Technicians follow these steps to take advantage of the ServiceNow/Rescue integration.
The instructions below also apply when using the Case record type.
Note: A separate add-on is required for the Cases functionality.
Note: To be able to use the ServiceNow connector, you must have at least “soap_upate” and “itil” roles.
- In ServiceNow, create and save a new incident.
Important: The incident must be saved in ServiceNow before a Rescue PIN can be generated.
- Click Generate GoTo PIN.
Result: The Generate GoTo PIN window is displayed.
- Enter your GoTo Rescue user name and password.
- Enter your ServiceNow Password.
Result: If you enter an invalid ServiceNow password, the PIN is generated, but upon session end the activity log will be emailed to the technician rather than synchronized with ServiceNow.
- Click OK.
Result: A GoTo Rescue PIN is generated. Depending on email configuration, the technician receives an email with the PIN and sees a pop-up in ServiceNow, while the customer receives a PIN with a link to create a Rescue session.
Remember: Receiving an email with the PIN code also depends on related settings on the Settings page of Rescue Integration in ServiceNow. See section Configure ServiceNow in Configure Rescue.
- Manage the session in Rescue.
Result: Upon session end, the following information is synchronized from Rescue to ServiceNow:
- All chat dialog
- All session history and actions
- All information entered into the Notes & History tab during the session
Tip: Refresh the ServiceNow incident to see the synchronized information.
