Hi All,

LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL 🙂 I hope we all are safe 🙂 STAY SAFE, STAY HEALTHY, STAY HOME 🙂

Use Case / Background: In one of our project we have requirement that – Incident should be created in Service Now when we post message in Teams channel. Since this is new for me so study/learning begins 🙂 and as usual sharing as well 🙂

So first step here I am trying to create the service now connection from Power Automate and hence this article 🙂

Details :

  • To connect to the ServiceNow from Power Automate we need ServiceNow URL (ServiceNow Instance) and ServiceNow account credentials
  • For our demo purpose we will create free ServiceNow developer account

Service Now :

  • ServiceNow allows us to create developer free account.
  • This developer account we can use for connecting the Service Now from Power Automate
  • If you already have Service Now developer account then please skip below step
  • Creating Service Now developer account :
Service Now creating free account - https://developer.servicenow.com/dev.do

  • Once we have user registered, just verify your account by clicking the link from email which you received and we are ready to go

Power Automate :

  • Once we ready to with Service Now developer account we are ready to create the connection to Service Now from Power Automate
  • Go to the Power Automate home page
  • From left side pane, please click on “Connectors” as
Power Automate - Home page, selecting "Connectors" from left side pane

  • From the above Fig5 we will see some useful OOB actions available from Microsoft
  • Select any action, here we will select action say – “Email me a list of ServiceNow Incidents created last week“, and here we need to create the connection to ServiceNow as
