Teams Chat w/ Graph API

Title:

  1. What is your original issue/pain point you want to solve?
    a) Faster notifications to agents about tickets assigned to them. Be it a new ticket or alerts for an existing ticket.
    b) Another way for users to submit tickets to the helpdesk.
    c) Less friction for users to create or reply to a ticket.
  2. Which are one or two concrete situations where this problem hurts the most?
    a) We’re a small, 3 or 4 person IT group supporting 350 people across the country. We don’t always have zammad open or our e-mail open. This would allow us to reply quickly for important or urgent tickets.
    b) Also allow us to quickly update a ticket without opening Zammad?
  3. Why is it not solvable with the Zammad standard?
    While Microsoft Graph API is already in there for e-mail, there isn’t a way to send e-mail to a Teams Chat.
  4. What is your expectation/what do you want to achieve?
    I would like to send messages to a Teams chat as a communication channel, and receive those chats into a ticket as part of the communication history.

Your Zammad environment:

  • Average concurrent agent count: 3
  • Average tickets a day: 2
  • What roles/people are involved: Helpdesk, Server Admin, soon to add building maintenance, and other groups.
