OpenText Exstream - ServiceNow Integration and Automation

Common Integration Use Cases Between OpenText Exstream and ServiceNow

1. Automated customer correspondence triggered by ServiceNow case or incident events

Data flow: ServiceNow to OpenText Exstream

• When a customer-facing case, complaint, outage ticket, or service request reaches a defined status in ServiceNow, Exstream generates a personalized letter, email, or statement insert.
• Examples include claim acknowledgment letters, service restoration notices, billing adjustments, or regulatory notifications.
• This reduces manual document creation, improves response times, and ensures consistent messaging across channels.

2. Policy, claim, or service document generation from approved ServiceNow workflows

Data flow: ServiceNow to OpenText Exstream

• ServiceNow workflow approvals can trigger Exstream to produce finalized customer documents after internal review is complete.
• Typical use cases include policy documents, claim determination letters, account change confirmations, and exception notices.
• Business teams gain a controlled handoff from operational approval to compliant customer communication.

3. Customer communication tracking and delivery status updates back into ServiceNow

Data flow: OpenText Exstream to ServiceNow

• Exstream can send document generation, dispatch, and delivery status back to ServiceNow for visibility within the case or request record.
• Agents can see whether a statement, notice, or letter was created, sent, returned, or failed.
• This improves auditability, reduces duplicate follow-up, and helps service teams answer customer inquiries faster.

4. Complaint and dispute handling with templated response generation

Data flow: ServiceNow to OpenText Exstream, then OpenText Exstream to ServiceNow

• ServiceNow captures complaint details, categorization, and resolution decisions.
• Exstream uses that data to generate standardized response letters or emails with the correct legal and regulatory wording.
• Delivery confirmation and document references are written back to ServiceNow for case closure and compliance tracking.
• This supports consistent handling of regulated customer disputes and escalations.

5. Proactive outage, maintenance, or service change notifications

Data flow: ServiceNow to OpenText Exstream

• When ServiceNow major incident, change, or maintenance records are approved, Exstream generates targeted customer notifications based on impacted geography, product, or account segment.
• Messages can be delivered through print, email, or digital channels depending on customer preference and urgency.
• This helps utilities, insurers, and financial institutions communicate service impacts quickly and consistently.

6. Statement and billing exception communication for customer service teams

Data flow: ServiceNow to OpenText Exstream

• If a customer raises a billing issue in ServiceNow, the case can trigger Exstream to create a corrected statement, explanation of charges, or payment reminder.
• Service agents can request a reprint or resend without leaving the ServiceNow workflow.
• This shortens resolution time and reduces back-and-forth between operations and customer service.

7. Compliance-driven correspondence approval and archival workflow

Data flow: Bi-directional

• ServiceNow manages approval, review, and exception handling for regulated communications before Exstream sends them.
• After delivery, Exstream returns the final rendered document, version, and timestamp to ServiceNow for audit records.
• This creates a controlled end-to-end process for legal notices, policy changes, and other sensitive communications.

8. Agent-assisted document requests from ServiceNow service catalog or case management

Data flow: ServiceNow to OpenText Exstream

• ServiceNow catalog items or case actions can allow agents to request duplicate statements, policy copies, welcome packs, or account letters from Exstream.
• The request is fulfilled automatically using customer and account data already available in ServiceNow.
• This reduces manual fulfillment effort and improves the customer experience through faster turnaround.
