Integrations involve connecting different systems, applications, or data sources to work together seamlessly, enabling the exchange of information and automation of processes across an organization.
Within ServiceNow, integrations link the Now Platform with external systems or sources, facilitating information exchange and extending ServiceNow's capabilities. These integrations can be achieved through various methods, including REST and SOAP APIs, IntegrationHub, and the use of the MID Server for secure communication with on-premises systems.
A business might need to integrate ServiceNow with other systems to enhance collaboration between departments, automate workflows, and ensure data consistency across platforms. For example, integrating ServiceNow with development tools like Jira allows for seamless coordination between IT service management and software development teams.

ServiceNow's IntegrationHub is a feature that enables organizations to connect the ServiceNow platform with external applications and systems seamlessly. It offers a library of pre-built connectors, known as "spokes," for popular services, facilitating quick and efficient integrations. Designed with a low-code approach, IntegrationHub allows users to create and manage integrations without extensive coding knowledge, promoting automation and streamlined workflows across various platforms.
ServiceNow offers a range of APIs and integration tools that facilitate automation and connectivity between ServiceNow and other enterprise systems. These tools support various integration methods, including REST, SOAP, and JDBC, allowing for flexible and scalable solutions.
Service Graph Connectors are predefined integrations developed by ServiceNow and its partners to seamlessly import data from third-party sources into the ServiceNow Configuration Management Database (CMDB). These connectors ensure data accuracy and consistency by leveraging the Identification and Reconciliation Engine (IRE), which helps prevent issues like duplicate configuration items (CIs) and misclassifications. By adhering to ServiceNow's Common Service Data Model (CSDM), Service Graph Connectors facilitate a unified and reliable view of an organization's IT infrastructure.
