1. Incident Search: External applications can perform searches to retrieve incident records based on various criteria such as incident number, description, category, assignment group, or requester. This allows users to find specific incidents or analyze incident data for reporting or analysis purposes.
2. Service Catalog Search: Third-party applications can search the ServiceNow service catalog to retrieve information about available services, service offerings, or service categories. This enables users to find and request the appropriate services directly from the external application.
3. Knowledge Base Search: ServiceNow's knowledge base can be searched by external applications to retrieve articles and documentation. This allows users to access relevant knowledge articles for self-service or troubleshooting purposes directly from the third-party application.
