Its hard to talk about supported fields, because with Exalate you can support a lot. And it is impossible to capture on a single page. We have done cases with very weird things - certainly not limited to the ones listed on the documentation.

The fact that Exalate is a very extensible and flexible product is quite an impressive feature for us. We can even build our own integration on top of it, and it actually shows that the developers and the engineers behind the product do really know what they are doing. Plus we have had an excellent customer experience.

Simple or Advanced, We Got you Covered
Work with simple integration templates or completely customize your sync between ServiceNow and Jira.
Default Sync
Bi-directionally sync new and existing comments, descriptions, attachments, statuses, priorities, urgencies, work logs, and much more between Jira and ServiceNow. Use triggers to exert granular control over how the sync works.
if(entityType == “changeRequest”) {
replica.summary = changeRequest.short_description replica.description = changeRequest.description replica.comments = changeRequest.comments replica.attachments = changeRequest.attachments
///other fields supported by the Change request entity
Sync ServiceNow Change Request with Jira Issues
Keep customers informed about product changes in real time. Create change tasks for dedicated teams.
if(entityType == “changeRequest”) {
replica.summary = changeRequest.short_description replica.description = changeRequest.description replica.comments = changeRequest.comments replica.attachments = changeRequest.attachments
///other fields supported by the Change request entity
Sync Priority between ServiceNow and Jira
Maintain uniformity across all platforms. Give your ServiceNow entity the same level of priority or urgency as the Jira Issue.
. . .
def priorityMapping = [
“1 – Critical”: “High”,
“2 – High”: “High”,
“3 – Moderate”: “Medium”,
“4 – Low”: “Low”,
“5 – Planning”: “Lowest” ]
issue.priority = nodeHelper.getPriority(priorityName)
Store Correlation Details for Remote Entity
Use correlation fields to establish a relationship between local and remote systems. Store unique entity IDs, URLs, or other remote records in Jira and ServiceNow.
// retrieve the twin url from the incoming message
import groovy.json.JsonSlurper
def issueUrl = new JsonSlurper().parseText(syncRequest.replica.payload).get(“issueUrl”)
// setting the fields correlation_id and u_issue_key
entity.correlation_id = replica.key
entity.correlation_display = issueUrl
“
