Practical Requirements
- Client ID: Customers must obtain a Client ID from Lenovo, typically through their Lenovo sales or service representative, to authenticate API access.
- No Additional Plugin Dependencies: Lenovo Spoke functions independently without requiring other plugins.
- Connection Setup: Customers must create connection and credential records within ServiceNow to establish secure authentication with Lenovo’s API.

You should have the Client ID provided by Lenovo. If you don’t have one, contact your organization's Lenovo sales or service representative.
Spoke dependencies
The Lenovo spoke doesn't have a dependency on any other plugin.
Spoke actions
The Lenovo spoke provides action to automate downloading asset warranty information when events occur in your ServiceNow instance. Available action is as follows:
| Action | Description |
|---|---|
| Download Asset Warranty | Connect to the Lenovo Warranty API to download asset warranty information. |
Connection and credential alias requirements
Integration Hub uses aliases to manage connection and credential information, and OAuth credentials. Using an alias eliminates the need to configure multiple credentials and connection information profiles when using multiple environments. If the connection or credential information changes, you don't need to update any actions that use the connection.
To use the actions in the Lenovo spoke, you must create a connection and credential record to authenticate and connect to Lenovo. For more information, see Create a connection and credential for Lenovo spoke
