Spoke actions
The Azure Traffic Manager Spoke provides actions to automate DNS-based traffic load-balancing tasks when events occur in your ServiceNow instance. Available actions include:
| Category | Action | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Endpoint Management | Create Endpoint | Creates a Traffic Manager Endpoint. |
| Delete Endpoint | Deletes a Traffic Manager Endpoint. | |
| Look up Endpoint | Retrieves the details of a Traffic Manager Endpoint. | |
| Update Endpoint | Updates a Traffic Manager Endpoint. | |
| Profile Management | Create Profile | Creates a Traffic Manager Profile. |
| Delete Profile | Deletes a Traffic Manager Profile. | |

Connection and credential alias requirements
Integration Hub uses aliases to manage connection and credential information. Using an alias eliminates the need to configure multiple credentials and connection information profiles when using multiple environments. If the connection or credential information changes, you don't need to update any actions that use the connection. For more information, see Connections and Credentials.
