How do I start integrating Freshdesk with ServiceNow?

To begin the integration of Freshdesk with ServiceNow, you'll first need to have active accounts on both platforms.

This typically involves setting up an HTTP listener in ServiceNow that can accept incoming requests from Freshdesk.

How do we ensure data consistency between the two platforms during integration?
