ServiceNow is a Platform-as-a-service provider, providing technical management support, such as IT service management, to the IT operations of large corporations, including providing help desk functionality.

What can Zenduty do for ServiceNow users?

With ServiceNow's Integration, Zenduty sends new ServiceNow Incident alerts to the right team and notifies them based on on-call schedules via email, text messages(SMS), phone calls(Voice), Slack, Microsoft Teams and iOS & Android push notifications, and escalates alerts until the alert is acknowledged or closed. Zenduty provides your NOC, SRE and application engineers with detailed context around the ServiceNow Incident alert along with playbooks and a complete incident command framework to triage, remediate and resolve incidents with speed.

When a ServiceNow Incident is created, Zenduty can be alerted, which inturn create a Incident In Zenduty. Any future alerts sent by the ServiceNow Incident can be handled by the predefined Incident mapped provided by the user on initial integration.

You can also use Alert Rules to custom route specific ServiceNow alerts to specific users, teams or escalation policies, write suppression rules, auto add notes, responders and incident tasks.
