Off-Hours support

Overview

The HelpDesk + Slack integration enhances support accessibility by allowing users to create tickets, receive automated responses, and access knowledge base articles directly within Slack, even during non-business hours.

  • Off-hours support is available only on support channels.

  • You can set off hours behavior per channel.

  • You can specify on-hours (working day) times and days.

  • You can specify different ticket creation behaviors between both on and off-hours.

  • You can set a default auto-responder message to display regardless of on/off hours settings.
