Many organizations today use simple optical character recognition (OCR) solutions to extract data from documents that requires significant manual configuration, and also often requires manual changes as the documents evolve. Document Intelligence extends beyond the simple OCR by using ML to identify, understand, and extract text and data from documents. This enables you to accurately automate document processing and accurately extract information from documents, even when the documents have varied text, data, and templates.

+.token.entity { + cursor: help; +} -

We added this capability on the platform so the data extraction from documents can easily be done but also for our customer to be able to do this from within their own Workflows on the platform. A lot of processes still involve digital documents, this can be a useful capability as organisation are progressing on their hyperautomation journey.

In this exercise we are going over a use case of a fictitious organization called ACME. ACME is growing very fast and hiring a lot of new employees. The HR team has submitted an Automation request in Automation Center to automate the Onboarding process of new hire. ACME's Automation COE has agreed to automate that process and use Document Intelligence to add some automation. One step of this process is called Setup Direct Deposit. We are going to focus for this exercise on this part. The current process is manual and done via email. Payroll Operation team request the employee to submit a VOID Check via email, then upon reception of that email Payroll manually extracts the banking information from the VOID Check and has to perform data entry operations with that data to setup the direct deposit for the new employee. In this exercise we are going to review how this the data extraction can be automated, and in the following exercise we will see how we can automate the Data Validation and Data Entry for this data using Integration Hub and RPA Hub.

The confidence score increases as you train the model with more document (usually 4 to 5 documents is enough to reach high number). On the Task definition you can configure the Straight Through processing threshold. this correspond to the predicition confidence score value for which you want to extract the values and map them to the fields without a manual review from an agent.

    In this exercise you will learn how to create a Spoke in Integration Hub. You will learn how to connect a ServiceNow Workflow to a remote API. For our use case we want to use Integration Hub to validate some data against an API. In the previous exercise we have seen how to extract data from document using our Intelligent Document Processing capability (Document Intelligence). In the previous exercise we see how we can extract Banking information from a VOID Check automatically using DocIntel. In this exercise we see how we validate the Routing Number extracted from a VOID Check by building an Integration Hub spoke action that is going to take this Routing Number information and pass it to an external API. This 3rd party API returns additional banking information that can be useful to setup the direct deposit for this new employee, or simply validate that the data extracted is correct. This is just an example to show how easily you can connect ServiceNow to external system via API by creating your own Spoke. We see how to build an integration to an API with having to write a single line of code.

    When you need to create an integration from ServiceNow to an external system via API, it is important to familiarize yourself with the API that you are going to call from ServiceNow first. In the following steps we are going to take a look at that API so we can understand how it works and create our own spoke for it:

The Message coming from the API response (return code) and the Bank Name associated to the routing number provided as an input. This example shows how you can use your custom action in a subflow and how you can select only the information you need from that action and expose the retrieved values as Subflow outputs.

      You have now completed the Integration Hub exercise. We have seen how to create a new API integration by creating a new Spoke Action and using the REST and JSON Parser steps, then how to publish that spoke action to be able to use it in a subflow.
