Microsoft Teams integration for SolarWinds Service Desk
Create, view, update, and resolve Service Desk tickets from Microsoft Teams.
Create and view Service Desk tickets in Microsoft Teams
Let employees and service teams work with SolarWinds Service Desk tickets from the Microsoft Teams desktop or mobile application. Users can create and view tickets without leaving the collaboration tool they already use for everyday communication. This gives employees a direct route to IT service management support while allowing technicians to keep ticket information connected to the Service Desk workflow.
Add ticket details where collaboration is already happening
Update Service Desk tickets from Microsoft Teams by adding comments, attachments, categories, and subcategories. Keeping those details tied to the ticket can reduce the manual effort of moving information between chat and the service desk. It also gives technicians a clearer record of the request, the communication around it, and the information needed to continue incident management or service delivery work.
Resolve tickets without switching between tools
Employees and agents can resolve tickets from Microsoft Teams after the work is complete. This helps teams keep support communication and resolution actions connected to the Service Desk ticket, rather than leaving final updates scattered across chat conversations. By handling ticket activity in Microsoft Teams and maintaining the record in SolarWinds Service Desk, teams can support faster follow-up and clearer SLA tracking.
