A ServiceNow-Salesforce Perspectium SIAM Integration allows you to easily share and integrate your incident and case records between ServiceNow and Salesforce instances. To get started with your ServiceNow-Salesforce SIAM Integration, follow the steps in this guide for ServiceNow-side Installation and Configuration as well as Salesforce-side Configuration.

To begin integrating Salesforce with your ServiceNow instance via Perspectium SIAM, first request the download links for the following Perspectium for ServiceNow update sets from support@perspectium.com:

1. Perspectium for ServiceNow update set
2. Perspectium for Common Endpoint update set
3. Perspectium Common Document update sets (Common Incident, Common Change, Common Problem, Common Request)

After obtaining these update sets, follow the steps to install your update sets for the first time. If upgrading from a previous update set version, follow the steps for upgrading your update sets.

In order to receive messages from Salesforce, you will need to create a subscribed queue in ServiceNow. By default, Perspectium's Message Broker Service (MBS) will push messages from Salesforce out to psp.out.servicenow.your_company_here.

To create a subscribed queue:

1. In the left side navigation window, navigate to Perspectium > Replicator > Subscribed Queues or simply type Subscribed Queues to access the Subscribed Queues form.
2. Click New to create a new subscribed queue record.
3. In the Name field, type psp.out.servicenow.your_company_here. Then, check the box marked Active to activate the queue.
4. Type your MBS username, password, and encryption key in the appropriate fields. NOTE: This information can be found by navigating to Perspectium > Properties.
5. Click Get Queue Status to verify that the queue is active. Then, click Submit to save your newly created subscribed queue.

After creating your subscribed queue, you will next need to create a shared queues for your Salesforce instance to share to.

1. In the left side navigation window, navigate to Perspectium > Replicator > Shared Queues or simply type Shared Queues to access the Shared Queues form.
2. Click New to create a new shared queue record.
3. In the Name field, type psp.in.siam.client.salesforce. Then, check the box marked Active to activate the queue.
4. Type your MBS username, password, and encryption key in the appropriate fields. NOTE: This information can be found by navigating to Perspectium > Properties.
5. Click Get Queue Status to verify that the queue is active. Then, click Submit to save your newly created shared queue.

To create a dynamic share for your ServiceNow-Salesforce SIAM integration, follow these steps:

1. In ServiceNow's left side navigation bar, navigate to Perspectium > Replicator > Dynamic Share or simply type dynamic share in the navigation window to access the Dynamic Share form.
2. Click New to create a new dynamic share.
3. Type any Name for your dynamic share. Then, choose the table you want to share to from the Table dropdown.
4. Check the Active box to activate your dynamic share.
5. Choose your trigger conditions on the Trigger Conditions tab. Then, click the Additional Settings tab.
6. Select the table map for Salesforce based on the type of process you are integrating (incident, change, problem, or request).
7. In the Target Queue field, type psp.in.siam.client.salesforce.
8. Click the Filter and Enrichment tab and add the code below to the Before share script. After adding this code, click Submit to finish creating your dynamic share.

if (psp_action == 'update' && current.correlation_id == ''){
	psp_action = 'deferred';
}

You will need to add a onAfter transform script so that ServiceNow will know how to handle, update, and direct the values for inbound messages from Salesforce.

To add the onAfter transform scripts:

1. Click back into the inbound transform map you just created and click the Transform Scripts tab.
2. Select onAfter from the When dropdown.
3. Add the code for onAfter Script below within the scripting window. Then, click Submit.

onAfter Script:

//acknowledge
(function runTransformScript(source, map, log, target /*undefined onStart*/ ) {

if(source.u_action != "incident_created" && (source.u_number != "" || source.u_sys_id != "")){
return;
}

var qgr = new GlideRecord("u_psp_queues");
var queue = "";
qgr.addQuery("u_name", "psp.in.siam.client.salesforce");
qgr.query();
if (!qgr.next()){
return;
}

queue = qgr.sys_id;
var qc = new GlideRecord("psp_replicate_conf");
qc.addQuery("table_name", "incident");
qc.addQuery("u_target_queue", qgr.sys_id);
qc.query();
if (!qc.next()){
return;
}

var gr = new GlideRecord("incident");
gr.addQuery("sys_id", target.sys_id);
gr.query();
if (gr.next()){
var pspR = new PerspectiumReplicator();
pspR.shareRecord(gr, "incident", "update", qc.sys_id, "cipher=3,SIAM_provider=salesforce");
}
})(source, map, log, target);

NOTE: To install and configure Perspectium for Salesforce using the Salesforce Lightning UI, see Salesforce SIAM.

To install the Perspectium for Salesforce package on your Salesforce instance, follow the steps described here.

Then, configure your Salesforce Organization by following the steps described here.

Creating a custom case field will allow for the storing of ServiceNow incident numbers when messages are sent over to ServiceNow.

2. For the Queue Name field, type psp.in.siam.provider.salesforce.

4. Add your Perspectium MBS credentials in the associated fields. Then, click Save.

A dynamic share table is necessary for records to be sent out to ServiceNow upon creation, update, or deletion.

To create a Salesforce dynamic share:

2. Type any Name for your dynamic share.
3. Select Case from the Table dropdown.

Optionally, you can check Include Attachments if you want to send out attachments along with your Salesforce case records. You also have the option to create Filters here for your Salesforce dynamic share if you wish.
6. For the Target Queue, select psp.in.siam.client.salesforce.
7. Scroll to the bottom of the screen and click Save. All other required fields will then be created automatically. To complete the configuration of your Salesforce dynamic share, click Save Trigger.
