How to use Integrations with ClearFeed?

💡 Choosing the correct mode ensures that ClearFeed behaves correctly in your workflow!

ClearFeed provides two models for working with task/ticketing systems:

1. Directly Creating Tickets/Tasks in the Integrated System

   • Requests in ClearFeed are immediately converted into tasks/tickets in the external system.

   • ClearFeed does not track service metrics such as SLA compliance or time spent.

   • Best suited when your team primarily works in the external system and does not need ClearFeed for request tracking.

   • Read more about Ticketing Settings.

2. Creating Tasks in External System

   • Requests remain in ClearFeed until an agent decides to push them externally.

   • How to push requests manually:

     • Option 1: Use the "More Actions" menu in Triage to create a ticket/task in the external system.

     • Option 2: Use an emoji reaction in the Request Channel to trigger task creation.

   • This approach allows ClearFeed to track SLAs and time spent even after sending the request to an external system.

If you rely on SLA tracking, choose option #2 and only create external tasks/tickets when needed.
