Properties

ServiceNow password

Account password used with 'username' for Basic Auth or OAuth password grant

Short description

One-line summary of the incident.

ServiceNow username

Used with 'password' for Basic Auth or with client credentials for the OAuth password grant

Assets this task consumes as inputs or produces as outputs, for lineage tracking and the asset graph (Enterprise Edition). A flow declaring this property on a task is rejected in the open-source edition.

Definitions
assetFailureBehaviorstring
Possible Values
IGNOREFAILWARN

Asset failure behavior

Behavior applied to the task state when a declared asset fails to render, emit, or be persisted (e.g. a lock conflict): FAIL escalates it to FAILED, WARN (default) warns it if it would otherwise succeed, IGNORE leaves the state untouched.

enableAutobooleanstring

Whether to auto-register assets referenced dynamically at runtime that are not statically declared in inputs or outputs.

inputsarray

The assets consumed as inputs.

ServiceNow OAuth client ID

Required with 'clientSecret' plus 'username' and 'password' to switch requests to OAuth bearer tokens

ServiceNow OAuth client secret

Paired with 'clientId' when using the OAuth password grant

Additional fields

Any other incident fields, merged into the request body; the typed fields above take precedence.

ServiceNow domain

Subdomain used to build https://<domain>.service-now.com/; do not include protocol. Required unless uri is set.

Additional request headers

Optional key/value headers rendered per execution and sent with every call

Impact

1 (high), 2 (medium) or 3 (low); with the urgency it sets the incident priority. Leave blank to use the ServiceNow default.

Description

Detailed description of the incident.

HTTP client configuration

Advanced HTTP settings such as timeouts, proxies, and TLS; defaults to Kestra HTTP client values

Definitions
allowFailedbooleanstring
Defaultfalse

If true, allow a failed response code (response code >= 400)

allowedResponseCodesarray
SubTypeinteger

List of response code allowed for this request

auth

The authentication to use.

type*object
passwordstring

The password for HTTP basic authentication.

usernamestring

The username for HTTP basic authentication.

type*object
tokenstring

The token for bearer token authentication.

type*object
passwordstring

The password for HTTP Digest authentication.

usernamestring

The username for HTTP Digest authentication.

defaultCharsetstring
DefaultUTF-8

The default charset for the request.

enabledTcpExtendedKeepAlivebooleanstring
Defaulttrue

Whether to enable TCP Keep-Alive extended socket options (TCP_KEEPIDLE, TCP_KEEPINTERVAL, TCP_KEEPCOUNT).

Set to false when running on Windows workers, as these extended socket options are not supported by the Windows JDK and will cause connection failures.

followRedirectsbooleanstring
Defaulttrue

Whether redirects should be followed automatically.

logsarray
SubTypestring
Possible Values
REQUEST_HEADERSREQUEST_BODYRESPONSE_HEADERSRESPONSE_BODY

The enabled log.

proxy

The proxy configuration.

addressstring

The address of the proxy server.

passwordstring

The password for proxy authentication.

portintegerstring

The port of the proxy server.

typestring
DefaultDIRECT
Possible Values
DIRECTHTTPSOCKS

The type of proxy to use.

usernamestring

The username for proxy authentication.

Retry strategy for HTTP requests.

retry is disabled by default.

Retry with a fixed delay between attempts.

retryOnStatusCodesarray
SubTypeinteger
Default[502,503,504]

HTTP status codes that should be retried.

Used for idempotent methods (GET, HEAD) without their own entry in retryOnStatusCodesByMethod. Non-idempotent methods are never retried on a status code unless listed in retryOnStatusCodesByMethod. Defaults to 502, 503 and 504 for idempotent methods (GET, HEAD) only.

retryOnStatusCodesByMethodobject
SubTypearray

Per-HTTP-method overrides for which status codes should be retried.

Keys are HTTP methods (e.g. GET, POST). A method with no entry here falls back to retryOnStatusCodes. This lets a caller retry more broadly for safe, read-only methods (for example, every 5xx and a 429 for GET/HEAD) while keeping a narrower list for methods that write, where retrying a request that may have already been processed by the origin risks duplicating the effect. Example: {GET: [429, 500, 502, 503, 504], HEAD: [429, 500, 502, 503, 504]}.

retryableTransportFailureMethodsarray
SubTypestring
Default["GET","HEAD"]

HTTP methods for which any transport-level failure may be retried.

A transport-level failure is a connection or timeout error rather than an HTTP response (e.g. a read timeout or a connection reset mid-request). For a method listed here, any such failure is retried. Defaults to GET and HEAD HTTP methods.

ssl

The SSL request options

insecureTrustAllCertificatesbooleanstring

Whether to disable checking of the remote SSL certificate.

Only applies if no trust store is configured. Note: This makes the SSL connection insecure and should only be used for testing. If you are using a self-signed certificate, set up a trust store instead.

timeout

The timeout configuration.

connectTimeoutstring

The time allowed to establish a connection to the server before failing.

readIdleTimeoutstring
DefaultPT5M

The time allowed for a read connection to remain idle before closing it.

Urgency

1 (high), 2 (medium) or 3 (low). Leave blank to use the ServiceNow default.

ServiceNow base URI

Optional base URL override for custom or mock ServiceNow instances; defaults to https://<domain>.service-now.com/ when not set. Takes precedence over domain.

Record number

Human-readable number of the created record, such as INC0010002. Empty for tables that have no number field.

Created record

ServiceNow response for the inserted row.

Record sys_id

Unique identifier of the created record; pass it to Update, Get or Delete.

Record URL

Link that opens the created record in the ServiceNow UI.
