Now that you have Tikit installed, you can immediately start creating and working tickets directly from Teams or the Tikit web app.
The Create a Ticket action can quickly create a new request from a message to start capturing a shoulder tap in a private chat or a post in a shared channel. For more details on message actions, check out Message Actions.
- Select
(More options) > More actions > Create a Ticket to create a ticket from the selected message.
- The Create Ticket form will open auto-filled with the message sender as the requester, the message as the request, and the default Priority. Check Include link to the message to add a link back to the original message in the ticket.
Need to create a ticket on the spot for a user rather than directing them to the Ticket Virtual Agent? Quickly create a new ticket from scratch with the Tikit compose extension. For more details on searching and creating tickets with the compose extension, check out Tikit Compose Extension.
- Select the TIkit icon below the compose message box to open the Tikit compose extension, then select Add Ticket.
- Enter in the ticket details in the New Ticket form and submit to create a new ticket.
Need to find an existing ticket? Find and work tickets from Teams or Tikit web apps.
Find tickets directly in Teams while chatting with Tikit, searching with the compose extension, and exploring tickets in the triage and support group channels.
Send “Tickets” to Tikit to explore tickets. For more details on Tikit commands and talking to Tikit, check out Tikit Commands.

You can create, view and manage tickets in the Tikit Web app: https://web.tikit.ai. You can read all about our different web portals in the Agent, Admin & User Portals article.
Tikit Virtual Agent is your end users “portal” to getting problems solved. Once you deploy Tikit Virtual Agent to all your end users they will be able to quickly submit request and get answers. You can read more about how to setup and install the Tikit Virtual Agent here.
