Marketing Application

After a marketing request is submitted via the Marketing Catalog, the Marketing application in ServiceNow is used to fulfill those requests.

Marketing Service Management uses state flows and workflow to automate the delivery process.  This speeds service fulfillment, creates repeatable processes, and ensures the correct agent is assigned to complete the request.

The Marketing Service Management process (from the ServiceNow wiki)

1. Users submit marketing requests through the service catalog.
2. Based on settings in the Marketing Service Management Configuration, the request transitions through states based on actions performed through the request.
3. When the request has been fulfilled by the marketing team, the request is closed.
