How to setup an Inbox
Ticket forms in Inbox
Suptask provides a flexible structure using ticket forms to start your ticketing experience inside of Slack.
An Inbox with its ticket forms contains all properties that define How to receive tickets, Where to receive tickets and What the user needs to send in together with the ticket. In Suptask, this is configured on the ticket form for maximal flexibility.
By having this structured on ticket forms, we allow you to control the ticket workflow according to your requirements.
You can have as many ticket forms as you need.
Where to receive tickets
When a ticket is submitted with a ticket form, it is routed to the configured Responder channel, where Agents receive a notification about the ticket, and can start to respond and resolve the ticket.
On the ticket form you can configure to what Inbox the ticket should be sent, and therefore to what team of Agents that should receive it.
Use 🔒HR-team Responder channel for your HR team
Use 🔒IT-respond Responder channel for your IT team
Use 🔒engineering-team-a Responder channel for your Engineering team A
How to receive tickets
Users in your Slack workspace can submit tickets in various ways. On a ticket form, you can define how this ticket form should be available for your users.
- Private - All users in Slack can access this form and the submitted information is only available to the user and the responding Agents. Use it to receive sensitive or personal information from users
- Collaboration - Users who are a part of a specified channel can access this form. The submitted ticket is shared and visible in the channel where users can work together on it.
For a ticket form that is set to be using a Collaboration channel, you can define on the ticket form in what Slack channel you want users to submit tickets. For example #it-helpdesk or #hr-help.
As an Agent you can also choose to work in the Collaboration channel to remediate tickets without using the Responder channel.

What information to receive
For every ticket form, you can customize what information the users need to provide in order for the Agents to remediate the tickets properly.
You can use custom fields to customize the forms exactly to your needs. Each field can be of a different type such as a single-line of text, multi-line of text or a multi-selection list of different values.
This could for example include:
- Business Impact - A custom field that can define how the business is impacted e.g Severe (Completely blocked), High (Workaround exist etc.
- Problem type - A custom field that defines what problem this is.
- User ID - A custom field that defines the internal user ID.
Every field can be set to either optional or required, helping you define what you really need from your users.
