How to setup new Inbound Email Action with Business Rule

Cory Hitchings

Hi all, 

I am setting up a new business group in ServiceNow, when someone emails their address, it create Incidents from these email addresses. 

Currently we have inbound actions to create a CALL if someone emails the Service Desk (let's say 'email1@domian.com') 

This works great, the Service Desk determines whether it's a Request or an Incident and triage's the email manually. 

What I am trying to accomplish is when someone emails email2@domain.com, this must skip the CALL creation, and create an Incident assigning it to the assignment group directly.  

Does anyone know what Business Rule I would need to create to skip the CALL creation and log the incident? 

Thank you!

No business rule is needed. You can add a condition on the Create Call inbound action, When to Run, to exclude processing for those emails. 

Thank you for the response.  I am not exactly sure how to exclude these emails? 

I've added the email addresses here; but still is creating a CALL... any ideas?

Look at the inbound email and see where the email address is found. It could be Recipients (guessing no since you tried), could be User or User ID if a user exists for that email address.

If none of them, you can try adding a condition at the bottom !email.to.includes('emailaddress') in the condition field.
