Workativ helps IT teams automate the complete request lifecycle without replacing their existing ITSM, identity, or knowledge platforms. Its AI agents connect employee conversations with approved knowledge, application workflows, approvals, and human support.
Give employees one place to request IT support
Employees can ask for help through Microsoft Teams, Slack, or a website chat widget instead of switching between portals and filling out lengthy forms.
With Workativ’s omnichannel AI support, employees can ask questions, initiate IT workflows, receive ticket updates, and escalate complex issues to a human without leaving their preferred chat channel.
They can simply say, “Reset my password,” “Give me access to Salesforce,” or “Why is my VPN not working?” Workativ identifies the request and starts the relevant support workflow from the same conversation.
Retrieve answers from approved IT knowledge
Workativ’s Knowledge AI can connect with sources such as SharePoint, Confluence, Google Drive, websites, and uploaded documents.
The AI agent searches this approved content to provide a contextual answer instead of relying on a generic response. Teams can also configure guardrails to keep answers aligned with company policies.
Execute actions through AI App Workflows
Answering a question is only one part of IT helpdesk automation. Workativ’s AI App Workflows connect the AI agent with ITSM, identity, and other enterprise applications so it can complete the next step.
Depending on the request, the workflow can perform an application action, send a notification, obtain approval, update a record, or continue through multiple service-request steps. Workativ also provides workflow testing, error handling, and execution logs to help teams monitor what happened.
Automate common IT helpdesk requests
Workativ can support repetitive IT requests such as:
Password resets and account unlocks
Software access and approval requests
User provisioning and deprovisioning
Ticket creation, categorisation, and updates
Ticket-status enquiries
VPN troubleshooting
Microsoft 365 support
Device and hardware assistance
Incident reporting and routing
These workflows can connect with existing tools such as ServiceNow, Jira Service Management, Freshservice, Microsoft Entra ID, Active Directory, and Okta.
Keep approvals and people in the workflow
Not every request should be completed without human involvement.
Workativ can include manager or application-owner approval within a workflow. When the AI agent cannot resolve an issue confidently, it can transfer the conversation to the Shared Live Chat Inbox without losing the employee’s conversation history and context.
Control what the AI agent can do
Workativ’s AI guardrails help organisations control how AI agents respond and act. Its security capabilities include role-based access control, SSO, SIEM integration, encryption, and controls designed to keep responses aligned with company requirements.
Measure and improve helpdesk automation
Through AI Agent Studio, teams can review resolution rates, escalation patterns, common employee queries, sentiment, knowledge gaps, and opportunities to improve the AI agent.
This allows IT teams to see which workflows are resolving requests successfully and where knowledge, integrations, or escalation rules need to be improved.
Examples of IT helpdesk automation with Workativ
Employee request | How Workativ handles it | Connected systems | Typical control |
|---|
“Reset my password” | Verifies the employee and starts the password-reset workflow | Active Directory, Microsoft Entra ID, or Okta | Identity verification, configured MFA, and audit logging |
“Give me access to this application” | Checks eligibility, obtains approval, and provisions access | ITSM, IAM, and the target application | Manager or application-owner approval |
“What is happening with my ticket?” | Retrieves the current ticket status and provides an update | ServiceNow, Jira Service Management, or Freshservice | Permission-aware record retrieval |
“My VPN is not working” | Retrieves approved troubleshooting steps and gathers diagnostic context | Knowledge sources and ITSM | Guardrails and human escalation |
“Report an outage” | Checks available incident information, captures symptoms, and routes the issue | Monitoring and ITSM systems | Severity and escalation rules |
Workativ brings conversations, knowledge, application actions, approvals, and human support into one coordinated helpdesk workflow automation process. The IT team keeps its existing systems, while employees receive a simpler path from request to resolution.
