Hi!
We are a small team consisting of 6 employees and are active in software development. In addition to our development tasks, we are also responsible for supporting employees from other teams (> 50) who use the software we implemented.
Since we all know each other, everyone is currently writing to the respective employee in our team directly via Microsoft Teams if there are problems, leading to constant interruptions during work (each person in the team currently receives around 1-2 support requests per day). We wonder whether we could channel these inquiries a bit with the help of Microsoft Teams without introducing a formal ticketing system, which would be an overkill in our case.
Basically, we want all employees outside the team who need support to chat with a generic user (e.g., #IT-support) first. Before that, we would have to have defined somewhere which employee of our team will support on which days, and the chat requests would be automatically forwarded from the generic user to this employee.
Has anyone already done something similar in Microsoft Teams and could give us a few tips on how to start? Or are there better ways of realizing our use case in Microsoft Teams?
