The workflow also provides user-friendly notifications when no matching tickets are found, ensuring users are always informed of the query status.
Core Problems Addressed
- Resolves the inability to directly query ServiceNow tickets within Slack, enabling users to quickly check ticket statuses without switching applications.
- Optimizes the presentation of query results for clarity and emphasis, enhancing collaboration efficiency.
- Automatically determines whether matching tickets exist and promptly delivers feedback through different channels (channel or direct message), preventing information loss or communication gaps.
Use Cases
- IT support teams needing to quickly retrieve ServiceNow tickets filtered by priority and status directly from Slack for troubleshooting and response.
- Operations or customer service personnel searching tickets within Slack to avoid toggling between multiple systems, improving work efficiency.

Main Workflow Steps
- Webhook Listener: Listens for interaction events sent from Slack (such as modal requests, button clicks, and form submissions).
- Request Parsing: Extracts detailed payload from Slack interactions and identifies the type of user operation.
- Respond to Slack Modal Request: Calls Slack API to open a modal with priority and status selection fields; users fill in query criteria and select the channel to receive results.
- Close Modal and Query ServiceNow: Upon user submission, closes the modal and calls ServiceNow API to retrieve tickets based on the specified criteria.
- Result Evaluation and Handling:
- If matching tickets exist, sorts them by ticket number in descending order, retains the latest 5 tickets, and formats ticket details.
- If no matching tickets are found, sends a no-match notification either to the selected channel or directly to the user, depending on the selection.
- Result Delivery: Sends the formatted ticket information as Slack Block Kit messages to the designated channel or user direct message.
- Button Event Response: Returns HTTP 200 to Slack button click events to prevent UI errors.
