I would like to know is there a solution to incident ticket via email and below is my scenario.

 

1. I have created 3 field in the incident ticket as below.

  • External Ticket Number
  • External Ticket Status
  • External Ticket Assignee

2. When I receive an email from external vendor, they already have the below information in the email content.

  • External Ticket Number : 99999
  • External Ticket Status : In Progress
  • External Ticket Assignee : Tim Hope

3. I want the incident ticket to be updated the field in the ticket automatically based on the email information below from external vendor. 

  • External Ticket Number
  • External Ticket Status
  • External Ticket Assignee

How can I do that?

Thank you

Hi, this is OOB behavior using inbound actions,

but you will need to map your fields in a script and if the data is reference data lookup the correct record so you have the sys_id to map.

Inbound email actions (servicenow.com)

 

if your message body has the data as name: value pairs then the platform will map these to variables for you so should be simple to extract from the message body

Hi Kalyan,

If you have the similar inbound action scripts that would be very helpful.

Thank you.
