We created a catalog item in ServiceNow for the Service Portal.
When I submit the form, it creates a Request [sc_request] > Requested Item [sc_req_item]
On the back-end, we want a workflow (or flow) to set the catalog task and assign it to a specific department.
We get the official ServiceNow message that workflows are being phased out in favor of a flow.
So I started a new flow, and I am in the Trigger.
I assume that the table would be a Requested Item [sc_req_item], because that's where the catalog tasks (SCTASK) would be located, not in the Request [sc_request] level. Correct? Am I setting this up right? How come Request Item isn't showing up (see screenshot. Is there any official documentation on how to set up a flow for a catalog item? We are in Xanadu.
Solved! Go to Solution.
