How to Automatically Page On-Call Team after an INC was created

We’re looking to implement a workflow where, if a scheduled job or file transfer (inbound/outbound) fails to run by a defined time, an incident is automatically created in ServiceNow, and the on-call member of the responsible team is paged via Status Manager.

This would primarily be used by Application Development teams, and the key requirement is that the process should:

  • Detect a missed or delayed job/file based on pre-set thresholds

  • Automatically generate an incident (INC) in ServiceNow

  • Trigger a page or alert to the appropriate team’s on-call contact via Status Manager

Is there a recommended way to set up this kind of integration using ServiceNow’s native capabilities (or with minimal customization)? Specifically:

  • Does Status Manager require an incident to exist in order to trigger a page?

  • Are there best practices or modules for monitoring scheduled tasks and triggering incidents/alerts accordingly?

Any guidance or examples would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
