Send 'Pretty' Email Reports from an employee's email

mattlaufer — Fri, 03 Jan 2025 15:20:58 GMT

Hello,

We currently have a manual process in service now that I have been told is not possible to automate.

I receive a spreadsheet of problems for the companies I support. I then extract the relevant data, paste into SmartSheet to make it look pretty, then screen shot that, and put it in an email that goes out to my operations leadership. The emails go out at an established cadence based on specific variables. All those variables (like priority) are defined in SN.

This whole process is manual. I've been told it is not possible to automate because 1) SN does not support the ability to send 'pretty' html emails that would suitable for operations leadership. and 2) The emails need to come from an individual employee (varies by region) and not a generic SN email.

Is this really not possible?

Thanks!

@mattlaufer

ServiceNow has capability to send email and add html content in it which can add some styling to it.

What did you try so far and what didn't work?
