Connect BoldDesk and Slack

BoldDesk holds your tickets, approvals and customer feedback. FlowMattic sends the moments that need a person to Slack: a new ticket in the support channel, a ticket raised to urgent, a poor satisfaction rating, an approval waiting on a manager. Support teams and their leads follow the queue from team chat while BoldDesk stays the place to reply.

BoldDesk and Slack workflows you can build

Each one uses only triggers and actions the two integrations ship today, plus FlowMattic's own tools. Where the library has a ready-made template, import it instead of building from scratch.

Post every new BoldDesk ticket to the support channel

The subject, requester and priority appear in Slack as soon as the ticket is created, so the team can see the queue grow and claim tickets quickly.

Escalate tickets that are raised to urgent

A Filter on the priority property passes only urgent tickets. They go to an escalation channel the support lead watches, apart from the normal flow of new tickets.

Ticket Property UpdatedFilterSend Channel Message

Send low satisfaction scores to the support lead

A Filter keeps poor ratings. The support lead gets them in a private channel with the ticket link and comment, ready to review the conversation and call the customer.

Ask the approver in Slack when an approval is requested

Refunds and exceptions wait on approvals. The approver is found by email and gets a direct message with the request, so a customer is not left waiting on an unread email.

Summarise each new ticket with an AI Agent

An AI Agent reads the ticket description and writes one line on the problem and a suggested category. The Slack post is quicker to scan than the full customer email.

Tell the agent when an approval is rejected

When an approver rejects a request, the agent who raised it gets a direct message, so they can tell the customer and offer another option the same day.

Set up: new tickets to Slack

At the end, every new BoldDesk ticket is posted to your support channel with its subject, requester and priority.

  1. Connect Slack

    Under Connects in FlowMattic, add a Slack connection with an account that is in the support channel.

  2. Start with Ticket Created

    Create a workflow with the BoldDesk Ticket Created trigger and follow its instructions to send BoldDesk events to the workflow.

  3. Raise a test ticket

    Email your support address or create a ticket from the BoldDesk portal, so FlowMattic captures the ticket fields.

  4. Post the ticket

    Add Send Channel Message, choose the channel and write the text from the ticket ID, subject, requester and priority. Test it and switch it on.

Triggers and actions in this pair

A trigger starts a workflow. An action is something FlowMattic does in the app as a step.

Good to know

  • Ticket Property Updated fires on any property change, including status and assignee. Always add a Filter for the property you care about, or one ticket can post several times.
  • Reply Created on Ticket and Public Note Created can be busy. Post them only for selected tickets, for example VIP customers, rather than for the whole queue.
  • Agents still reply in BoldDesk. The Slack posts are alerts, so include the ticket ID or link in each message to make opening the ticket one click.

Why run this pair with FlowMattic

BoldDesk and Slack connect through FlowMattic on your own site, with no separate automation account in the middle and no charge per run.

Leads see what needs them

Urgent tickets, poor ratings and pending approvals reach the support lead directly instead of being buried in the full queue.

Approvals stop holding up customers

Approvers are asked in Slack, where they answer faster than in a help desk they open once a day.

Ticket alerts with no task limits

FlowMattic runs on your WordPress site with unlimited runs, so a spike in tickets does not change what you pay.

Common questions

How do I send BoldDesk tickets to Slack?

Create a FlowMattic workflow with the BoldDesk Ticket Created trigger, raise a test ticket and add Send Channel Message. Map the subject, requester and priority into the text and switch the workflow on.

Can different brands or categories go to different channels?

Yes. Add a Router after the trigger with a path for each brand or category, each ending in Send Channel Message to that team's channel.

Can I get an alert when a private note is added?

Yes. Private Note Created fires on internal notes. Post them to a private channel for the team that owns the ticket, since notes are not meant for the customer.

Can Slack tell me when an approval is completed?

Yes. Approval Request Completed fires when the request is finished. Post it to the agent or the channel so the customer can be told the outcome.
