Yes, you can send a reminder notification to both the requestor and the end user in ServiceNow when an approval is pending. To achieve this, you need to set up a notification or workflow in ServiceNow that triggers when the approval process is in a pending state
Here's a overview of how to set it up:

  • Create/Modify Notification: Go to System Notification > Email > Notifications to create or modify an approval-related notification.
  • Set Condition: Trigger the notification when the approval state is "Pending."
  • Configure Recipients: Set the requestor’s email (${requestor.email}) and end user’s email (${assigned_to.email}) as recipients.
  • Customize Content: Personalize the email with request details.
  • Set Reminder (Optional): Use a Scheduled Job to send reminders at regular intervals (e.g., daily, weekly).
