Hola Community
Here’s an interesting challenge for all the ServiceNow Architects and Developers out there.
🧩 The Scenario
Imagine this:
Your ServiceNow instance already has thousands of email notifications containing Incident record links.
Everything works perfectly… until the business comes with a new requirement:
👉 Some users should open records in Service Operations Workspace (SOW)
👉 Others should continue using the Classic UI
Sounds simple, right?
Well, here’s the twist:
The Constraint
You are NOT allowed to modify any existing email notifications.
Yes… not even a single template. 😅
The Big Question
How would you redirect users to different user experiences dynamically without touching the existing notification links?
Think about:
User roles
UI routing
Redirection strategies
Workspace compatibility
Session-based experience handling
Do You Know the Solution?
Drop your approach in the comments and let’s see how the ServiceNow community would solve this challenge.
