Create Requests

This feature is only available if your account is on the External Helpdesk product edition

Responders can create requests from the ClearFeed web app, posted on the customer Slack channel. These requests also flow into the triage channel (if configured) and are accessible via the web app.

1. Head over to the ClearFeed Web App

2. Click on the Request button

3. Select the Request channel where this request will be sent

4. Enter the Description

5. Select the Status and Priority

   • Set to Pending by default since the request will await the customer's initial response (which will then move it to Open).

6. Choose if you want to Assign the request to someone

Creating Requests from the Web App

Create Requests with External Ticketing enabled

If external ticketing is enabled for a Collection when creating a new request, an alert will appear at the bottom of the request creation screen, guiding you on specific next steps.

Manual Ticketing

Add the 🎫 (Ticket emoji) on the Request channel message to convert the request into a ticket.

Automatic Ticketing

The ticket will be automatically triggered when the request is posted on the channel.

In either case, if forms are also configured - you would need to go to the request channel to fill up the Form fields to complete the ticket creation.
