Request Integration Hub](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/1cjQKW5ssBIKAcJMt12j6w "ServiceNow Integration Hub enables you to build reusable integrations with third-party systems and call them from anywhere in the ServiceNow AI Platform. For example, you can call external systems using integration APIs from the Action Designer Script step or run the Script step on the ServiceNow MID Server. You can also activate protocol steps such as REST, SOAP, and PowerShell.") and [Legal schedules - IntegrationHub overview](https://www.servicenow.com/content/dam/servicenow-assets/public/en-us/doc-type/legal/snc-addendum-integrationhub.pdf).

## Inputs {#create-correlation-action__section-inputs}

Provide a value for each input that your action needs. To add
dynamic values, you can also drag and drop pills from the Data panel or select them from the
pill picker.{#create-correlation-action__inputs-description}

Remote Correlation ID
:   Data type: String

    Globally unique ID of a correlation on a remote instance you are synchronizing
    processes with. This ID uniquely identifies the correlation for outbound
    transactions.

Local Correlation ID
:   Data type: String

    Globally unique ID of a correlation on the local instance you are synchronizing
    processes with. This ID uniquely identifies the correlation for inbound
    transactions.

Remote System
:   Data type: Record

    Reference to the Process Sync Remote System record for the remote instance you are
    synchronizing processes with. This record identifies the instance that receives
    outbound synchronization changes or that sent inbound synchronization
    changes.

Local Record
:   Data type: Record

    Reference to a record on the local instance you are synchronizing with another
    instance. The data pill contains all the field values for the specified record. For
    example, a case record on the local instance.

## Outputs {#create-correlation-action__section-outputs}

These outputs appear in the Data panel. You can use them as inputs
elsewhere in your flow.{#create-correlation-action__outputs-description}

Correlation Detail
:   Data type: Object

    Object containing correlation
    information about a record. The object identifies the local and remote correlation IDs
    associated with a local record.

Status
:   Data type: String

    Status code returned by the action.
    {#create-correlation-action__status2-ph}

Error
:   Data type: String
