Note:
- Time zone that is considered in the spoke actions, is same as the time zone of your ServiceNow instance.
- Based on your Gremlin license, if you don't have access to certain Gremlin functionality, you can't use the associated spoke actions in your ServiceNow instance as well.
- For some arguments that take
TrueorFalseas input, the actual value that the Gremlin platform considers, might be different from the value you have provided.
Connection and credential alias requirements
Integration Hub uses aliases to manage connection and credential information, and OAuth credentials. Using an alias eliminates the need to configure multiple credentials and connection information profiles when using multiple environments. If the connection or credential information changes, you don't need to update any actions that use the connection.
For information about setting up the spoke, see Create Connection and Credential record for the Gremlin spoke.
