Chat created | Whenever a Teams chat is created, a Jira comment will be added to the issue (and involved persons will be notified via email) |
Issue updated (resolved) | Whenever an issue is resolved, the corresponding Teams chat(s)/conversation(s) will be hidden in MS Teams for the service agents |
Issue updated (resolved) | Whenever an issue is resolved, reporter and request participants will be removed from chats (useful in JSM context so customers won’t use the existing communications for new topics). Thus, they will not be able to complete the CSAT survey. |
Issue updated (resolved) | Whenever an issue is resolved, the corresponding chat(s)/conversation(s) will be backed up as a PDF file to the issue. |
*Generate keyword comment | Define a set of keywords to easily find the PDF afterwards (in Jira). |
