Inbound Email Action specific to the Case table.  Probably looks similar to the OOTB for Incident.

Hi @siddharth26 ,

 

### 1. Create an Inbound Email Action:

 

1. **Navigate to:** System Policy > Inbound Email > Inbound Actions.

2. **Create a new Inbound Action:**

   - **Name:** Give it a descriptive name (e.g., Create Case from Email).

   - **Set the Criteria:** Define criteria that match the emails you want to process (e.g., sender email is zxy@example.com).

   - **Configure Action:**

     - **Action Type:** "Create a New Record."

     - **Table:** Choose "Case" or the table where you want to create a new record.

     - **Mapping:** Map email fields to the corresponding fields in the Case table (e.g., Subject, Body, etc.).

   - **Script:** Optionally, you can include a script to customize the behavior further.

 

### 2. Test the Configuration:

 

Send an email to zxy@example.com and verify if it creates a new case in ServiceNow based on the configuration you set up.

 

Mark my answer helpful & accepted if it helps you resolve your issue.

 

Thanks,
