How to integrate Salesforce and ServiceNow with OpsHub Integration Manager

OpsHub Integration Manager integrates Salesforce and ServiceNow bi-directionally. It ensures that all data is available to each user, in that user’s preferred system, with full context, in real-time. All ‘tickets’ from ServiceNow automatically synchronize to Salesforce and all the entities and details associated with the ‘tickets’ synchronize back to Salesforce. Customer priorities, value, and other details available in Salesforce are also visible in the customer account in ServiceNow.

Use Case: Salesforce integration with ServiceNow

Problem statement: The support team has no visibility into the new accounts created by the sales team; therefore, they are not sure which customer accounts are eligible for support.

Solution: If the support system and sales systems are integrated, the support team will have visibility into any new customer accounts created by the sales team.

Let’s look at a use case in which ServiceNow – the support system is linked with Salesforce – the sales system.

  1. Sales team creates an account for a new customer in Salesforce and enables a flag to mark that customer is entitled for support.
  2. The new account synchronizes to ServiceNow and authorizes the associated profiles to create tickets.
  3. When the customer creates a new incident in ServiceNow, OpsHub Integration Manager automatically links the ticket to the company account in ServiceNow. The ticket also synchronizes to Salesforce as a case.
  4. Sales team adds a comment to the case notifying the support team that this is a critical incident.
  5. The support team changes the status of the ticket to ‘active’ and starts work on it immediately.
