Overview

This plugin integrates the ServiceNow Virtual Agent in Mattermost. For a stable production release, please download the latest version from the Plugin Marketplace and follow the instructions to install and configure the plugin. If you are a developer and want to work on this plugin, please switch to the Developer docs.

Features

This plugin supports sending text messages to the Virtual Agent through Mattermost and handling/displaying different types of responses from the Virtual Agent. Note- Currently we only support sending text messages and file attachments and displaying text, picker/dropdown and link responses from the Virtual Agent API. Note- For sending file attachments to the Live Agent other than an image, you need to have ServiceNow version >= "San Diego Patch 4". Also, the link of the file attachment sent to the Virtual Agent/Live Agent will be expired in 15 minutes.
