We will walk you through the key information needed to continue the REST of the course. This is the starting point for learning about integrations, providing not only an introduction but also a deeper understanding of the fundamental concepts that lie beneath the surface.
Have you ever thought about your process for completing a puzzle? Do you pick out one piece and start trying or do you take out all the pieces, organize them, and then define your plan for how you are to going to complete. What we want to do, is layout the pieces of the puzzle and once all the pieces displayed, we can find the Edges. Once the edges are defined, you can then fill in the puzzle with the new information you now have.
We will walk through how to set up your first Integration. Have you download Postman (or use your own) system. PHP, Python, ServiceNow, etc. You will be focused on making sure you can get your basic first calls, and not doing anything with the data yet. We'll get to that in later courses!
We are getting into the secondary information concerning Security and Messages. ---- Signed: Signed Certificates to make sure the site is secure. ---- Data Encryption: Making sure that your data is locked behind some credentials and a role. ---- Messages (Success/Info/Error): Making sure that the User, the Backend System, and the Owners are aware of every event they SHOULD know about.
Do you feel comfortable enough to complete your own integration using the basic concepts? Try it out and follow up back here if you have any questions.
