Creating requests

In DM channels

Handle requests from employees in direct chat (DM channels) with them.

The least friction path for customers (employees) to report issues is to post a chat message directly to support team members they know in Slack. However, this makes tracking these requests tedious for the support team. With Troopr, you can easily capture these conversations into Jira requests.
