Hooq for ServiceNow preview notes

What works on our test instances today, what is coming soon, and how two instances connect.

Status

What the preview is

Hooq for ServiceNow is in preview. It is tested on our own test instances and is not available to install. There is no release date yet.

It is for ServiceNow administrators who want records in sync with another instance, without a server in the middle. Administrators connect the two instances, choose what syncs, then publish and start.

  • ServiceNow and Jira Cloud. A ServiceNow record and its Jira work item, on a Jira Cloud instance that has Hooq.
  • Two ServiceNow instances. A record on one ServiceNow instance and its copy on the other.
In the preview today

Works today

Each line below works on our own test instances. Nothing else is claimed.

Connect ServiceNow with Jira Cloud, or with another ServiceNow instance. Two administrators connect the two instances.

New records follow to the other side. Between two ServiceNow instances, both ways. With Jira, a new ServiceNow record creates a Jira work item, and a new Jira work item creates the ServiceNow record.

Edits and state changes follow. Edits to the synced fields of a record follow both ways. A state change is applied by the receiving side, so its own rules apply: for example a Problem needs an assignee and a Change request needs an assignment group before it can leave New. A Change request state change made on the second ServiceNow instance is not yet proven.

Comments and work notes follow. Between two ServiceNow instances, both ways. With Jira, comments follow both ways and work notes arrive in Jira. With Jira Service Management, work notes become internal notes.

Attachments follow. Between two ServiceNow instances, files arrive unchanged and a file sent twice is stored once. Between ServiceNow and Jira, attachments follow too.

Only the records you choose. Limit a sync to the records that match a condition.

Set up from screens in ServiceNow. Create a Hooq step by step, save a draft, publish, start and stop.

Tables in IT Service Management, between two ServiceNow instances. Incident, Problem, Change request, Catalog task and Requested item, both ways.

With Jira Service Management. Incident, Change request and Requested item pair with Jira Service Management Incident, Change and Service request work items: edits, public comments, internal notes and status follow both ways. When a request type is set they become customer requests. A Problem pairs with a Jira Problem work item: new records, edits and comments follow, and a status follows only to a status the Jira workflow allows.

With Jira projects. ServiceNow incident, story, epic, scrum task and feature records pair with Jira work items. A Jira Epic, Story, Task or Sub-task with its parent link pairs with an epic, story or scrum task.

Tables in Agile Development, between two ServiceNow instances. Epic, Story, Scrum task and Feature, both ways. A story keeps its epic and a scrum task keeps its story.

Tables in Strategic Portfolio Management, between two ServiceNow instances. Project and Project task, both ways: new records, edits, comments and work notes, and the project of a task.

How it connects

Signed requests, both ways. Every request between two instances is signed. A request that is sent again is refused.

No Hooq server in between. Each instance sends its changes straight to the other. Hooq has no server, database or storage of its own.

Nothing syncs before administrators publish. Administrators connect the two instances and choose what syncs. Nothing syncs until they publish the settings and start the Hooq, and they can stop it at any time.
