ServiceNow Integration Hub

ServiceNow Integration Hub is a method of automation and integration solution that interfaces with external platforms through established protocols. It allows users to construct integrations with other systems by including stages in Flow Designer processes. Spokes connect Integration Hub to other systems and can execute simple activities with the underlying system. Using "Spokes," Integration Hub is able to interact with third-party APIs such as Slack, Teams, CI/CD, Ansible, Git, and Docker. There are more than 50 hubs accessible.

ServiceNow Integration Hub reduces the strain on development teams by enabling them to focus on business reasoning instead of the process of integration. Integration Hub is a subscription-based service that must be installed in addition to Flow Designer. Integration Hub, in other words, is a Flow Designer advancement that allows for integrations with external APIs.

It consists of various pre-built, application-specific sets of automation actions and sub-flows, known as Spokes, that are designed to simplify and accelerate process automation. Spokes are bundled sets of actions that you can use to help you establish the integrations you need to communicate with an external system. It leverages spokes to promote this communication. These ServiceNow integration hub spokes enable you to send messages and records to services like Microsoft Teams Spoke and Slack.

The ServiceNow Integration Hub allows administrators, business process owners, and programmers to develop and manage integrations in one location. Its preconfigured application integrations streamline common business procedures, allowing organizations to spend time and resources on more mission-critical activities.

Multiple ServiceNow Platform automation capabilities are consolidated into a single environment by Integration Hub, allowing process owners and developers to create and visualize business processes and integrations from a single interface.
