Channels organize tickets by team, topic, or workflow. Every ticket belongs to a channel, and each channel functions as a dedicated container with its own:
  • Prefix - Appears in ticket numbers (e.g., HELP-123)
  • Settings - Controls ticket creation, automation, and notifications
  • Integrations - Connects to Slack, email, forms, and external systems
  • Routing rules - Determines which tickets land in the channel
Use channels to separate work by team (Engineering, Support), topic (Bugs, Features), or workflow stage.

​
Hide channels from your sidebar

You can hide any channel from your own sidebar without affecting other workspace members. Hiding is a personal preference: other members still see the channel, ticket routing continues to work, and every ticket in the channel remains accessible from URLs, search, and views.To hide a channel, right-click it in the sidebar (or open its menu) and select Hide. The channel moves into a collapsible Hidden group at the bottom of the Channels section. Expand Hidden, then right-click a channel there and select Unhide to restore it to its previous position.Use this to declutter your sidebar when your workspace has channels you don’t work in day-to-day.

​

2

4

Confirm move

​
Share tickets with another workspace

Share a ticket into a channel in another workspace when a second team needs to work the same request. The ticket keeps its home channel, its ID, and its owner, and the destination team gets full access to it. You cannot share a ticket into another channel in its own workspace; move it instead.
Use sharing when two teams need to work one request, and for related but separate tickets.
