Alias

Creates a Connection & Credential Alias (sysalias) — a named handle that integrations, Flow Designer actions, and scripts use to reference a connection and credential pair without hard-coding instance-specific values. Reference fields like configurationTemplate, retryPolicy, and parent accept a sysid string, a Record reference, or the corresponding Fluent call (AliasTemplate(), RetryPolicy(), Alias()) directly.

Connection & Credential Aliases

Guide for creating ServiceNow Connection & Credential Aliases (sys_alias) using the Fluent API. Use when the user mentions connecting to external systems, storing or managing credentials, integrating with external databases, managing connections across multiple environments, authentication configuration, or shared integration settings with parent-child inheritance. Do NOT use system properties or custom tables to store connection details or credentials — use aliases instead.
