Key Features

Purpose-Built Ticketing
Suptask is explicitly built to turn Slack into a help desk, meaning that tickets have statuses, assignees, priorities, and due dates. Built-in ticket overviews and dashboards. Audit trail for accountability.
Ticket Creation Is Faster and Easier
With Suptask, tickets can be created from: Messages via emoji reactions. Slack Direct Messages (DMs) Forms are posted in Slack. This is more intuitive and scalable than designing custom workflows.
Private and Sensitive Requests
Lists and Workflows lack privacy controls. Anyone with access to a channel may see submissions. Suptask supports private ticketing, making it suitable for HR, legal, and finance teams.
Features You Don’t Get with Workflows
SLAs and escalation alerts. Custom forms per department. Email ticketing (receive/send tickets via email). AI summaries, canned replies, and analytics
Dashboards and Analytics
Slack Lists don’t offer a comprehensive dashboard or reporting capabilities. Suptask provides ticket overviews, analytics dashboards, and report exports.
Works for External & Internal Requests
Want to support Slack Connect users or customers via email? Suptask does both. Slack native tools are only internal.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main difference between Suptask and Slack Workflow & Lists?

Suptask is a purpose-built ticketing system designed for internal help desks (like IT and HR) as well as external support (like CX teams). In contrast, Slack Workflow & Lists functions as a basic to-do tracker, great for small teams managing simple tasks, but not built for structured ticket handling.

Is Suptask suitable for customer support and external ticketing?

Yes! Suptask supports Slack Connect and email ticketing, allowing seamless management of both internal and external requests, a functionality that Slack Lists and Workflows do not offer.
