Hello @Ankur Bawiskar ,

 

I hope you are doing good. 

we have tried in our pre production environment with Flow designer but that is not working as expected.

 

Where we have OOTB field which can capture the Strike Count as 1, 2, 3.. etc after the strike rule 3 is exceed it should close the ticket automatically. And the condition will be state "On Hold " and Reason "Awaiting caller". with the same trigger condition. Could you please suggest me any Subflow need to be configured or it will be executed the current flow designer.

You are prompt action will be more appreciable.

Note: Do we need to configure the BR.

Hi @nameisnani ,

 

To implement a 3-strike rule in ServiceNow, you can utilize a combination of workflows, business rules, and notifications. This allows you to automatically send reminders to users when a ticket is awaiting their action and potentially close the ticket if no response is received after a set number of attempts. 

 

Create a BR and flow which will check the incidnet status - Pending or whatever you are using in your org. Send first notification and after certain time means ex:- 72 hours - send another notification and then 3rd notification.

After 3rd notification after some time ex:- 24 hours- flow should change status of incident to Close. (May be you can send notification again to inform user that incident is closed).

 

Hope it will help.
