Use teams in Live Feed

Users can be combined into teams for the purpose of subscribing to specifically-focused feeds.

Teams can be created based on any criteria that makes sense for your organization. For example, you can create a team called IT Developers and subscribe the team to feeds such as Coding Standards, AngularJS Development, and ServiceNow Customization Best Practices. When a new developer is added to the IT Developers team, that user automatically has rights to participate in all of the feeds followed by the team.

Automatic team creation

If you create a record on a table that has Live Feed enabled, such as the Incident table, and click Follow/Show Live Feed for the record, a record feed is created for the record.

The record feed name is based on the table name.

Reply to email notifications using email

After receiving an email about a posted message or a reply, you can post your reply to Live Feed by responding to the email.

The body of the email reply is posted as a response to the Live Feed message. Any attachments that you include in your reply email are also posted in the Live Feed reply.
