Integrating voice assistant with CCaaS provider
Summarize
Summary of Integrating voice assistant with CCaaS provider
ServiceNow enables integration of its AI voice assistant with supported third-party Contact Center as a Service (CCaaS) providers. This integration allows users to receive voice-based support via ServiceNow AI voice agents, improving customer interaction through telephony or mobile app channels. When configuring a voice assistant, you define communication channels and select a CCaaS provider to deploy the assistant.

Communication Channels
- Telephony provider: Connects the voice assistant to phone networks using various CCaaS providers.
- Web Real-Time Communication (WebRTC): Connects the voice assistant to mobile applications for real-time voice support.
Each communication channel type requires selecting the appropriate CCaaS provider. You can unlink providers if needed.
Supported Telephony Providers and Configuration
ServiceNow supports multiple CCaaS providers, each requiring specific configuration fields to enable integration.
- Twilio Voice Service (WebSocket): Configure phone number for live agent transfer, authentication token, and use the autogenerated connection URL.
- Genesys Voice Service (Audio Connector): Uses WebSocket channel. After setup, copy autogenerated base connection URI, connector ID, client secret, and API key to your Genesys Cloud account to complete integration.
- Genesys Voice Service (SIP): Uses SIP protocol. Configure transfer number/address in SIP URI format, and utilize read-only fields like transfer method (REFER), ServiceNow SIP trunk domain, and authentication token for secure connection.
- Amazon Connect (PSTN): Integration uses BYE as transfer method. Provides read-only URLs, call context API credentials (mTLS or OAuth2), client ID, and secret to secure call context communication.
- 3CLogic (WebSocket): Uses WebSocket channel. After configuration, copy autogenerated WebSocket URL, client ID, and client secret to your 3CLogic account for authentication and connection.
- Five9: Supported for integration but specific configuration details are not outlined in the provided content.

Enable users to get voice-based support from ServiceNow AI voice agents by integrating ServiceNow voice assistant with supported third-party Contact Center as a Service providers (CCaaS).
When you create or edit a voice assistant, you configure communication channels to define how the assistant connects to users. Select a Provider application to deploy the assistant to — this field is required for all communication channel types and appears above the channel tabs.
Communication channels are organized into two tabs:
- Telephony provider — connects the voice assistant to a phone network.
- Web Real-Time Communication (WebRTC) — connects the voice assistant to mobile applications.
