Search Users

Update a user profile in Service Now. Use this card to search for a user in ServiceNow and return the system ID of that user. You can use that user’s system ID in other cards to assign them issues, read their information, or perform other tasks.

Unless otherwise indicated, field type is text.

NOTE: The input fields on this card are dynamically generated based on your ServiceNow instance. The input fields will include these default fields provided by ServiceNow (First name, Last name, Email, etc.) as well as any custom fields you’ve added to your user table.

NOTE: Each search field is considered cumulative, meaning that if you enter an email and a first name, the result will be the user who matches both that email and that first name.

Input

• Active (true / false): status of the new user account
• Business phone: user’s business phone number
