  • Create a self-service portal to help customers resolve issues independently and access information through integrated knowledge bases, chatbots, and appointment booking features.

    Portals

    Set up and customize self-service portals to provide customers with access to knowledge bases, service catalogs, case management, and other essential features through configurable interfaces. Choose from Customer and Consumer Service Portals or Business and Consumer Portal based on your organizational needs.

    Walk-up Experience

    Set up Walk-up Experience to support both online and onsite check-ins at your service center. Configure the experience to fit the needs of your organization.

    Conversational Appointment Booking

    Install and set up the Conversational Appointment Booking application to enable customers to book, reschedule, or cancel appointments through Virtual Agent conversations.

    Configurable Portal Widgets

    Use Configurable Portal widgets to configure widget behavior, visual appearance, and content. Update the information presented on widgets through instance options to reduce the work required to implement and maintain widgets for your users.

    Web Embeddables

    Use Web Embeddables to embed ServiceNow components into external websites outside of the ServiceNow environment. Use the default components or create custom components to interact with the ServiceNow platform through dedicated APIs that enable real-time data exchange without requiring users to directly access the ServiceNow instance.

    Engagement Messenger

    With the Engagement Messenger web application, your customers can easily access the information or services they need from your third-party web applications, even if they’re located outside of the ServiceNow environment.
