If necessary, it is also easy for you to create a ticket with additional fields. For this example, we have added two more ticket fields – ‘Priority’ and ‘Status’. To add new ticket fields to the form, navigate to Settings > Admin > Ticket Forms tab and choose the ‘Create Ticket’ form in the Support Bot.

Now, simply drag and drop the desired fields from the left-hand side onto the list on the right. This immediately adds them to the form.

Adding Attachment to a ticket

You have two options for attaching files to a ticket in Support Bot. The first and recommended method is during the ticket creation process. The second method is available after the ticket has already been created. Let’s explore these two approaches in more depth below.

Adding attachment during ticket creation

Enter the ‘create’ command and send it as a command in Teams, or alternatively, click on the ‘Create Ticket’ button to initiate the opening of the Create Ticket form within the Support Bot.

Custom Ticket Forms

In addition to the default create ticket forms, you have the option to set up multiple custom forms for your end-users to create tickets. More details on creating these custom forms can be found in this help center article.

Let’s say you’ve created multiple forms for your organization. They’ll now start to appear in the welcome message as shown in the above screenshot. You’ll notice that, in addition to the default commands such as ‘create’, ‘status’, and ‘reset’, there are four additional commands present. These commands correspond to the newly created custom forms.

To create a ticket with these forms in the Support Bot, you can either click on the corresponding form buttons or enter specific commands such as ‘hrform’, ‘salesform’, ‘itisform’, and more. For instance, by clicking on the ‘HR Form’ button in the Desk365 Teams Support Bot, the ‘HR Form’ will be displayed.
