The Korbyt ServiceNow data adapter connects to a ServiceNow report endpoint (URL) that provides an exportable CSV file that Korbyt will use to build a Data Table of usable information within Korbyt.
The Basics
The Korbyt data adapter utilizes customer-provided ServiceNow information to create an authenticated connection.
Once authenticated, the data adapter downloads the report and updates the data adapter table in Korbyt.
Data is then available for further data transformation and display on connected digital signage or desktop endpoints.
Once running, the Korbyt Data Adapter will periodically check the report endpoint in ServiceNow and bring the data into Korbyt.
ServiceNow Pre-requisites and Requirements
