How to Display ServiceNow Record Links in Virtual Agent Conversations like Slack and TeamsIssue <!-- /*NS Branding Styles*/ --> .ns-kb-css-body-editor-container { p { font-size: 12pt; font-family: Lato; color: #000000; } span { font-size: 12pt; font-family: Lato; color: #000000; } h2 { font-size: 24pt; font-family: Lato; color: black; } h3 { font-size: 18pt; font-family: Lato; color: black; } h4 { font-size: 14pt; font-family: Lato; color: black; } a { font-size: 12pt; font-family: Lato; color: #00718F; } a:hover { font-size: 12pt; color: #024F69; } a:target { font-size: 12pt; color: #032D42; } a:visited { font-size: 12pt; color: #00718f; } ul { font-size: 12pt; font-family: Lato; } li { font-size: 12pt; font-family: Lato; } img { display: ; max-width: ; width: ; height: ; } } Use Case: When incidents (or other ServiceNow records) are created through Virtual Agent channels such as Slack or Teams, the response card may include a hyperlink pointing to a specific portal like /sp. To ensure users are directed to the appropriate experience, you can configure navigation rules to redirect these links to a different portal such as /esc. This configuration is not limited to the Service Portal (SP) or Employee Center (ESC)—these are just examples. The same approach can be applied to any other portals based on your organization’s setup and user experience goals.

For example, incident links typically default to the fallback mapping for the Task table, which usually points to the Service Portal (/sp). However, you can customize this behavior to open links in a different portal—such as the Employee Center (/esc)—by configuring URL navigation rules.Steps to create URL navigation rules : Navigate to All > Conversational Interfaces > Settings.Click View All under URL Navigation.Click New to create a new mapping or select an existing one to update.In the Table field, select the relevant table (e.g., incident).In the Portal field, choose the desired portal (e.g., Employee Center).In the Value field, enter the URL format: /esc?id=ticket&sys_id={{data.sys_id}}&table={{data.table_name}}(Optional) Add channel or device-specific conditions if needed.Click Submit or Update to save the mapping.
