Slack Channels

Once ClearFeed starts monitoring a Slack channel, any new message from a non-responder is considered a request.

  • Any message from a requester in a monitored channel will automatically create a request in ClearFeed.

  • Requesters do not see request IDs or statuses — everything appears seamless to them.

  • If a request is converted into a ticket, its properties (like status, assignee, etc.) are visible in the request channel.

If you'd like to create tickets without sending a message on the channel, see here.

Create Requests by Sending a Message

  • A user posts a message in a Slack channel monitored by ClearFeed.

  • ClearFeed detects the new message and identifies whether the user is a responder or non-responder.

  • Based on the Collection settings, ClearFeed decides whether to convert the message into a request.

  • Request visibility:

    • Requesters see nothing unusual — no IDs or status indicators.

    • Responders see the request along with its ID, status, and other details in the triage channel or ClearFeed web app.

  • Agents can respond to requests from:

    • The Triage channel

    • The ClearFeed Web App

Create Requests by Sending a Message

  • Requesters share their requests on a channel

  • Agents reply from either the triage channel or the web app
