Gmail and ServiceNow integration

Save yourself the work of writing custom integrations for Gmail and ServiceNow and use n8n instead. Build adaptable and scalable Communication, HITL, and Productivity workflows that work with your technology stack. All within a building experience you will love.

How to connect Gmail and ServiceNow

  • Step 1: Create a new workflow
  • Step 2: Add and configure nodes
  • Step 3: Connect
  • Step 4: Customize and extend your integration
  • Step 5: Test and activate your workflow

Step 1: Create a new workflow and add the first step

In n8n, click the "Add workflow" button in the Workflows tab to create a new workflow. Add the starting point – a trigger on when your workflow should run: an app event, a schedule, a webhook call, another workflow, an AI chat, or a manual trigger. Sometimes, the HTTP Request node might already serve as your starting point.

Step 2: Add and configure Gmail and ServiceNow nodes

You can find Gmail and ServiceNow in the nodes panel. Drag them onto your workflow canvas, selecting their actions. Click each node, choose a credential, and authenticate to grant n8n access. Configure Gmail and ServiceNow nodes one by one: input data on the left, parameters in the middle, and output data on the right.

Step 3: Connect Gmail and ServiceNow

A connection establishes a link between Gmail and ServiceNow (or vice versa) to route data through the workflow. Data flows from the output of one node to the input of another. You can have single or multiple connections for each node.

Step 4: Customize and extend your Gmail and ServiceNow integration

Use n8n's core nodes such as If, Split Out, Merge, and others to transform and manipulate data. Write custom JavaScript or Python in the Code node and run it as a step in your workflow. Connect Gmail and ServiceNow with any of n8n’s 1000+ integrations, and incorporate advanced AI logic into your workflows.

Generates Human-Readable Summary** Outputs a structured file report. Routes Alerts Based on Threat Level** Sends a formatted email with the file summary using Gmail. If the file is deemed malicious/suspicious: Creates a file-related incident ticket. Sends an instant Slack alert to notify the team. Tech Stack Used Wazuh** – For endpoint alerting VirusTotal API** – For real-time hash validation n8n** – To orchestrate, parse, enrich, and communicate Slack, Gmail, Incident Tool** – To notify and take action Ideal Use Case This template is designed for security teams looking to automate file threat triage, IOC validation, and alert-to-ticket escalation, with zero human delay. Included Nodes Webhook** (Wazuh) Function** (IOC extraction and summary) HTTP Request** (VirusTotal) If / Switch** (threat level check) Gmail, **Slack, Incident Creation Tips Make sure to add your VirusTotal API key in the HTTP node. Customize the incident creation node to fit your ticketing platform (Jira, ServiceNow, etc.). Add logic to enrich the file alert further using WHOIS or sandbox reports if needed.

Build your own Gmail and ServiceNow integration

Create custom Gmail and ServiceNow workflows by choosing triggers and actions. Nodes come with global operations and settings, as well as app-specific parameters that can be configured. You can also use the HTTP Request node to query data from any app or service with a REST API.
