Frequently Asked Questions about AWS Lambda + ServiceNow integrations

New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with AWS Lambda and ServiceNow

How can I connect AWS Lambda to ServiceNow?

To connect AWS Lambda to ServiceNow, you'll need to create a custom integration using APIs. First, set up your AWS environment and ServiceNow instance permissions. Then, use the AWS SDK for Python (Boto3) or another relevant SDK to call ServiceNow REST APIs from your Lambda functions.

What types of triggers can I use in AWS Lambda for ServiceNow tasks?

AWS Lambda supports various triggers such as S3 bucket events, DynamoDB table updates, SNS notifications, and CloudWatch events. You can configure these triggers in the AWS console or through Infrastructure as Code tools like CloudFormation or Terraform.

Can we use ServiceNow as a trigger for AWS Lambda?

ServiceNow itself doesn't directly trigger AWS Lambda functions. However, you can utilize ServiceNow Workflow or Scripted REST APIs to perform actions that invoke a webhook handled by an API Gateway connected to your AWS Lambda functions.

How do we handle authentication between AWS Lambda and ServiceNow?

Authentication between AWS Lambda and ServiceNow is typically managed using OAuth 2.0 or basic authentication. You'll need to generate access tokens for OAuth or set up user credentials that your Lambda function will use when making API calls to ServiceNow.

Are there any limitations when integrating AWS Lambda with ServiceNow?

When integrating these services, consider the rate limits imposed by ServiceNow's API and the execution timeout limit of 15 minutes per Lambda invocation. Planning your architecture to account for these limitations is crucial for seamless operation.

What actions can be performed on ServiceNow through an AWS Lambda function?

AWS Lambda functions can perform various actions on a ServiceNow instance such as creating incidents, updating records, querying tables and more by utilizing the available REST API endpoints provided by the instance.

How do we ensure secure data transmission between our applications?

To ensure secure data transmission between our applications, it's important to use HTTPS endpoints and implement encryption both in transit and at rest for any data exchanged between AWS services and your ServiceNow instance.
