Default Agent setting

The Default Agent setting in HelpDesk+ allows the bot to use an alternate agent identity instead of the main authorized user when needed, such as during integrations or system operations. Organizations can designate a specific user account to represent the bot, clarifying its activities within HelpDesk+.

Configure your Default Agent channel mapping

  • This configuration will send all request types to a specific channel at the initial setup. One default alert channel is required.

  • You can create more granular agent channels by configuring the bot within a new alerts channel. You can do this in the Account portal or by adding the bot to a channel within Slack.

  • Support channels and alert channels are different and should be kept separate. Learn more about the various channel types and best practices here.

  • If you have any questions about the initial setup, we're happy to help. You can even book time with our team for setup support!

Configuring your Default Agent channel

  1. Navigate to your HelpDesk+ bot settings in the Nextup.ai account portal.

  2. Scroll to the bottom left of the page to manage your Slack channel mappings.

  3. Click Edit Default to set your base default agent alert channel.

  4. Click Add Configuration to set up a new channel mapping.

  5. Choose your service desk and ticket type.

You can select one or more types that would route to that channel.

  1. Optionally, select Jira labels that route requests to specific channels.

  2. Select the Slack channel to which request alerts should be sent.
