How it works

Every ticket, reply, and mention lands in Slack automatically.

1
1

New ticket created

A customer submits a ticket and your Slack channel gets an instant alert with the subject, customer name, and a direct link.

2

Customer replies

When a customer responds to an assigned ticket, the responsible agent gets a direct Slack mention so they can follow up immediately.

3

Team discussions

Internal discussions on tickets notify relevant team members in Slack, keeping everyone aligned without leaving their workspace.

Why teams love it

Faster response times

Agents see customer messages the moment they arrive. No more checking the dashboard every few minutes.

No context switching

Your team already lives in Slack. Notifications show up right where they work, with a link to respond.

Better collaboration

Discussion alerts keep the whole team aligned on tricky tickets. No one gets left out of the loop.

Never miss a ticket

Every new ticket and customer reply triggers an alert. Nothing falls through the cracks.

Frequently asked questions

What types of notifications does the Slack integration send?

The integration sends three types of notifications: new ticket alerts when a customer creates a support request, reply notifications when a customer responds to an existing conversation, and discussion mentions when a teammate tags someone in an internal note on a ticket.

Can I choose which Slack channel receives notifications?

Yes. During setup you select the Slack channel where notifications should be posted. You can change this at any time from Settings in the Help.center dashboard. Many teams create a dedicated #support-tickets channel.

Can I reply to tickets directly from Slack?

Not yet. Currently the integration is notification-only. Each notification includes a direct link to the conversation in the Help.center dashboard where you can reply. Replying from Slack is on our roadmap.

Is the Slack integration free?

Yes. The Slack integration is included on all Help.center plans at no extra cost, including the free tier. There are no per-notification fees or usage limits.

What data is shared with Slack?

Only the information needed for notifications is sent to Slack: the ticket subject, the customer's name, a short preview of the message, and a link back to the dashboard. No passwords, payment details, or full conversation histories are shared.
