Spoke module

The Automation Anywhere spoke adds the Automation Anywhere application to your instance and includes the Authentication module. In this module, you should provide details in the default credential record to authentication the ServiceNow requests. See ../task/cred-automation-anywhr.html for more information.

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.
