Challenge
Challenges in handling incoming employee requests
Problem
The IT support team at Digistore24 has set up Jira for tracking employee requests. The employees can login to the Jira customer portal and report issues of relevant request type. For many employees Jira can be too much trouble and they prefer posting questions/requests directly to the agents in Slack. And the agents end up manually copy pasting conversations to create corresponding tickets in Jira. In reality the agents are also discussing Slack requests in DMs and manually copy-pasting the updates/comments/status to Jira. This took a considerable amount of time in the context switch. Slack requests also posted another significant challenge of missing some of them in the fast moving chat feeds. The support team members are usually wearing multiple hats and were looking for a solution to automate and optimize the time spent handling support requests.
Solution
Support teams have set up triage channels in Slack that are mapped to individual Jira Service Desk projects. The agents receive new ticket notifications (created via Slack or Jira) in triage channels with details in thread. Agents can scan through the open requests in the channel and pick on relevant ones to work on. The triage channel also provides capability to privately discuss and collaborate with the team members in Slack. Agents can directly update the tickets in the Slack thread and Troopr takes care of syncing them into Jira. The agents also get the convenience of discussing with the customer (employee that reported the issue) in the Slack thread. Troopr automatically captures these conversations to Jira in real time. With the introduction of Troopr, the agents are able to manage all incoming requests in triage channels effectively and Troopr takes care of syncing both the platforms in real time.
