IFS Assyst

Overview

The IFS Assyst Integration enables seamless connectivity between your platform and IFS Assyst (assystREST v2) to synchronize and manage IT service management data. This integration supports incident management, event tracking, and service request workflows through the assystREST API, allowing organizations to streamline ITSM operations through a unified connector framework.

Prerequisites

Before initiating the integration, ensure the following requirements are met:

• An active IFS Assyst instance accessible over HTTPS.

• Valid IFS Assyst username and REST API password (Basic Authentication credentials).

• The IFS Assyst domain URL (e.g., as-na-usdemo-app-1.ifsdemoworld.com).

• Access to the Spool platform with Admin role privileges.

• Network connectivity between the Spool platform and your IFS Assyst instance.

Best practices

• Use the hostname only: Enter the domain without https:// prefix or trailing slash.

• Validate after setup: Always run Test Connection after saving to confirm credentials and network access.

• Credentials security: Use a dedicated IFS Assyst service account with read/write access to the required resources. Avoid using personal admin accounts.

• API import: After initial setup, trigger an API import to populate available endpoints. This only needs to be done once unless the IFS Assyst API surface changes.

• Network access: Ensure the platform's egress IP is whitelisted in your IFS Assyst environment if IP restrictions are in place.
