Preface

Introduction


Communication and notification are two essential pillars of the IT service management application. Therefore, Service-Now has an inbuilt functionality to send or receive e-mails from mailboxes or user accounts like other enterprise applications. To send an e-mail notification from a Service-Now instance, you will have to configure the e-mail notification to trigger end users. In many cases, customers ask for a functionality to log a ticket via e-mail, but you should not worry as Service-Now provides this functionality out of the box.
