Closing requests and app notifications in Creator Studio

  • The records that your app creates when a form is completed are not automatically closed, and some notifications are not automatic and must be configured.

    Closing requests generated by Creator Studio apps

    After an app's automation is done and the request is fulfilled, users must manually close the request record in the Request App Workspace. When fulfillers manually close the request, the ServiceNow AI Platform emails the person who made the request to notify them that the request is closed.

    Automation in Creator Studio doesn't support activities for email notifications. However, you can add a placeholder activity, and then edit the playbook in Workflow Studio to add the email notification.
