At Coda, we manage IT supports primarily through Slack.
To do this, we have a simple integration set up through Zapier (although any integration platform with a connection to Coda should be able to do this). This page outlines how to set up Zapier to create Tickets in your IT Doc.
To set this up, you’ll need a Slack account, a Zapier account, and a doc that includes a a table with the necessary fields (e.g. the ticketing table in this doc).
Workflow
Users submit requests in a public Slack channel
Support team members monitor the channel and create Tickets by adding a specific reaction to the message
These tickets are populated with Reporter, Summary (being the message itself), and Description (a permalink back to the original Slack thread for easy tracking)
Ticket status, additional information, and attachments are changed and managed from within the doc.
Zapier Setup

Select your trigger to be New Reaction added in Slack
