Setting up an inbound e-mail action
E-mails are very convenient for users. Many end users like to send an e-mail rather than using a helpdesk application. Service-Now provides an out-of-the-box functionality: an inbound e-mail action for processing incoming e-mails to Service-Now.
Getting ready

How to do it…

Log in to the Service-Now instance using the credentials.
