How HelpDesk+ automates responses and ticket creation

HelpDesk+ enhances your service desk by automating responses and ticket creation in designated channels. It can provide links to create requests or custom buttons pointing to documentation for more information.

Key features include:

  • Automatic ticket creation: Convert conversations into Jira tickets, and add responses as comments in real time. Use for common inquiries like onboarding, credential retrieval, and other frequent support tasks.

  • User interaction: Respond to any user message with options to create help requests or navigate to custom URLs. Recommend knowledge base articles to reduce manual support work.

  • Management: Track all activity by ensuring a ticket is created for each interaction so requests won’t get lost in Slack.

  • Organizational efficiency and support: Create a generic ticket for each message to streamline support processes and reassure end users that you’ve received their request. Proactive communication can improve the user experience and boosts customer satisfaction (CSAT) ratings.

  • Onboarding: Automatically create tickets for new employees to support onboarding tasks.

 

You can add HelpDesk+ to your channel and configure it for auto-creation in a few easy steps.
