  • You can activate the Notifications Email Agents plugin (sn_notif_agents) for Notifications if you have the admin role.

    Before you begin

    Now Assist for Notifications requires a separate subscription from the rest of the ServiceNow AI Platform.

    To purchase a subscription, contact your ServiceNow account manager. When you purchase a subscription, certain plugins are activated automatically. If a paid plugin isn't activated automatically, you can manually activate it from the All Applications list in your instance.

    Note:

    Before purchasing a subscription, you can evaluate the feature on a non-production instance without charge by requesting it from the Now Support Service Catalog.

    Role required: sn_notif_agents.notification_ai_admin

    Procedure

    1. Navigate to All > System Applications > All Available Applications > All.
    2. Find the Notifications Email Agents plugin (sn_notif_agents) using the filter criteria and search bar.

      You can search for the plugin by its name or ID. If you cannot find a plugin, you might have to request it from ServiceNow personnel.

    3. Select Install to start the installation process.
      Note:
      When domain separation and delegated admin are enabled in an instance, the administrative user must be in the global domain. Otherwise, the following error appears: Application installation is unavailable because another operation is running: Plugin Activation for <plugin name>.
      You will see a message after installation is completed. For information about the components installed with a plugin, see Find components installed with an application.
