Knit connects Zendesk to Slack so new tickets, priority changes, and SLA warnings post automatically to the Slack channels your support team already uses. Can I route different ticket types to different Slack channels?Yes. Alerts can be routed by product area, support tier, or assigned team, so billing tickets land in #support-billing and technical tickets land in #support-tech, for example. Do I need to build a custom Slack bot for this?No. Knit handles the connection between Zendesk and Slack directly — no custom bot, no engineering project. Set up the workflow through Knit's no-code mapper in one session. What Zendesk events can trigger a Slack alert?Common triggers include new tickets, priority escalations, SLA breach warnings, and status changes — configurable to whichever events matter to your support process.
