How to connect Google Sheets to ServiceNow
Follow these steps to set up your integration. The entire process takes under 5 minutes.
What you'll need
- An active Google Sheets account
- An active ServiceNow account
- A free DeskFerry account (sign up takes 30 seconds)
- Admin or API access in ServiceNow to authorize the connection
- Step 01
Create your DeskFerry account
Sign up at deskferry.app — it takes 30 seconds and starts a 7-day free trial. You'll land on the dashboard where you can create your first workflow.
- Step 02
Authenticate Google Sheets
Click "Add Connection" and select Google Sheets from the app directory. You'll be redirected to Google Sheets's authorization page. Grant DeskFerry access to your workspaces, databases, pages, and tasks. You select which workspaces the integration can read and write to.
- Step 03
Authenticate ServiceNow
Same process for ServiceNow. Click "Add Connection," select ServiceNow, and authorize access. Grant DeskFerry access to your tickets, contacts, and support queues. You select which ticket views and queues the integration can access.
- Step 04
Choose your trigger
Select what event starts the workflow. For this integration, popular triggers include: new item created in google sheets or new ticket created in servicenow. The trigger fires automatically whenever that event happens — no manual intervention.
- Step 05
Configure the action
Define what happens when the trigger fires. For example: create ticket in servicenow. Map the data fields between Google Sheets and ServiceNow so the right information lands in the right place.
- Step 06
Test and activate

Is my Google Sheets data secure when connected to ServiceNow?

For example, create a workflow where Google Sheets events update ServiceNow, and a separate one where ServiceNow changes sync back to Google Sheets. Each direction is configured independently so you have full control.
