The problem

A major incident pages the on-call engineer in PagerDuty while the service desk tracks it in ServiceNow. Without a link between them, acknowledgement and resolution status live in one tool and lag in the other.

The solution

ZigiOps links each PagerDuty incident to its ServiceNow incident and keeps status, urgency and notes synchronized in real time — no scripts, no manual updates.

Beyond the basics

More control over how ServiceNow ↔ PagerDuty syncs

Real-time, continuous sync

Updates flow the moment they happen — no polling delays, no scheduled batch jobs.

Conditional triggers

Scope every sync with filters on service, urgency, escalation policy or any custom field.

Conflict resolution & audit trail

Built-in logic decides which update wins and logs every decision for full traceability.

Automatic recovery

Sync resumes on its own after downtime or network interruptions — nothing to restart by hand.

Safe test mode

Validate field mappings and rules against real data before the integration goes live.

Sync health monitoring

See sync status and catch failures early, without digging through logs.

AI-assisted troubleshooting

When a sync fails, ZigiOps surfaces the likely cause and a suggested fix — no log-diving required.

Real use case

From page to resolved incident

On-call gets paged first; the service desk owns the record. ZigiOps keeps the two aligned from page to resolution.

STEP 1
On-call is paged in PagerDuty

An alert triggers an incident with urgency and escalation policy.

STEP 2
ZigiOps opens a linked incident

A matching ServiceNow incident appears instantly, mapped field-for-field and linked to the page.

STEP 3
Team resolves in ServiceNow

Status and work notes sync back to PagerDuty as the incident is worked.

RESOLVED
Closed in both, no reconciliation

Resolving the incident in ServiceNow closes it in PagerDuty too, with a full audit trail.

ServiceNow ↔ PagerDuty FAQ

Is the ServiceNow–PagerDuty sync bidirectional?

Yes. Incidents stay aligned in both directions in real time, with conflict-resolution logic keeping both systems authoritative.

What fields map between the two?

Incident, urgency ↔ priority, notes ↔ work notes, and acknowledgement ↔ assigned to — all in both directions with full fidelity.

Can I scope the sync to specific PagerDuty services?

Yes. Conditional triggers let you scope the sync by service, urgency or escalation policy, so only the incidents that matter reach ServiceNow.

Does resolving in ServiceNow resolve the PagerDuty incident?

Yes, if configured that way. Resolving the incident in either system can automatically resolve it in the other.

Can I connect multiple PagerDuty services to one ServiceNow instance?

Yes. ZigiOps supports unlimited connections, each with its own field mapping and escalation rules.

Do I need to script anything in ServiceNow or PagerDuty?

No. The entire integration is configured no-code in ZigiOps — no business rules or PagerDuty webhooks to build or maintain.
