Hey all, as we get closer to Knowledge 23, I wanted to provide the transcript for this episode of the Break Point podcast on CreatorCon. Different people have different preferred ways to consume content and CreatorCon is an important aspect of the ServiceNow Developer Program, so we thought a transcript wouldn’t hurt!
Transcript Chuck Their CreatorCon experience at Knowledge is nothing short of amazing and we realize there are a lot of people out there that have not been to CreatorCon.

When creating applications on ServiceNow, instead of starting from scratch you have the option of utilizing app templates. These templates help save you time and effort, coming packed with predefined data, experiences, automation, and even security. Prior to the San Diego release, the only available templates were the ones that ServiceNow provided (see the full list here). However, San Diego opened the doors and allowed everyone access to create templates!
Over the course of it’s last ten version upgrades, Flow Designer has blossomed and matured into the automation powerhouse it is today. Even with the great strides that have already been made, Utah welcomes additional, novel functionality into Flow Designer that deserves a spotlight.
Updates Associated Flows First, let’s draw some much-deserved to the backbone of Flow Designer - Actions! Actions are all of the pieces that make up a Flow, automating everything from creating child Tasks to integrating with third party applications.
Happy New Year, Developers! January doesn’t just usher in 2023, but also the Utah Release Season! If this happens to be your first time going through an upgrade season, you may be thinking to yourself, “what does that mean, exactly?” Allow me to explain!
Bi-annually, when ServiceNow launches a new version of our Platform, a couple of critical events occur…
ServiceNow will officially announce the Early Access (EA) release date - for Utah, EA will be February 2nd 2023.
*And yes, that title WAS meant to rhyme! * Before we all rush out the door to enjoy Thanksgiving, I wanted to put out a brief reminder. One of the benefits of moving App Engine Studio and App Engine Management Center to the ServiceNow store, is that it allows the product team to make upgrades agnostic of the standard 6-month cycle or patch updates.
However, the downside is that there isn’t a lot of fanfare when this happens like for a release.
On July 26th 2022 - We here at ServiceNow kicked off the #BuildWithAES Challenge. We prompted the developer community to show us what they had build using the titular App Engine Studio (AES for short) and describe their experience with the product. App Engine Studio is ServiceNow’s development environment. It allows developers, with skill levels ranging from low to pro-code, to build, manage, and delegate the responsibilities of custom applications.
The San Diego release of ServiceNow heralded in the “single pane of glass” for developer admins - App Engine Management Center. With an entire release now under its belt, “AEMC” has seen some major improvements made for Tokyo, and we want to highlight them for you here today!
Rather Listen or Watch Instead of Read? If blogs aren’t your jam, do not fret! For fans of Chuck Tomasi’s Break Point Podcast, he hosted Principle Inbound Product Manager, Brooks Hawkins, to discuss Tokyo’s App Engine Management Center in depth.
Since its debut in the Quebec release, ServiceNow’s App Engine Studio has grown significantly in scope and magnitude. Not only has it taken legacy capabilities and refined them, like the Table and Catalog Builders, but has continuously added new players to the game, like Templates and usage of the Instance Pipeline for deployment.
As “AES” nears its 4th release, we wanted to highlight the updates and new features you can anticipate in the Tokyo version of ServiceNow!
Whether they attended in America, the Netherlands, or Australia, many newcomers walked away from Knowledge ‘22 impressed by the CreatorCon “belle of the ball:” App Engine Studio (AES). This new excitement was in large part due to all of YOU, the ServiceNow developer community, and how you opened up about all of the awesome things you have been building and doing faster than ever. (And AES isn’t even a year old yet!
