This blog entry is part two of a three-part series where we will ultimately build a Cloud to Cloud (C2C) integration between Service Now and Slack, utilizing Event-Driven triggers to execute an automated orchestration Flow.

Integrating Axway Application Integration and Slack

In this blog entry, I will cover how to:

  1. Create a Slack Developer Account.
  2. Use the Axway Integration Builder (IB) iPaaS to integrate and manage your Slack instance.
  3. Do some basic initial testing of the integration against the Slack REST APIs.

What is Slack?

Slack is a cloud-based SaaS solution for instance messaging. It’s frequently used by engineering and development teams to discuss ongoing topics and projects. It is similar to other enterprise messaging tools such as Microsoft Teams, Skype for Business and so on. It is widely used due to its easy to use REST APIs, which allow for integration into many other cloud solutions.

Conclusion

At this point, you should have a working Slack integration with Axway Application Integration through our Integration Builder solution. In my next and final blog post of this series, I will show you how to use the Event Polling we set up the first Service Now blog entry to automate alerting to an enterprise messaging system, such as Slack, to enable real-time notifications of new Incidents being opened in Service Now. The value here is that a resource does not need to keep refreshing the Service Now dashboard all day long to track new Incidents.

This functionality could also be used to integrate the Service Now Incidents API into any other application you choose. Stay tuned, enjoy and reach out if you have any questions, comments or concerns with this configuration!
