Slack "Fetch My Requests" is not returning any results

When a Slack user clicks on Fetch My Requests it returns "No requests found" even when they do have open requests. How do we redirect Slack to search correctly?

Hi @GailSnow ,

You can follow below troubleshooting steps:

Ensure that the Slack user has the necessary permissions in ServiceNow to view their requests. This includes:

Access Control Rules: Confirm that the user has appropriate roles and access control permissions to view the records.

Record Visibility: Check that the records are not restricted by any conditions that would prevent the user from accessing them.

2. Check Integration Configuration:

Review the configuration of the ServiceNow to Slack integration:

OAuth Tokens: Ensure that the OAuth tokens used for authentication are valid and have the necessary scopes.

API Permissions: Verify that the integration has the required permissions to access the relevant ServiceNow tables and records.

Slack App Configuration: Check the settings of the Slack app to ensure it is correctly configured to interact with ServiceNow.

ServiceNow Slack "Fetch My Requests" - Quick Fix Most Common Causes: 1. User Permissions Assign x_545827_slack_std.user role in ServiceNow Verify user has Service Catalog access (itil role) 2. Account Connection Slack: More > Automations > Apps > ServiceNow Click Disconnect accounts → Connect your account 3. User Mapping Ensure Slack user email matches ServiceNow user record Check user can see requests in ServiceNow portal directly Quick Troubleshooting: Test in ServiceNow: Can user see Self-Service > My Requests? Check OAuth: System OAuth > Application Registry - verify Client ID/Secret match Slack Verify Connection: Try /servicenow help in Slack Check Logs: System Logs for OAuth/permission errors Most Effective Solution: Reconnect Slack account + Assign proper ServiceNow roles (x_545827_slack_std.user + service catalog access) If still failing: User likely has no requests or ACL restrictions - test with admin account first.
