How OpsHub Integration Manager integrates ServiceNow, Azure DevOps Server, and Slack

OpsHub Integration Manager integrates ServiceNow, Azure DevOps Server, and Slack seamlessly. It ensures that all historical and current 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 Slack as cards with all the details. The backend team members using Azure DevOps Server also have access to cards in Slack. The details related to the entities discussed in the card also simultaneously synchronize to ServiceNow and Azure DevOps Server.

Use Case: ServiceNow integration with Slack and Azure DevOps Server integration

Problem statement: Service & support team raises an issue highlighted by the client to the back-end team via email. Someone in the back-end team resolves the issue but forgets to inform the service & support team that the highlighted issue has been resolved. As the client doesn’t get an update about the highlighted issue in the time agreed on the SLA, the client escalates this problem.

Solution: The issue got escalated because the service & support team and the back-end operations team failed to exchange the requisite information in time and pass it on to the client. This is a classic case of communication gap in a heterogeneous ecosystem, which can be resolved by introducing an effective integration solution.

  1. A customer faces an issue in resetting the password of a user and logs an ‘Incident’ ticket in ServiceNow.
  2. A support representative analyzes the issue and concludes that there is a defect in the product.
  3. OpsHub Integration Manager identifies the ‘Incident’ logged in ServiceNow and propagates it as ‘Defect’ in Azure DevOps Server.
  4. The backend team traces the ‘Incident’ ticket as ‘Defect’. All the details entered by the customer are visible to them.
  5. The backend team examines the defect, resolves it, and updates its status as ‘Fixed’.
  6. OpsHub Integration Manager communicates the change in the status of the ‘Defect’ to Service Now. The status of the ‘Incident’ in Service Now changes accordingly.
