Why teams connect Onelogin and ServiceNow

Keep the users, groups, and profile details that ServiceNow and Onelogin share consistent in real time, so who can work in ServiceNow always matches who your directory in Onelogin says belongs there.

Onelogin is where a company records who its people are: their accounts, the groups and roles they hold, and the attributes attached to each one. ServiceNow is where a slice of those same people do their work, as agents, members, or seats, and every one of them needs a matching account with the right access. When a directory and a productivity tool are maintained by hand, someone added, moved, or offboarded in one becomes a stale entry in the other within the hour.

Stacksync syncs Problems, Service Catalog Requests, Configuration Items (CMDB), Users and Groups in ServiceNow with Apps (app instances), Groups, Mappings (mapping rules), Events in Onelogin bi-directionally and in real time. A user created, renamed, moved between groups, or deactivated in either system updates the matching record in the other within seconds, with field-level mapping and conflict resolution in place of CSV uploads and nightly IT batch jobs.

That matters most at the edges of employment. When both systems agree on who has an account, which groups they belong to, and whether they are still active, granting access on day one and revoking it on the last day stops being a manual checklist that trails the directory.

Common use cases

  • 01 Create ServiceNow tickets automatically from CRM cases and sync status back as agents work them
  • 02 Bi-directional sync of incidents with engineering issue trackers so IT and engineering work the same ticket without re-keying
  • 03 Two-way sync Users between OneLogin and an HRIS or Postgres so new hires, attribute changes, and terminations provision and deprovision SSO accounts automatically.
  • 04 Read the OneLogin Events audit log into a warehouse or SIEM for login analytics, access reviews, and SOC 2 audit evidence.

Common sync patterns

Close access when someone leaves

When a user is disabled or removed in Onelogin, their account in ServiceNow is deactivated in step, so offboarding shuts down access everywhere instead of leaving a live login behind.

Keep profile attributes current

A person's name, email, department, manager, or phone number corrected in either system updates the other, so the productivity tool shows the same details the directory holds of record.

Mirror group and role membership

Moving a user between groups or roles in Onelogin updates their team, permission set, or seat in ServiceNow, so what someone can do reflects where they sit in the directory.

What you can sync between Onelogin and ServiceNow

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Onelogin objects ServiceNow objects How this pairing syncs
Mappings (mapping rules) Attribute-driven rules that assign roles and app access; full CRUD via the Mappings API, then reapplied across matching users. Problems Root-cause records linked to incidents, useful in cross-system reporting. Mappings (mapping rules) is specific to Onelogin and Problems to ServiceNow — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Events Audit log of every authentication and admin action; read-only, filtered by since/until, and pushed live through the Event Webhook. Service Catalog Requests Requested items and approvals that often trigger provisioning in other systems. Events is specific to Onelogin and Service Catalog Requests to ServiceNow — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Authentication factors (MFA) Per-user registered MFA factors; enrolled, verified, and removed through the MFA API for lifecycle and security workflows. Configuration Items (CMDB) Asset and infrastructure records synced with discovery tools and asset databases. Authentication factors (MFA) is specific to Onelogin and Configuration Items (CMDB) to ServiceNow — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Custom user fields Account-level custom attributes on the User record; read and written alongside the standard user profile fields. Users and Groups Sys_user and group tables synced with HR systems and identity providers. Custom user fields is specific to Onelogin and Users and Groups to ServiceNow — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Users User accounts (email, username, custom attributes, status, roles); full CRUD via the v2 Users API - create, update, delete, set password, lock/unlock, and add or remove role assignments. Tasks The base task table that incidents, changes, and requests extend. Users is specific to Onelogin and Tasks to ServiceNow — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Roles Roles that bundle app access; created, updated, and deleted via the Roles API, with users, admins, and apps assigned to each role. Knowledge Articles Support content that can be mirrored to help centers or search indexes. Roles is specific to Onelogin and Knowledge Articles to ServiceNow — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Onelogin and ServiceNow

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

Onelogin ServiceNow Sub-second propagation

DetectionOnelogin notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Event Webhook (Event Broadcaster) posts batches of Event objects to a registered endpoint in near real time.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to ServiceNow through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

ServiceNow Onelogin Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls ServiceNow for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on sys_updated_on timestamps.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Onelogin through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Onelogin: Account-level limit of 5,000 API calls per hour shared across all access tokens; responses carry X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining, and X-RateLimit-Reset, over-limit calls return HTTP 429, and the count resets each hour. Paid plans can request an increase.
  • ServiceNow: Subject to instance-level API rate limits and concurrency semaphores configured by administrators.

How the Onelogin and ServiceNow connectors work

Onelogin

Integration surface
OneLogin API (REST, v1 and v2 resource endpoints on <subdomain>.onelogin.com) plus the Event Webhook (Event Broadcaster) for event delivery
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 client credentials - an admin generates an API credential pair (client_id + client_secret) in the OneLogin portal and exchanges it at POST /auth/oauth2/v2/token for a bearer access token sent on every call; each credential carries a scope (Manage all, Manage users, Read users, etc.) that governs read vs write.
Change detection
Event Webhook (Event Broadcaster) posts batches of Event objects to a registered endpoint in near real time; the Events API also supports polling with since/until time filters and pagination for historical backfill.
