Our team would like to be reminded of an upcoming change that is assigned to them and they would like to see it 30 minutes prior to that date and time. How do you perform this? Are there examples out there? I am very new to ServiceNow, so please provide as much detail as possible. I thank you in advance.

Hi Joan,
Your business rule looks to be set to populate the Reminder date field, but only if the start date is filled in with a value. I would change the business rule to the planned end date value (current.end_date), and then enter a date value in this field to test your business rule. If it works, then the business rule should enter the reminder value to be 30 minutes (-1800) from the planned end date.
Thanks,
David

I get the error below. The Planned Start Date was actually Start_Date in the definition, which is why I have it stated this way below.
Exception (ReferenceError: "Condition" is not defined. (; line 26)) occured while evaluating'Condition - current.start_date.changes() && current.start_date != ''' in business rule 'Change Request Reminder' on change_request:CHG0035841; skipping business rule
I get the error below
Here is everything I have done, hopefully I followed your instruction. One Note is that I did not put any entry into the Reminder fields
1. Created field reminder in Change Table
2. Created this business rule on change table
3. Created Event Registry
4. Created Business System rule

Hi Joan,
Can you please place a screenshot of the business rule which is throwing the error.
Meanwhile, try to replace the condition with following.
current.start_date.changes()
Let me know the results.

Can you see the screen shots below. I think I figured it out and it is stupid user error. In the Business Rule, I copied you information exactly and should have removed the Condition — and only put the current.start_date.changes() && current.start_date!="

I still have not gotten it to work. Does the Change have to be approved by the CAB or be in the state of Implementation before the reminder will come thru?
