Enhance Service Desk Customer Support with ServiceNow Ticketing Integration

In today's fast-paced business environment, efficient customer support is essential. Streamlining the process of accessing and managing incidents is crucial for businesses looking to provide exceptional service to their customers. This is where the ServiceNow integration in Chime comes into play. In this blog post, we will explore how Chime's ServiceNow Ticket Listing Pipeline Action and JavaScript API calls can help you enhance your customer support capabilities.

ServiceNow Ticket Listing Pipeline Action

Overview

Chime's ServiceNow Ticket Listing Pipeline Action is a powerful tool that allows you to fetch open incidents for a seeker and associate an existing ServiceNow incident with the chat session. This integration simplifies the workflow for your support team, enabling them to quickly identify and address seeker requests.

Chime V5 ServiceNow Features

Before diving into the details, it's essential to enable the necessary ServiceNow features in Chime:

  • ChimeV5.Ticketing.ServiceNow

  • ChimeV5.Pipeline.ServiceNowTickets

Service-Now Instance Configuration

To get started with this integration, your tenant admin will need to specify the ServiceNow instance URL and credentials in Chime's configuration settings. This step ensures a secure connection between Chime and your ServiceNow environment.

Pipeline Configuration

The pipeline configuration is a crucial part of this integration, as it determines how incidents are managed within Chime.

  • Prompt: This field contains the title that will appear on the ticket listing card, providing clarity to your support team.

  • No Result State: Specifies the pipeline key to which the seeker should be moved if no incidents are found for the seeker, ensuring a smooth experience.

  • Lookup tickets using Session Meta Data Field: This field is used for searching incidents in ServiceNow, typically using the seeker's email address, making it easy to locate relevant incidents.

  • Next Stage: Specifies the pipeline key to which the seeker should be moved after they select and associate an incident with the session.

  • Options: Additional pipeline navigation options can be added to the ticketing card as needed, enhancing the user experience.

Seeker Experience

For seekers, the experience is seamless. The pipeline shows a list of open incidents, making it easy for them to select the relevant incident. Clicking on an incident option reveals essential details, including links, descriptions, and the last updated timestamp.

Associating Incident with Chat Session

Associating an incident with the chat session is a breeze. Using the option "This describes my concern," seekers can link the incident to the session, and the system will move them to the next state as specified in the pipeline configuration.

JavaScript API Calls for ServiceNow Integration

Chime V5 ServiceNow Features

Before diving into the details, it's essential to enable the necessary ServiceNow features in Chime:

  • ChimeV5.Pipeline.ScriptChoice

In the pipeline action, "Evaluate JavaScript," several methods are available to access ServiceNow ticketing API calls, enabling you to perform various tasks efficiently.

Script Method - getServiceNowTickets('seekerEmailAddress')

To retrieve a list of tickets, you can use the following script call:

// Get tickets var tickets = getServiceNowTickets("${Guest.Email}");
// API call to update description var result = updateServiceNowTicketDescription('INC0007001', 'Updated description for the incident');

Assign Ticket to an Agent:

These API calls return updated ticket records, ensuring that your incident management process remains efficient.
