Sync Settings

Gain complete control over how messages and status updates are synced between your integration and Slack

Sync settings allow you to choose whether messages are synced bidirectionally or in a single direction. Additionally, you can decide if updates to the linked ticket's status are shared in the Slack thread.

To configure common sync settings for all new tickets - follow the steps below:

  1. Access Sync Settings by navigating to Objects
