ServiceNow and Workflows

In this blog post, we’ll explore how ServiceNow’s innovative approach to workflow management is revolutionizing businesses, streamlining processes, and driving operational excellence.
Before we start talking about Service Now’s innovation let’s get a brief idea about what is a workflow.
What is a workflow?
A workflow is a process involving many stakeholders or touchpoints who are interconnected and interdependent and the process outcome cannot be achieved by a single person. However, what is a workflow?
A ServiceNow workflow is a series of connected steps or activities or tasks that automate and orchestrate the execution of business processes within the ServiceNow platform.
A workflow can also be defined as a task flow, as the entire process is divided into multiple subtasks and linked into a single workflow.
These workflows/ task flows define the sequence of actions, approvals and notifications required to complete a task or process, ensuring consistency, efficiency, and compliance across the organization.
There are 4 main types of workflows on the Service Now Platform:
Technology workflows
Customer workflows
Employee workflows
Creator workflows
