I am currently setting up an API Integration between UIPath and Service Now. I am successfully able to retrieve Incidents using “Search ServiceNow Records”.
However, I am unable to use the activities “Insert ServiceNow Record” or “Update ServiceNow Record”. When I click “Configure”, I should be able to select the fields I wish to populate/update. Instead, there are no fields available (as per below):
In fact, when I click “Test”, I get an error:
“An Internal Error has occurred. It is recommended to restart UiPath Studio”
I have checked with my Service Now administrator who has confirmed that permissions are set up correctly on that side (Its also weird that I can retrieve Incidents ok).
Would anyone be able to assist with or provide some insight into this issue please?

I am having the same error. UiPath.ServiceNow.Activities version 1.2.0, the latest version available; Studio version 2019.10.1. I am connected and can select an object in the Configure menu, but when I try to add a field nothing happens and if I try to test I get the same error @Billy_Cussen described.
Yes, I am able to access the same object correctly using any of the other activities - I can query it with Search, I can even update it with the Bulk Upsert activity which I am using as a workaround. This error only occurs when attempting to use the wizard as shown in the OP.
That does not seem accurate. Integration users should be given the most narrow set of permissions possible for security. ITIL is an extremely sweeping role with wide access; on top of that, adding an ITIL role would not solve problems for tables that ITIL does not have access to by default (such as CMDB or Test Management). Adding ITIL to robot users willy-nilly when they don’t need them seems like a minefield. Since the API bypasses all client-side validation, this could result in some gnarly issues if your business rules aren’t built to expect it.
It also doesn’t explain why my user is able to access the necessary tables using all the other integration activities without issue.
These are really questions for your SNOW administrator to answer in how they are setting up permissions. The most common is that they create a role specifically for RPA developers to read from the two tables as documented and then put users in that role.
The robot doesn’t need these to run, in case that was not clear. These are strictly there for the designers.
Hello, sorry to revive an old topic. I have been having similar issues as described in the opening post where the fields are not appearing but in any of the ServiceNow activities. I have sat down with my ServiceNow admin going through various roles and permissions without any success so far. Is there any other advice or recommendations to tackle this issue?
it took me a lot of time to get this
