Build Microsoft Teams Help Desk System with Ticketing As A Service

Updated: Aug 19

Managing support requests across multiple platforms can be a headache for any organization. When your team relies on Microsoft Teams for daily communication, introducing separate software for help desk operations can slow things down and create unnecessary friction. Employees spend valuable time switching between systems to check ticket statuses, and learning new tools often proves inefficient.


The answer lies in integrating your ticketing system directly within Microsoft Teams. This allows employees to handle support tickets within the platform they already know and trust, leading to smoother communication and faster resolutions. Ticketing As A Service is designed to seamlessly integrate with Microsoft Teams, offering a cohesive and efficient solution for managing internal support requests.

How to Set Up Microsoft Teams as a Help Desk System


Getting started is simple. First, add Ticketing As A Service to your Microsoft Teams by clicking here and selecting "Add to Teams." For detailed setup instructions, you can also watch this step-by-step video.

If you’ve already integrated Ticketing As A Service, here are some powerful features you can utilize:

  

1) Email-to-Ticket Conversion: 

As your business expands, managing a shared inbox can become overwhelming. An email-to-ticket system consolidates customer emails into a single, centralized location, ensuring that urgent issues are tracked and addressed promptly. Ticketing As A Service automatically converts incoming support emails into tickets and sends acknowledgment emails to customers, enhancing service efficiency.

2) Manage Service Level Agremeent (SLAs) 


SLAs are critical for maintaining customer trust and evaluating team performance. Ticketing As A Service helps you monitor and manage SLAs, including First Response Time and Resolution Time, ensuring that customer issues are addressed within agreed-upon timeframes.


First Response Time SLA refers to the commitment made by a service provider to respond to a customer's initial inquiry within a specified timeframe. This ensures that customers receive acknowledgment of their concerns promptly, which is vital for maintaining satisfaction and trust. 


Resolution SLA, on the other hand, outlines the timeframe within which the service provider commits to resolving the customer's issue completely. This ensures that problems are not only acknowledged but also effectively addressed within a set timeframe, ensuring timely service and preserving customer confidence.

Instant notifications in Microsoft Teams keep everyone informed and enable faster issue resolution compared to traditional email threads. Every interaction in the Ticketing system triggers a chat notification, promoting quick and efficient communication.
