Key Features
- Contextual Insights: Retrieves detailed data from multiple sources including case status, priority, assignees, notes, customer account details, recent activities, product ownership, catalog interactions, and historical communications.
- Case Management Actions: Allows agents to perform case-related operations like creation, modification, escalation, and closure using natural language commands.
- Multi-turn Q&A Experience: Maintains conversational context, enabling agents to ask follow-up questions for deeper insights.
- Clear Handling of Missing or Out-of-Scope Data: Provides explicit responses when data is unavailable and redirects when questions fall outside its scope.
- Role-based Security Controls: Enforces access permissions through role masking and Access Control Lists (ACLs), ensuring agents only see authorized data.
- Feedback Mechanism: Agents can provide feedback on AI responses to improve accuracy over time.
Setup and Configuration
Administrators configure the workflow via AI Agent Studio by defining user access, data access, and security controls. Key setup steps include:
- Selecting the Provide Customer 360 insights workflow in AI Agent Studio.
- Defining which users (B2B and B2C agents) can access the workflow based on assigned roles.
- Setting the user identity under which the workflow runs to control data permissions.
- Optionally configuring automated triggers and specifying communication channels such as the Now Assist panel.
- Modifying Access Control Lists (ACLs) as needed to align with organizational security policies and custom roles.
Using the Provide Customer 360 Insights Agentic Workflow
Agents interact with the workflow through the Now Assist panel within case records. They can ask natural language questions like “What products is this customer currently using?” and receive accurate, contextually relevant answers. The AI agents involved include:
- Case Action AI Agent: Executes case-related operations (e.g., creating tasks, updating notes).
- Customer Insight AI Agent: Retrieves and summarizes customer and case data to answer detailed inquiries.
Benefits for ServiceNow Customers
- Improves agent productivity by providing instant access to comprehensive customer and case insights.
- Enhances customer service quality through informed decision-making and faster issue resolution.
- Maintains data security and compliance with role-based access controls.
- Enables seamless integration of generative AI capabilities within existing CSM workflows.
Provide Customer 360 insights agentic workflow is a GenAI-powered assistant that helps agents answer natural language questions about customers, cases, products, catalogs, and past interactions with a seamless multi-turn Q & A experience.
This workflow enables agents to retrieve case details, customer information, and perform actions such as case creation, modification, escalation, and closure using natural language queries. It supports real-time context-aware responses and respects role-based access controls.
Provide customer 360 insights agentic workflow overview
- Ask follow-up questions and get context-aware responses in real time.
- Access critical customer details and history to make informed decisions.
This feature consolidates scattered user and case data, providing agents with timely, accurate insights to make informed decisions, reducing Mean Time To Resolve (MTTR) and helping to solve issues. If something isn’t found, the GenAI responds clearly. For example, “I couldn’t find any recent catalog interactions for this customer". If the question is outside its scope, it redirects.
Provide Customer 360 insights agentic workflow
Customer 360 insights agentic workflow is set up as a promoted asset in the Now Assist panel.
This workflow manages all case-related queries and actions, including retrieval of case details, history, timelines, assignments, status, customer information, sentiment analysis, related cases, knowledge articles, and case updates. It supports natural language requests for specific case numbers, aggregates comprehensive case and customer data, analyzes historical patterns and sentiment, and executes case management operations such as creation, modification, escalation, and closure.
Role masking
Agentic workflows and their AI agents use role masking to determine which users can access them. Ones installed with Now Assist applications have specific roles that come included with the application. If you select Users with specific roles for user access, you must configure the security controls to include these roles. For the instructions to change the security controls, see Define security controls for an agentic workflow.
In the data access settings, you must also add the necessary roles to helps agents to resolve cases more efficiently and effectively. For example, you can add the csm role to the agentic workflow's list of approved roles so that it can access case records.
Setup Provide customer 360 insights Agentic Workflow
- Navigate to .
- Select Provide Customer 360 insights.
- In Define key requirements the workflow’s purpose is clearly described and its steps with specific actions and criteria for each is outlined.
- In Define security controls you can set the access at user and data level.
- Define user access: Specify which users can access and interact with the agentic workflow. Once you save your selections, the system automatically generates an Access Control List (ACL).
- Define data access: Choose the user identity under which the Provide customer 360 insights agentic workflow will run. This determines the roles and associated data access permissions.Note:Choose the user identity this agentic workflow should run as to determine the roles and the data access permissions derived from them. Remember, when agentic workflows can access data, they can also share that data with the human user who interacts with them. Agent level role mask are: B2B agents (sn_customerservice_agent) and B2C agents (sn_customerservice.consumer_agent).
- In Add triggers you can set up optional triggers to launch the agentic workflow automatically without a user request. Triggers can be based on conditions or schedules you define and initiate agentic AI experiences.
- In Select channels and status, you can choose the channels where this agentic workflow will be available to engage with users who initiate interactions. Toggle the display for Engage via the
Now Assist panel to see the agentic flow in the Now Assist panel.Note:To turn off the agentic workflow, toggle off Engage via the Now Assist panel.
- Select Save and test.
The agent executes the testing in AI Agent Studio for the agentic workflow.
In the Now Assist panel, the agent receives a notification as soon as the interaction is generated, which enables them to follow the on-screen instructions and complete the task. For more information, see Request the generative AI capabilities in Customer Service Management by using the Now Assist panel.
Access Control lists (ACLs)
Access Control Lists (ACLs) are preconfigured to support the Provide customer 360 insights use case, including AI agents and their associated flows and actions, such as the Customer insights Agent. By default, ACLs are configured for the sn_esm_agent role. Customers can modify these ACLs to align with their specific business requirements and security policies. For more information, Configure security controls for a skill.
- Go to the sys_security_acl table.
- Use filters to locate ACLs related to your use case, AI agent, and internal flows or actions.
- Add your custom role to each relevant ACL record.

Use Provide customer 360 insights Agentic Workflow
The Provide customer 360 insights agentic workflow in Now Assist for Customer Service Management (CSM) gives agents contextual, GenAI-driven insights about customers directly within a case. By selecting the Now Assist icon in a case record, agents can access the Now Assist panel that delivers real-time insights based on customer data.
Agents can ask natural language questions, such as "What products is this customer currently using?" The AI agent responds with accurate, contextually relevant answers and maintains conversational context across multiple questions.
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| Contextual Insights | AI retrieves and summarizes information from multiple sources, including:
|
| Handling | If data is unavailable or ambiguous, AI communicates clearly, for example, I couldn’t find any recent catalog interactions for this customer. For out-of-scope questions GenAI declines and redirects. |
| Security | GenAI respects role-based access controls and does not surface restricted information. |
| Feedback Loop | Agents can give thumbs up or thumbs down or flag inaccurate responses for retraining. |
