Integrate Jeli and ServiceNow using the power of Jeli's webhooks and public API. With this integration you can:

• Automatically create a ticket in ServiceNow when an incident is opened in Jeli.
• Automatically update your ServiceNow ticket as the incident progresses.
• Trigger the creation of a Jeli incident from ServiceNow, moving from queue to coordination quickly and easily.

Create a ServiceNow Ticket From a Jeli Incident

In ServiceNow

📘

ServiceNow Version

The following instructions are based on ServiceNow Vancouver. Configuration in your specific ServiceNow version and instance may vary.

📘

Configuration Note

The create_incident_in_servicenow script has a jeliApiKey variable that needs to be configured. See our API docs for instructions on generating an API key, then update this script to include that value.

1. First, you will add a new Jeli Incident ID field to your Incident object in ServiceNow. Navigate to System Definition Tables search for and select Incident.

2. Click New to add a new field to the Incident table:

   1. Type: Integer
   2. ​Column label: Jeli Incident ID
   3. Column name: u_jeli_incident_id

3. Navigate to System Web Services Scripted REST APIs and click New.

4. Create a new Scripted REST Service by providing a Name and API ID. You could name this service, "Jeli Incoming Webhooks", for example. Click Submit to save.

5. From your new Scripted REST Service, under the Resources tab, click New.

   

6. From your new Scripted REST Resource, enter the following information:

   1. ​Name: Open Incident
   2. ​HTTP Method: POST
   3. Relative path: /open
   4. ​Security tab: Uncheck Requires authentication
   5. Script:

    writer.writeString(JSON.stringify(response_body));response.setContentType('application/json');

})(request, response);

7. Click Update to save.

8. Navigate back to your newly created Scripted REST Service and note the Resource path for your Open Incident resource.

   

In Jeli

1. In the Jeli web app, navigate to Settings Webhooks and select Add webhook.
2. Create a new webhook with the following settings:
   1. Webhook URL: https://<url of your servicenow instance>/<resource path from Step 8 above>
      1. For example, your webhook URL will look something like: https://dev00000.service-now.com/api/1124078/jeli_incoming_webhooks/open
   2. Enabled Upon Creation: Enabled
   3. Event Type Filtering: Select incident.created

You can now test the webhook by creating an incident in Jeli. You shoud see a new ServiceNow incident ticket has been created.

3. Click Update to save.
4. You will now see a Coordinate with Jeli button on your incident form. Clicking this will create an incident in Jeli and Slack, and update the ServiceNow record to include the Jeli incident ID.
