The integrations and plugins, established workflows, support systems ticketing it's all turnkey. I hate the platform and I wish people wouldn't use it but I understand the draw.

Discord has a ticketing system?

[–] PM_Your_Nudes_Please@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

There are ticketing bots, yes.

[–] linearchaos@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

There are bots that tie in and store tickets several of my software vendors use them. When you have a problem you drop into a certain channel and make a request it issues you a ticket with a link creates a new channel that's just a conversation between you and support. At first it seems clergy but after you use it a couple of times it's reasonably slick

Why not just use Slack that likely has better integrations?

[–] linearchaos@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

A lot of people have discord, a lot less people have slack.

Slack is also starting to charge for those workflows. My slack bill at work is gone up 50% past what it was. And I'm now getting monthly warnings from using my integrations. They would like me to put a credit card into handle more jira tickets.

You also need to pay to just have message history preserved on slack. Discord that information is there for free for as long as the server/discord exists.

I'm not saying people should use discord, but people are using it because it's free to use.
