# Create a simple processor

## Before you begin

You must have your own demonstration instance.

## About this task

**Note:** This feature is deprecated. While legacy, existing custom processors continue to be supported, creating new custom processors has been deprecated. Instead, use the [Scripted REST APIs](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/api-reference/rest-api-explorer/c_CustomWebServices.md).

var name= g_request.getParameter("name");
g_processor.writeOutput("text/plain","Hello "+name);
```

</td></tr></tbody>
</table>4.  Select **Submit**.
