You can try adding a visible or hidden true/false field on the record to run a flow to trigger notification loops, then an inbound email action.

 

  1. Add a boolean field on your record (like u_user_replied, default false)
  2. Flow logic for notification loop: Record hits your condition, loop notification trigger while "u_user_replied" = false. 

  3. The Inbound Email Action When the user replies, ServiceNow grabs the watermark, matches the recoird, and sets "u_user_replied" to true.

Hi @kiran kumar m1 ,

 

  • When the record is created (any of your required condition) , send the first notification email (Day 1).
  • Add a Wait for 1 Day action in the flow.
  • Check whether the user has replied to the email:
    • If the user has replied, update a flag on the record (through an Inbound Email Action) and end the flow.
    • If no reply is received, send the second notification (Day 2).
  • Add another Wait for 1 Day action and perform the same check.
  • If there is still no reply, send the third and final notification (Day 3).
  • Stop the process as soon as a reply is detected at any stage.
