Service Catalog is a self-service portal where users request services or products.
Example:
Laptop request
Access request
New project demand request
Software installation
Leave request
Users fill a catalog item form, submit → system creates a Request (REQ), RITM, and Task.
Main Tables:
sc_cat_item → Catalog Item
sc_request → Request (REQ)
sc_req_item → Requested Item (RITM)
sc_task → Catalog Task
Flow Designer is a low-code automation tool in ServiceNow.
It automates:
Approvals
Task creation
Notifications
Record updates
Integrations
Instead of writing scripts or workflows, we use drag-and-drop actions.
How Service Catalog + Flow Designer Work Together:
When a user submits a catalog item:
Flow Designer triggers automatically
It performs automation steps
Example Flow:
Trigger:
When Catalog Item = “Laptop Request” is submitted
Flow Actions:
Get Manager
Ask for Approval
If Approved → Create Task for IT Team
Send Email Notification
Close RITM after completion
