Frequently asked questions about ServiceNow and Smartsheet
Setup happens in Unito: connect your ServiceNow and Smartsheet accounts, then choose which incidents, cases or tasks sync with your sheet. For each step, see our ServiceNow + Smartsheet integration guide.
Yes. Flow rules turn matching incidents into rows on a destination sheet. Priority, status, assignment group, and resolution time sync into columns and stay current both ways.
Yes. Approval state syncs as a Smartsheet custom field. Sheet picklist values map to the corresponding ServiceNow field with item matching to prevent duplicate rows.
Yes. Parent incidents sync as rows. Incident tasks sync as sub-rows. Lookup fields resolve correctly so the portfolio view matches the ServiceNow source.
It’s bidirectional. ServiceNow display name, description and state, plus Smartsheet primary and custom columns, can sync two-way. Direction is set per field, separate from which tool may create new items, so even a one-way flow can update fields both ways.
Yes. Smartsheet custom columns sync two-way, and custom fields map by type (text to text, date to date and so on), with most types able to fall back to a text field. Each mapping can be one-way or two-way, though some are forced one-way when the other tool has no equivalent.
No developer or coding is needed. Unito is a no-code, point-and-click setup, and a flow syncing ServiceNow incidents, cases or tasks with Smartsheet rows can be built in minutes. Tool-specific admin or API steps for enterprise tools can add some time.
