  3. In add a action select the connector you want to connect to, in this sample ServiceNow.
  4. Select the list records action, you can configure the record type, in this sample incident and build the query based on what data you want to pull in from ServiceNow.
  5. This task will return us list of incidents from ServiceNow, hence we need to add a Apply to each task, use output from previous step.

  7.
