Create Service Request By Requestor

Description

The Create Service Request by Requestor step creates a new service request (ticket) in Desk Manager on behalf of a specific requester. The step supports two input modes: You can either use simple input fields from the step configuration to build the request OR Provide a complete JSON payload for advanced customization.

Note:
Category Selection Hierarchy: The Desk Manager Web UI supports a multi-level, fully cascading category tree. However, due to API limitations, specifically the absence of endpoints to fetch dependent options for every level of the tree dynamically, the plugin currently supports a two-level hierarchy. How it works in the Plugin:

  • Level 1 (Category Type): You select a Category Type Key.
  • Level 2 (Category/Sub-Category): When you click the Get button for the Category Key field, the plugin automatically filters and displays only the Categories (Sub-categories) that belong to the selected Category Type.
