    Service Bridge for Providers application
    Enable technology providers to connect to their consumers and partners using the ServiceNow AI Platform®.
    Service Bridge for Consumers application
    Enable consumers to connect and track service requests with their providers and partners who utilize the ServiceNow AI Platform®.
    Register a Service Bridge consumer
    Use the simplified onboarding process for providers and consumers. Providers can create a registration task, and consumers can set up and establish a connection to the provider's instance on their own.

    The Transform framework allows you to do the following:
    • Enable consumers to use the transform framework on their ServiceNow instances.
    • Allow providers to create a default transform definition that can be applied globally to all consumer instances that match the configuration.
    • Set and transform virtual fields with the help of virtual transforms.
    Using remote tasks to fulfill consumer requests
    While creating remote task definitions, you can:
    • Create virtual mappings for inbound and outbound fields.
    • Streamline attachment handling by automatically copying attachments from remote tasks to the parent record.
    • Use the expanded range of field types that are available for inbound and outbound mapping in remote tasks for providers.
    • Use new Connect and Disconnect actions provided on remote tasks to start or stop connections with providers.
    • Use a scratchpad for Service Bridge tasks, enabling workflows to exchange data between instances.
    Remote record producers in Service Bridge
    • Text indexing for consumer remote record producers has been added to make them discoverable in virtual agent and global search.
    • Variables and other associated catalog items can be deleted directly on consumer instances.
    On-premise support
    Provide support for Service Bridge on-premise instances. To use Service Bridge with on-premise instances, ports must be open for RESTful Web Services.
