# ServiceNow integration

{% hint style="info" %}
If you’re new to integrations in Rewst, read through our introductory integration documentation [here](https://docs.rewst.help/documentation/integrations).
{% endhint %}

## What does the ServiceNow integration do?

Our ServiceNow integration enables the automation of IT service management and business processes. Use the ServiceNow API within Rewst workflows to create and update incidents, manage change requests, retrieve and modify user information, and streamline approval processes.

## Set up the ServiceNow integration

{% hint style="info" %}
A developer instance of ServiceNow is not required to set up the Rewst integration, but is available from ServiceNow for safe testing of Rewst workflows against their application before connecting a regular production environment to Rewst. If you wish to safely test before fully deploying the integration, use the developer instance first, then reinstall the integration on your production instance.
{% endhint %}

### Set up steps in ServiceNow

{% hint style="info" %}
If your account has MFA enabled, the ServiceNow API will ignore this requirement. It will not interfere with the integration.
{% endhint %}

1. Navigate to **All > User Administration > Users**.
2. Click **New** to add a new user.<br>

   <figure><img src="/files/jl8LaCalTMDw1f8VaeML" alt=""><figcaption><p>The new user set up page</p></figcaption></figure>
3. Enter `RewstAPI` into the **User ID** field. Save this information with your hostname. You'll need it for further steps in Rewst.
4. Check the **Active** box.
5. Click **Submit**.
6. Click on the new user that appears in the total user table to re-open its record.
7. Click **Set Password**.
8. Click **Generate** to create a new secure password. Copy this password and save the information with your hostname and username. The hostname of your ServiceNow instance should exclude the protocol — e.g. `example.service-now.com`.
9. Click **Save Password**.

### Set up steps in Rewst

1. Navigate to **Marketplace > Integrations** in the left side menu of your Rewst platform.
2. Search for `ServiceNow` in the integrations page.\
   \
   ![](/files/9NRJlLTfCoMINKZSAh9r)
3. Click on the integration tile to launch the configuration setup page.
4. Under **Parameters**, enter the information you copied out of ServiceNow into the relevant fields:
   1. **Hostname**
   2. **Password**
   3. **User Name**
5. Click **Save Configuration**.
6. Rewst will do a quick validation of your input. Once completed, you'll see a new section beneath the configuration form for[ organization mapping](https://docs.rewst.help/documentation/integrations#what-is-organization-mapping). Complete your mapping as desired.

### Additional ServiceNow steps

Several of the ServiceNow endpoints require you to set up plugins for them to work for the Rewst integration.&#x20;

1. Navigate to **All > System Definition > Plugins** in your ServiceNow instance.
2. Search for the below listed plugins and install them.&#x20;
   1. Customer Service plugin (com.sn\_customerservice) and csm\_ws\_integration role and is provided within the now namespace.
   2. Order Management for Customer Service Management (app-csm-order-mgmt) and sn\_csm\_order\_mgmt role.
   3. Order Management for Telecommunications (sn\_ind\_tmt\_orm) - Optional
   4. Telecommunications Assurance Workflows
   5. Customer Service (com.sn\_customerservice)
   6. Customer Service Install Base Management (com.snc.install\_base)

## ServiceNow Domain Separation in Rewst

{% hint style="info" %}
See ServiceNow's own documentation on Domain Separation [here](https://support.servicenow.com/kb?id=kb_article_view\&sysparm_article=KB0715934).
{% endhint %}

*Domain Separation* in ServiceNow is a way to separate data, processes, and administrative tasks into logical groupings called domains, so that users in one domain cannot see or interact with data in another domain unless explicitly permitted. This shouldn't be confused with [multi-instance integration](/documentation/integrations/multi-instance-integration.md), which is a way of setting up integrations that is specific to Rewst. While the Rewst integration was not explicitly designed for MSPs who use Domain Separation, they can still use Rewst with the ServiceNow integration. Any call or action that can be initiated from ServiceNow can be received by Rewst.

Note that Domain Separated ServiceNow users will need to [clone and customize](/documentation/crates.md#synced-versus-unsynced-crates) any related Rewst Crates to successfully use them. When using Rewst tasks for ServiceNow, they can be scoped at either the global - parent - level or the domain - child - level. In some tasks, you can use the **No Domain** field to add a flag that indicates whether the record search should be restricted to only domains for which the logged-in user is configured.

## Actions and endpoints

{% hint style="info" %}
For more on how actions work in Rewst, check out our [introductory actions documentation here](https://docs.rewst.help/documentation/workflows/actions-in-rewst).
