Configure mapping between request types and channels

Nick Cron Updated by Nick Cron

Configuring your bot to alert your teams when requests are created is a critical part of reducing response times and noise in your environment.

What to know

  • Service desks and request types can be mapped to different channels in Slack.
  • Configure to let your agents know when different types of requests are created
  • Best practice is to send different types of requests to different channels based on priority, back-end need, etc.
  • You can configure globally in the admin area or inside Slack via channel configuration.

Configure request mapping in the Admin area.

  1. Login to your account.
  2. Go to settings under HelpDesk+
  3. Scroll down to the Slack Channel Mappings section.
  4. Click Add Configuration to add a new mapping.
