Spoke flows
The Microsoft Exchange Online spoke provides sample flows in the published state to
demonstrate automating renewing subscriptions. Available sample flows include:
| Flow | Description |
|---|---|
| Renew Subscriptions | Retrieves all the subscription records and renews the subscriptions if a renewal is required, based on the expiration time. If any subscription has its status marked as 'Being deleted', then its record is deleted and isn’t considered for renewal. |
Spoke subflows
The spoke provides subflows in the Published state to integrate with the Microsoft Exchange Online service. These subflows can be used as part of other subflows and flows.
| Category | Subflows | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Webhook management | Check Event Subscription | Checks if a webhook subscription with specified event resource, or notification URL and change type exists. |
| Create or Update Subscription Record | Checks if the specified subscription record exists in Microsoft Exchange Online and updates the subscription record if it exists. If the subscription record doesn’t exist, a new subscription record is created. | |
| Create or Update Subscriptions for Resources | Checks for the subscriptions for the specified resources. If the subscription for the specified resources don’t exist, then new subscriptions are created.

| Delete Calendar Scheduling Event | Deletes the specified event in Microsoft Exchange Online and the related records from events tables, related attachments, related records from event attendees and event to subscription m2m tables. | |
| Delete Event Record | Deletes the specified event record from events tables and the related attachments, related records from event attendees and event to subscription m2m tables. | |

Available AI agents
Install Now Assist for Spokes and start using the available AI agents. For more information, see Now Assist for Spokes.
This spoke provides standalone AI agents that mimic human-like intelligence to perform tasks in your ServiceNow instance.
- In the ServiceNow agentic system, you can create an agentic workflow that comprises of a set of large language model (LLM) instructions along with one or more standalone AI agents to execute an objective. See Create an agentic workflow for information about adding AI Agents to create agentic workflows as per your requirement and provide the required trigger.
You can also search for other available AI agents and add them to your agentic workflow. See Find AI agents for more information.
- You can create a clone of the required spoke AI agent and customize it as per your requirement. See Duplicate an AI agent for more information about creating a clone.
- See Now Assist AI Agents for information about AI agents.
Available AI Agents include:
There may be AI agents installed with the Now Assist application that are not used in agentic workflows. To learn how to see all agents that are available to you, see Find AI agents.
Microsoft account requirements
The Microsoft Exchange Online spoke needs registering an application using the Microsoft Azure portal to generate OAuth 2.0 tokens.
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 Set up Microsoft Exchange Online spoke.
MID Server requirements
To use these actions, your instance must have a MID Server set up and configured to use PowerShell. Make sure that Power Shell with EXO V2 module is installed. This module is required for executing the Mailbox management actions. Use the connection record associated with the Mailbox alias to configure where actions run as well as set MID Server selection attributes. For more information about the MID Server, see MID Server.
To set up the MID Server for this spoke, see Set up MID Server for a spoke.
