Connect Purple Suite, review ToolSmith's build | Build EmployeeWorks plugins with ToolSmith (Part 6)
This is the sixth video in the Build EmployeeWorks plugins with ToolSmith series on the ServiceNow Dev Program channel. The video covers the following topics:
- Connecting to PurpleSuite when ToolSmith prompts for it, through a secure configuration form that ToolSmith has already mostly filled in
- Entering the API key and instance ID in that form, then selecting Save and Resume (credentials only ever go in the form, never directly in chat)
- ToolSmith building and testing the booking lookup from the plan
- A failed test, because the email ToolSmith used has no confirmed bookings, and how it asks for an email that does
- Approving the updated plan and seeing the test pass
- What ToolSmith created: a connector, two HTTP actions (the booking lookup and the cancellation), a booking type, a conversational process and the plugin
- Checking that the build matches the plan, ready to try it in the EmployeeWorks web app and confirm the result in Purple Expense
The full written series is on the ServiceNow Community.
