  6. In the URL parameter value field, select Copy to clipboard to copy the auto-generated URL parameter value to the clipboard.

    This URL is generated by the code that depends on the ServiceNow instance and connector type to receive events from the third-party connector. Pasting the URL in your third-party connector configuration creates a webhook that enables it to send events to the ServiceNow instance.

  7. Select Activate and then select OK.
  8. In the Details tab, view the connector details and the URL link and follow the step-by-step instructions to integrate your third-party connector with Event Management.
    The connector is saved and a notification is sent after the connector is active.

What to do next

To confirm the successful configuration of the pull connector and the flow of events into the system, go to the Related events tab. If the setup is successful, proceed to Add automation to establish an alert automation.
