Creating tickets is one of the first things you end up doing with Suptask. The different ways you can do it with Suptask are very simple and in this article we'll show you how.
Before you can create a ticket, confirm that Suptask is set up properly and that the Suptask App have joined the channels on Slack to enable ticket submissions. You can identify this by typing /suptask help to see if the Suptask App is actively operating in that channel.
Create new ticket from a message using the Ticket emoji:
- You have sent a message which you want to start a ticket from
- On the message, add a reaction emoji by hovering over the message to display the small section with action icons in it.
- Select the reaction emoji Ticket (:ticket: 🎫)
- Suptask will automatically identify this emoji as the trigger to create a new ticket
- Suptask will display the ticket forms available to submit a new ticket in this channel. Select the one you want to use
