Simple Notification Templating
Whilst ServiceNow has some email templating functionality, I found that it’s was fairly limited and meant that reproduction of work on a regular basis was required. Instead I decided to create a header and footer template that could be reused time and time again. and moreover, a template which was dynamic to the table that …
