    Key Outcomes

    With this integration, ServiceNow customers can efficiently manage and track work orders linked to customer service cases, enhancing visibility and communication. It streamlines the workflow between CSM and FSM, although users should note that changes made to the Case form are not reflected on the Work Order form, as there is no synchronization between the two.

    Provides an integration between the Customer Service Management and Field Service Management applications.

    Users can view account and contact information on work orders and work order tasks in the Field Service Management application. Customers and consumers can view case-related work orders from the Customer Service and Consumer Service Portals.

    When an agent creates a work order from a customer service case, the work order and task forms include case-related information such as the account and contact. To map fields from a case to a work order task, see .

    When a customer or a consumer views a case from either the Customer or Consumer Service Portals, they can view the details of any work orders and tasks related to the case.
