Watch the Demo
Almost immediately after working with Itential, we started to realize the true value of delivering services the same day without having to go through a reskilling process. We chose Itential because our environment is truly hybrid and their platform works best with both worlds.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you publish an automation?
Once a workflow has been created and tested in Automation Studio, you can publish the workflow as an automation in Itential’s Operations Manager. Publishing an automation is a simple process of selecting the workflow, assigning a name, and determining the trigger method you wish to use to run the published automation.
Can you create a self-service portal for automations?
Self-service is automatically available for automations that you publish using a manual trigger method. This method allows a user to select the automation from a list that they have access to in Operations Manager.
For self-service portals outside of IAP, an automation can be published with an API trigger which allows you to define an API endpoint to associate with the automation. This API endpoint can be used with any external system to run the automation, with proper access and providing the appropriate data payload.
Itential also publishes platform specific apps that can be installed in other platforms to streamline the integration of that platform into Itential. For example, Itential’s app for ServiceNow is a certified application that a ServiceNow admin can download and install from the ServiceNow App Store. Once installed, it can integrate with any Itential Automation Platform instance in minutes, and present a unified view of automations that can be run by an defined ServiceNow user.
Can automations run from an API?
Yes, an Itential automation can be associated with an API endpoint when it is published in Operations Manager.
Can automations be scheduled?
Yes, Itential supports scheduling an automation so it can be run automatically at a time in the future, and it can be defined to run on a recurring schedule as well.
