ServiceNow credentials

You can use these credentials to authenticate the following nodes:

Prerequisites

Create a ServiceNow developer account.

Supported authentication methods

  • Basic auth

  • OAuth2

Using basic auth

To configure this credential, you’ll need:

  • A User name: Enter your ServiceNow username.

  • A Password: Enter your ServiceNow password.

  • A Subdomain: The subdomain for your servicenow instance is in your instance URL: https://<subdomain>.service-now.com/. For example, if the full URL is https://dev99890.service-now.com, then the subdomain is dev99890.

Using OAuth2

To configure this credential, you’ll need:

  • A Client ID: Generated once you register a new app.

  • A Client Secret: Generated once you register a new app.

  • A Subdomain: The subdomain for your servicenow instance is in your instance URL: https://<subdomain>.service-now.com/. For example, if the full URL is https://dev99890.service-now.com, then the subdomain is dev99890.

To generate your Client ID and Client Secret, register a new app in System OAuth > Application Registry > New > Create an OAuth API endpoint for external clients. Use these settings for your app:

  • Copy the Client ID and add it to your n8n credential.

  • Enter a Client Secret or leave it blank to automatically generate a random secret. Add this secret to your n8n credential.

  • Copy the n8n OAuth Redirect URL and add it as a Redirect URL.
