Add a Post-Processing Script to the Incident Type.

The following script example requires the user to verify all To Do
tasks before closing an incident. Before you start, you need to configure a Cortex XSOAR REST API instance.

inc_id = demisto.incidents()[0].get('id')
				tasks = list(demisto.executeCommand("demisto-api-get", {"uri": "/todo/{}".format(inc_id)})[0]['Contents']['response'])

				if tasks:

				for task in tasks:

				if not task.get("completedBy"):
				return_error("Please complete all ToDo tasks before closing the incident")
				break

In this example, we create post processing script for Service Now incidents using a SNOW instance, where there are required fields to resolve and close (such as Resolution Code, Resolution Notes, etc).

This script works with the defaults from Service Now and resolves and closes the mirrored ticket in Service Now.
