Use cases

IT helpdesk: internal requests via form or Slack (Growth and Scale)

Internal requests can be a form or, on Growth and Scale, Slack channels. They become tickets. Publish how-to articles so the assistant can cite them after hours.

Last updated 2026-10-09.

Form, email, and Slack (Growth and Scale) land in this list.

The scenario

Someone submits “VPN onboarding” on the form. Someone else posts in #it-help on Slack. On Growth or Scale both are tickets. Starter still has the form, email, and widget — not Slack. There are no departments; tag by site or team.

Setup

  1. Create the workspace.
  2. Add form or inbound email for requests.
  3. Publish VPN, access, and hardware articles.
  4. On Growth or Scale, connect the Slack channels you already use.
  5. Set after-hours bot if you want citations when the team is away.

Which plan

Form-only: Starter US$49/mo. Slack ticketing: Growth US$129/mo or Scale US$399/mo.
