Manage a proactive case created from an alert

Work on a proactive case and resolve the proactive case as you would other customer service cases.

Before you begin

Role required:

  • sn_customerservice_agent
  • evt_mgmt_admin and evt_mgmt_operator have read-only access to a case created from an alert and can add work notes, as required.

About this task

Note: This task only applies if you are using Event Management integration on CSM Agent Workspace or the ServiceNow AI Platform interface.

Review proactive cases created from alerts using Agent Workspace. Identify customers, their corresponding install base items affected by the issue causing the alert as well as the service health for each affected install base item. Depending on the number of customers affected, you can propose a proactive case as a major case.

    Alternatively, accept a proactive case from your Agent Workspace inbox.
