Hi Everyone,
We have a requirement where, when a RITM (Request Item) is submitted in ServiceNow, the computations will be done and some information will be sent via email and customized PDF attachment.
- The PDF should have a header and other details populated with the computed information.
Question:
Is it possible to achieve this in ServiceNow? If yes, what would be the best approach or recommended practices to implement this?

Hi
It is absolutely possible to develop this as a custom solution:
However, I would recommend considering this solution as well:
https://store.servicenow.com/store/app/52996b221b246a50a85b16db234bcb88
The ROI is reached very quickly, everything is fully managed, and it all runs entirely within ServiceNow. End users can also operate it easily.
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out anytime.

Hi @Ballela Siva Te - the comments above are correct in that you can build this as a custom solution - the building blocks exist in-platform. If you need a turn-key solution with more flexibility, Yansa Labs offers a certified ServiceNow Store app that facilitates the creation of templates, the merging of record data, and the generation/attachment of a PDF to a record. It includes both a Flow Action as well as an interactive UI for when technicians need to generate on-demand or customize before attachment. If it's useful, it's free to trial at the link below. Feel free to reach out to me directly if we can help!
