We wanted to tackle this and ended up building a fully integrated service request desk for Microsoft Teams (Jetdocs.io). It includes 75 templates out-of-the-box for business units like HR, IT, Finance, Legal etc. It's both a tab application which serves as the request portal/catalog as well as a bot application that sends notifications for new requests, comments and activity. I'd love to get your thoughts! Thank you.
- Alex_Haley2010Copper ContributorHello, I have a question: if someone logs into my Teams profile with my credentials, from an IP address that me or the system admin know, can the person or the IP address be identified by the system admin? If, so for how long?

Himanshu Singhas many others said, it all depends on what you want to accomplish. If you want to run a full service desk like you have in big corporates, with, say, tens or hundreds of service desk agents, and thousands or tens of thousands of end users, then that organization probably already has an ITSM ticketing solution in place (such as ServiceNow, BMC Remedy, Jira, etc) and would be looking for an integration between Teams and that existing platform. In such case, a "single point of contact" could be made available via Teams to all the employees of such big corporate, under the form of a Teams App. When starting a chat session through that App, a chatbot could be triggered, ideally supporting multiple languages and automatic translation, and capable of Natural Language Processing. That chatbot could help users - based on how it was configured- and create or update tickets in the company's ITSM platform automatically, or, if needed, it could transfer the chat to a "human" service desk agent (depending on agent's skills and availability). On the selected agent's side, the chat would popup with an embedded support ticket from the ITSM ticketing tool and would provide several automations between the chat session and the ticket (such as pre-filling the employee's info or attaching transferred files automatically). Of course, this is a huge thing to build, but such solutions already exist: express-desk (www.express-desk.com) does all this and even more.

I get it relies upon the usefulness you need and the yields. On the off chance that you mean could it be utilized as a gathering for clients and visitors to have their inquiries replied to? Indeed, it could and I realize a few organizations today doing this. Will Teams work like a develop uphold application like Zendesk? At that point, the appropriate response is no at the current time. It doesn't presently permit things like case/ticket the executives for instance. It can't write about SLA's, it wouldn't have the option to give clients a report on the status of their request or issue.
Notwithstanding, you can coordinate applications like ZenDesk with Microsoft Teams - and I realize that the Microsoft group is thinking about accomplishing something like this later on.
So all things considered, I would state at the current time I would utilize an application, for example, Zendesk, and fitting it into Teams as to attempting to cause Teams to accomplish something it lacks highlights for to offer an excellent help/helpdesk experience for the two clients and the clients.
Hope this is fine

We are using teams for my help-desk. It mostly works. I would like to have a follow up queue to follow up with Customers/Guests.
We have 50+ direct customers (Hotels/RVparks) and we have created a Channel for each site some have Sales and Office support.
Customer1 (all of their Guests support calls go here)
Customer1 Sales (all of their Guest Sales calls go here)
Customer1 Support (all of their Office support calls go here)

This would be interesting, right now we just use an exchange mailbox to keep track of calls. its fairly low volume. Just a few per day, and only 3 people accessing it. I was thinking Teams might be a better option than the mail boxes. If we can get people to use it and stop using the phone or email.
