Phrase - ServiceNow Integration and Automation

Common Integration Use Cases Between Phrase and ServiceNow

1. ServiceNow knowledge article localization workflow

Data flow: ServiceNow ? Phrase ? ServiceNow

When support teams create or update knowledge base articles in ServiceNow, the content can be sent to Phrase for translation into required languages. Once translations are completed and approved, the localized versions are returned to ServiceNow and published to the appropriate knowledge bases.

• Improves self-service for global customers and employees
• Reduces manual copy and paste between teams
• Ensures consistent terminology across support content

2. Multilingual service portal content updates

Data flow: ServiceNow ? Phrase ? ServiceNow

ServiceNow service portal pages, banners, help text, and form labels can be routed to Phrase whenever new content is created or existing content changes. Translated content is then synchronized back into ServiceNow to keep the portal aligned across all supported languages.

• Speeds up multilingual portal launches
• Supports consistent customer and employee experiences
• Reduces localization delays for service communications

3. Incident and major incident communication localization

Data flow: ServiceNow ? Phrase ? ServiceNow

For major incidents, planned maintenance, or outage notifications, ServiceNow can send communication templates to Phrase for translation. Approved localized messages can then be reused in ServiceNow for email alerts, portal announcements, and status updates.

• Enables faster global incident response communications
• Improves clarity for non-English speaking users
• Helps standardize crisis messaging across regions

4. Change request and release note translation

Data flow: ServiceNow ? Phrase ? ServiceNow

Change management teams can submit release notes, maintenance notices, and change summaries from ServiceNow to Phrase for translation. The localized versions can be published back into ServiceNow and distributed to regional stakeholders.

• Reduces risk of miscommunication during changes
• Improves adoption of new releases across markets

5. Employee service catalog localization

Data flow: ServiceNow ? Phrase ? ServiceNow

HR, IT, and facilities service catalog items in ServiceNow can be translated through Phrase so employees can request services in their preferred language. This includes request descriptions, approval instructions, and fulfillment guidance.

6. Translation request intake and status tracking in ServiceNow

• Improves visibility for stakeholders and approvers
• Supports SLA tracking and operational reporting

7. Localization issue management and quality feedback loop

Data flow: Bi-directional

If ServiceNow users identify translation defects, terminology issues, or missing localized content, they can log incidents or cases in ServiceNow. Those issues can be sent to Phrase as feedback for correction, and resolution status can be returned to ServiceNow for tracking and audit purposes.

• Establishes a controlled process for translation quality management
• Helps localization teams prioritize high-impact fixes
• Provides traceability for recurring content issues

8. Automated multilingual onboarding and policy content delivery

Data flow: ServiceNow ? Phrase ? ServiceNow
