ServiceNow can own assignment while Connect owns the conversation, if you map the queues on purpose.
The ServiceNow document describes importing contact flows, optional Advanced Work Assignment routing, hold audio no longer than 5 seconds, and transfer-to-agent and transfer-to-queue flows. Queues in Connect get matching AWA queues. AI voice agents, if you bought them, plug into the inbound flow through a flow module.
Oauth and Lambda setup is part of the guide. That Lambda is subject to the same 8-second contract as any other.
- A 5-second hold file is a hard constraint in that guide. Do not upload a 30-second loop and wonder.
- Map queues by name in a table you review.
- The placeholder phone channel is not a real number.
- Test transfer flows. They are shared with ITSM in the guide's description.
Number on this page: Hold file 5s. ServiceNow's stated maximum
Glossary
- Salesforce CTI Adapter A managed package plus a serverless app that embeds the CCP in Salesforce.
- SCC-AC Salesforce Contact Center with Amazon Connect. Voice stays on Connect. Messaging can be Connect or Salesforce.
- ServiceNow Voice The ServiceNow integration that imports flows, maps queues to Advanced Work Assignment, and can attach AI voice agents.
- Teams chat bridge A published pattern: a Teams app, Azure Bot Service, API Gateway, Lambda, and StartChatContact. It is chat, not a phone trunk.

Sister technologies
The CRM, the PBX, and the chat client each own a different seam. Mixing them up builds a transfer that pops the wrong record.
Config and troubleshooting
Turning on AWA and Connect routing and letting both choose an agent.
Salesforce and ServiceNow do not receive contact attributes unless you write them and call out. The association is what lets the flow invoke the function that sets the customer id.

Cross-platform bridges
A CUCM calling search space is not a routing profile, but the profile is the closest idea of 'who can receive what'. A partition is not a Connect object. A UCCX CSQ and a UCCE skill group map to a queue. Precision steps map to routing criteria. A script, an Architect flow, and an Avaya vector map to a contact flow.

Future hooks
Hooks you can adopt later: EventBridge contact events, the CTR stream, agent events, Kinesis Video, Customer Profiles events, Cases, Show view, data tables, External Tool, and the flow language JSON in your pipeline. Live Sync and Agentic CX are the 2026 hooks for guided and agentic experiences.
