Make Cresta act in ServiceNow — safely

Cresta resolves the conversation; Upware carries the outcome into ServiceNow — creating the incident, updating state, and leaving an attribution trail before the call ends.

The gap

Cresta stops at the ServiceNow boundary

Cresta improves the conversation, but acting on its outcome across CRM and service systems needs a governed execution path.

In practice

From call resolution to ticket closed

A customer calls about a failed VPN rollout that's blocking her entire department. Cresta's agent surfaces the right troubleshooting steps and confirms the issue warrants an incident. The moment the agent reaches that decision, Upware fires: it opens a Priority-2 incident in ServiceNow, sets assignment to the network-ops group, posts a structured work note with call details, and advances the approval task for emergency-change review. The customer gets a reference number before she hangs up. Every field write carries the Cresta agent's identity in the audit trail — no manual hand-off, no attribution gap, full SLA clock running from the right timestamp.

The harness

AI to learn. Deterministic to execute.

Upware learns the process once and encodes it as a mostly-deterministic workflow: system interactions replay exactly, and any LLM steps are wrapped in policy, verification, and audit — so execution stays governed and drift-proof.

O
Observe & Learn
Records the real workflow once, across every system it touches.
G
Generate
Builds the API, data flow, and logic automatically — no integration project.
E
Encapsulate
Wraps it as a governed AI skill over secure MCP or API.
R
Run
Executes deterministically — RBAC, audit, and scale built in.
FAQ

Common questions

Cresta already integrates with some CRMs. Why do we need Upware on top of that?
Native CRM connectors handle the basics, but ServiceNow ITSM is a different surface — incident lifecycle, change approvals, SLA timers, work notes — and Cresta has no native write path there. Upware learns the exact ServiceNow workflows your team actually runs, encapsulates them as governed AI skills over MCP, and enforces RBAC so the Cresta agent can only touch what it's authorized to. You get cross-system execution without building a custom integration or waiting on a vendor roadmap.
How does the audit trail work, and does it satisfy our SLA and compliance requirements?
Every action Upware takes in ServiceNow is logged: which agent triggered it, which skill ran, what fields changed, and when. That attribution record lives in Upware's audit trail alongside the ServiceNow event history, so you have a correlated view across both systems. Because execution is deterministic — replaying the exact steps Upware learned rather than asking an LLM to improvise — you can predict what will be written and defend it to auditors. SLA obligations that depend on incident-creation timestamps get accurate, system-stamped data from the moment the action fires.
Our ServiceNow instance is on-prem and locked down. Can Upware still reach it?
Yes. Upware's on-prem bridge runs inside your network and makes only outbound connections back to the Upware engine — no inbound firewall rules, no VPN tunnel for us to manage. It learned your ServiceNow workflows by recording the desktop interactions your team already uses, so it doesn't need a public API or admin-level service account with broad access. The bridge client handles the local calls; your security team controls what the bridge is permitted to do through policy and RBAC settings on the Upware side.
