ServiceNow

Slash your IT help desk queue with AI that talks to ServiceNow

Employees submit tickets for password resets, VPN issues, and software access. Your AI agent queries ServiceNow's Table API in real time, checks existing ticket status, creates new incidents with full context, and resolves common requests before a human agent gets involved. Ticket volume drops while resolution speed climbs.

IT service management, conversational

Your AI agent leverages ServiceNow's Table API to create, query, and manage IT service records directly from employee and customer conversations.

Query Ticket Status

An employee asks 'What is the status of my laptop request?' The agent queries ServiceNow's incident or request table by the user's email or ticket number, returning current state, assigned group, and expected resolution time.

Create Incident Records

An employee reports that their email is down. The agent gathers symptoms, urgency, and affected services, then creates a properly categorized incident in ServiceNow with all conversation context included. The IT team receives a complete ticket from the start.

Search Knowledge Articles

Before creating a ticket, the agent searches ServiceNow's knowledge base by querying the kb_knowledge table. If a matching article explains the fix, the agent shares the solution. Common issues like password resets get resolved instantly.

Attach Files to Records

An employee wants to attach a screenshot of an error message to their ticket. The agent uses ServiceNow's attachment API to upload the file directly to the incident record, giving the IT team visual context for faster diagnosis.

Delete Duplicate Records

When an employee accidentally submits the same request twice, the agent identifies the duplicate by comparing record details and can remove the redundant entry from ServiceNow, keeping the queue clean.

Find Existing Attachments

A support engineer asks for files related to a specific incident. The agent searches ServiceNow's attachment table for all files linked to that record, providing names, sizes, and download references for efficient troubleshooting.

Use Cases

IT support transformed

See how IT teams use AI agents to deflect common tickets, streamline incident creation, and give employees instant answers from ServiceNow data.

Password Reset Without a Ticket

An employee messages 'I forgot my password.' Your AI Agent searches ServiceNow's knowledge base for the self-service password reset article, walks the employee through the steps, and verifies they regained access. If the self-service path fails, the agent creates an incident automatically. Either way, the employee gets help in under two minutes instead of waiting in the IT queue.

Incident Reporting with Full Diagnostic Context

An employee reports that their VPN disconnects every 10 minutes. Your AI Agent asks targeted diagnostic questions: operating system, VPN client version, error messages, and when it started. It then creates a ServiceNow incident with all this context, correct categorization, and appropriate urgency. The network team picks up a ticket that is already half-triaged.

Recurring Ticket Status Checks Eliminated

An employee checks on their software access request for the third time this week. Your AI Agent queries ServiceNow for the request record, finds it is pending approval from their manager, and tells the employee exactly where it stands with the approver's name. The IT help desk handles zero follow-up queries for requests that are simply waiting in approval chains.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the AI agent interact with ServiceNow's Table API?

The agent uses ServiceNow's REST Table API to perform CRUD operations on any table. It can query the incident table for tickets, create records in the sc_request table for service requests, search kb_knowledge for articles, and manage attachments. Each query uses sysparm parameters for filtering, field selection, and pagination.

Can the agent create incidents with the correct category and assignment group?

Yes. Based on the conversation context and the symptoms described, the agent sets the category, subcategory, urgency, and assignment group fields when creating the incident. You configure the mapping rules during setup, and the agent follows them consistently.

What ServiceNow instance permissions does the integration need?

The agent authenticates with basic credentials (username and password) for a ServiceNow service account. This account needs read access to incident, request, knowledge, and attachment tables. Write access to incident and request tables is needed for creating and updating records.

Does Tars store my ServiceNow employee or incident data?

No. All ServiceNow data is queried in real time during conversations. Employee information, incident details, and knowledge articles are fetched live through the Table API. Tars does not maintain a copy of your ServiceNow records.

Can the agent work with custom ServiceNow tables and fields?

Yes. The Table API supports any table in your ServiceNow instance, including custom tables. The agent can create and query records on custom tables by specifying the table name. Custom fields are accessible through the same sysparm_fields parameter used for standard fields.

How is this different from ServiceNow's Virtual Agent?

ServiceNow's Virtual Agent lives inside the ServiceNow portal. Tars AI Agent works on your website, WhatsApp, Slack, Microsoft Teams, and any external channel where your employees or customers communicate. It also connects to other tools beyond ServiceNow for cross-system responses.

Can the agent handle domain separation in ServiceNow?

Yes. The agent supports the sysparm_query_no_domain parameter. By default, it respects domain restrictions configured for the service account. Admins with the query_no_domain_table_api role can configure the agent to access records across domains.

What happens when the agent cannot resolve an employee's issue?

The agent creates a ServiceNow incident with the full conversation transcript, diagnostic details gathered during the chat, and a suggested priority level. It then confirms the ticket number with the employee and sets expectations for response time based on your SLA configuration.
