Choose How Employees Can Raise Tickets

SuperOps allows you to configure how employees create support tickets through Microsoft Teams. You can choose between two methods depending on how your organization prefers to handle support requests.

  • A support ticket is automatically created in SuperOps. Technicians can respond through SuperOps or Microsoft Teams.

  • Conversations remain private between the employee and the support team.

Auto-install the SuperOps App: You can enable Auto-install to automatically install the SuperOps app for all users after the integration is completed:

  • If enabled, the SuperOps app will automatically be installed for employees.

  • If disabled, users will need to manually install the SuperOps app from the Microsoft Teams App Store.


Option 2: Employee Support Channel

This option allows employees to raise IT issues by posting messages in a dedicated Microsoft Teams channel. When an employee posts a message in the selected channel:

The message is automatically converted into a ticket in SuperOps. Technicians can manage the ticket within SuperOps.
