Access Request Status Change - ServiceNow Service Desk Integration

Hi all,

We implemented ServiceNow Service Desk integration and now when we make access request using SailPoint’s request center, it pushes a ServiceNow ticket creation in ServiceNow. I was wondering how we I can update the access request status once the tickets closed in ServiceNow. I noticed that it gets updated after Account Aggregation and if the requested access is already given. But what I need is to update the status in SailPoint nearly real time. I found the following API for this, only wondering how I can use this API to implement this requirement.

get-status-check-details | SailPoint Developer Community

And Idea would be appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Use Update-status-check-details. You won’t be able to do it in real time. We have ours set to 15 minutes, and it works well.

Hi @sahincelik ,
As per my experience and as @Carlatto mentioned 15min would be the least that we can set. I believe there is a limitation/restriction under 15min. So unfortunately you won’t be able to set the config to reflect in real time!

@Carlatto I have another question. Were you able to change the status in SailPoint when the ticket is rejected (closed_incomplete) ? For us, it does not change. (Always in pending status). But I am sure that the it works when the ticket is marked as closed_complete.

Yes the status is updating in ICS when the ServiceNow ticket is rejected. Make sure you add the statuses to the ServiceNow ServiceDesk Integration: https://documentation.sailpoint.com/connectors/servicenow/sdim/help/integrating_servicenow_sdim/status_mapping.html

It will depend on how you have the Integration setup. We use REQ, but the people working tickets only ever change the TASK. I am not a ServiceNow Admin, but there is some sort of process that takes the TASK closure, updates the RITM and then updates the REQ. ISC then see the REQ status.

Thanks @Carlatto, we found the root cause and fixed it. It works indeed and updates the REQ’s status “Contact Hepldesk” in IDN when the ticket when it is rejected. However, when I changed the configuration to update RITMs status, it does not work. Probably, the “Request Root Entitlement” field that I am providing is not correct. Do you have an example for this parameter?

We don’t use RITM, so I don’t know what to use there.
