Setting up Tags for Teams Discussions (Tech)

Warwick Eade Updated by Warwick Eade

Start a conversation in Teams from a DeskDirector Ticket

We can start a discussion in a Teams channel by adding a custom tag to a ticket.

This feature allows ticket agents to initiate an internal conversation within Microsoft Teams for specific tickets in the DeskDirector Tech portal. This feature provides a streamlined and efficient way for ticket agents to communicate and collaborate on resolving customer issues, allowing them to resolve issues more quickly and effectively.

Here's a step through on how to do it:

9 STEPS

1. Now that we know the DeskDiretcor Teams app is installed in our tenancy, let's set up a discussion tag. The first step is to open the Teams Channel. Click General and click Tag to chat

2. The triggering tag you are about to enter, is the tag you will set in a DeskDirector ticket to start a discussion thread in this team's channel

3. Type chatingeneral or whatever other tag you want to use. After this tag is set, whenever a service agent tags a ticket in DeskDirector with chatingeneral a discussion thread will be started.
