-   **[Custom Connector Gateway external content connector](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=custom-connector-gateway-external-content-connector&family=australia&ft:locale=en-US)**

Retrieve content, metadata, and users from any source system using your own custom connector, running in your local or cloud environment. Send your retrieved data to a gateway connector running on your instance by submitting Custom Connector Gateway API requests to an ingest gateway host. The gateway connector indexes your retrieved data and makes it searchable in the ServiceNow AI Platform®.

-   **[Support for Markdown and email message binary files and attachments](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=file-extensions-ext-cont-connector&family=australia&ft:locale=en-US)**

Extract searchable text from Markdown \(.md\) and email message \(.eml, .msg\) files and attachments retrieved by your external content connectors.
