Connector Technical Specs
Integration Overview
How TackQuote connects with ServiceNow
Eliminate manual data entry, prevent shipping or pricing errors, and streamline B2B order execution.
When a quote needs to become work in your service desk, TackQuote raises the record for you. It creates a ServiceNow record through the Table API — incident by default, or whichever table you nominate — with the quote number, company, requester, and total in the description, and with correlation_id set to the quote and correlation_display naming TackQuote, so the record can be traced back to where it came from. The sys_id, record number, and a deep link land back on the quote. Buyer-facing notes are copied, internal notes deliberately are not: margin and strategy detail has no business in a ticket the customer's whole organisation can read.

Keep buyer company profiles, primary decision-makers, and rep assignments in sync with ServiceNow.
Quote PDF & Digital Proposal Link

Rep Activity Audit Logging

Capabilities
What's included in the ServiceNow connector
Built out-of-the-box for enterprise sales teams, distributors, and manufacturers.
Incident From A Quote
Create a ServiceNow record from a quote with its number, company, requester, and total in the description — written through the Table API and returning the real record number.
Correlated Both Ways
The record carries correlation_id (the quote) and correlation_display (TackQuote), and the sys_id, number, and a deep link are stored back on the quote.
Your Table, Not Just Incident
Incident is the default, and you can point the connector at a different table when your process calls for it.
Buyer Notes Only
Buyer-facing notes are copied onto the record; internal notes are not. Margin and strategy detail stays inside TackQuote.
Setup Guide
4 steps to connect ServiceNow
TackQuote posts to /api/now/table/{table} on your instance using a ServiceNow account over HTTP Basic, then persists the created record onto the quote.
Prepare a ServiceNow account
Create or nominate an integration user with create access on the target table. On newer instances an admin also has to allow Basic auth API access for that account.
Connect in TackQuote
Enter your instance URL, username, and password in TackQuote Integrations → ServiceNow, and optionally the table to write to. Credentials are validated against the instance before saving.
Raise a record from a quote
From a quote, create the ServiceNow record. TackQuote builds the description from the quote and returns the real record number, not a placeholder.
Follow the link either direction
The quote shows the record number and a deep link into your instance; the record's correlation fields point back at the quote.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about ServiceNow
Can TackQuote create a Service Catalog request instead of an incident?
Not today. Catalog requests go through the Service Catalog API and need a catalog-item sys_id TackQuote has no way to know, so records are created through the Table API — incident by default, or another table you nominate.
Why were my correct credentials rejected with a 401?
Newer ServiceNow instances restrict HTTP Basic by default. An admin needs to grant the account snc_basic_auth_api_access, mark it Web Services Access Only, or relax the instance's Basic Auth restriction. TackQuote reports this explicitly instead of implying a bad password.
Why does a 404 say "permissions or not found"?
Because in ServiceNow it genuinely is ambiguous — a 404 can be an ACL denial rather than a missing table. TackQuote surfaces the ambiguity rather than guessing which one it was.
