You can establish tickets directly within Slack for resolution by Zendesk Support agents. The ticket owner will be automatically set as the authenticated Slack user.
Tickets can be generated in Slack through various methods:
1. Using the slash command, /zendesk create_ticket, which enables ticket creation without needing a preceding Slack message.
2. Using a Slack action, which transforms a Slack message into a ticket.
3. In a Slack Connect channel, via the @zendesk mention in a message.
The tag "created_from_slack" will be automatically appended to tickets made using the slash command or Slack action (but not with @zendesk mention in a Slack Connect channel). You can leverage this tag to create views or business rules for assisting with the ticket workflow.
If you are looking for capabilities beyond this such as creating a ticket from a Slack thread with attachments, then check out our Slack Zendesk Integration and how we compare to the native integration.
The /zendesk create_ticket command facilitates ticket creation without a prior Slack message. It can be used in channels where the Slack for Zendesk Support integration has been invited.
In a channel, type the following command: /zendesk create_ticket. This will open the "Create new ticket" form. Fill out the details such as "Subject", "Requester", "Assignee", and "Description", and click "Submit". A ticket is subsequently created in Zendesk Support, with a notification sent to the channel of creation.

You can transform a pre-existing Slack message into a ticket by selecting the "Create a ticket" action in the message's "More actions" menu. This is only functional in channels where the Slack for Zendesk Support integration has been invited.
Hover over the message in the Slack channel and click the "More actions" icon. Choose "Create a ticket", fill out the necessary information, and click "Submit". The ticket is then created in Support, appearing as a reply in the Slack thread along with the associated Zendesk metadata.

Slack Connect allows collaboration with individuals outside your organization. Both internal and external users within a Slack Connect channel can create tickets using the @zendesk mention.
In a Slack Connect channel, enter the @zendesk mention in a message. For internal users, the integration will respond with a message containing a button to create a new ticket. After clicking "Create a ticket" and filling out the necessary details, click "Submit". The ticket is then created in Support and appears as a reply in the Slack thread, complete with the Zendesk metadata.
