Responder Settings
Responders are people from your organisation who should be treated as support agents/members.
For the external helpdesk use case - the Responder settings allow you to enter an email domain.
Everyone in your Slack workspace who shares that email domain is considered a responder.
You can also add Slack users as additional responders if they are not from a common domain.
E.g. Anyone from ClearFeed will be considered a Responder. If you enter other domains, anyone with the same domain in the Slack workspace will also be considered a responder.
