How to connect Microsoft Teams to ServiceNow
Follow these steps to set up your integration. The entire process takes under 5 minutes.
What you'll need
- An active Microsoft Teams account with permission to install apps
- 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 Microsoft Teams
Click "Add Connection" and select Microsoft Teams from the app directory. You'll be redirected to Microsoft Teams's authorization page. Grant DeskFerry permission to read and post messages in your selected channels. You control which channels the integration can access.
- 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 message received in microsoft teams 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 Microsoft Teams and ServiceNow so the right information lands in the right place.
- Step 06
Test and activate
Run a test to confirm data flows correctly between Microsoft Teams and ServiceNow. Check that the fields map as expected, then toggle the workflow on. It runs 24/7 from here — DeskFerry handles retries, error logging, and monitoring automatically.

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