    This spoke requires an Integration Hub subscription and a custom app created within Google Cloud Platform. It supports Google Cloud Functions API version v1 and may be compatible with later versions.

    Key Features

    • Function Management: Create, update, delete, and retrieve Google Cloud Functions. Actions include creating functions for specific events or HTTP requests, managing source code upload and download URLs, and handling IAM policies for access control.
    • Location Management: Retrieve lists of available Google Cloud locations for deploying functions.
    • Operation Management: Access details and lists of operations associated with Google Cloud Functions projects.
    • Connection and Credential Aliases: Integration Hub uses aliases to manage OAuth credentials and connection information, simplifying multi-environment setups and reducing maintenance when connection details change.

    Requirements and Dependencies

    • A custom Google Cloud Platform app is required for integration.
    • Dependent plugins must be installed for the spoke to function properly, including Google Identity and Access Spoke, Google Cloud VPC Access Spoke, Google Cloud Storage Spoke, and several ServiceNow IntegrationHub and Flow Designer plugins.
    • Some dependent plugins may require separate licenses if used outside this spoke's implementation.

    Practical Benefits for ServiceNow Customers

    By integrating Google Cloud Functions with ServiceNow, customers can automate cloud function lifecycle management within familiar workflows, improving responsiveness to events and reducing manual cloud operations. The spoke streamlines credential management across environments, ensuring secure and consistent connectivity. Customers can expect enhanced operational control and efficiency in managing serverless functions directly from the ServiceNow platform.

    Manage functions that are attached to events, using your Google Cloud Functions account from ServiceNow instance.

    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.
