Password resets, access requests, incident triage, and ticket status handled in Slack from live SysAid data. No developer. No portal. No ticket queue.
Self-Service Portal, email, Microsoft Teams that's SysAid's own documented scope. Slack isn't on the list.
Ticket alerts land in Slack. Employees can't ask a question or take an action from there.
SysAid Agents handle their own modules well. Jira, non-Azure identity, and other tools still need manual handoff.
Employee asks in Slack. Workativ reads from SysAid, takes the action, and confirms in the same thread.
Identity verified before any SysAid or identity-provider action
Password reset through SysAid or connected identity provider
No ticket created for a routine, in-policy reset

SysAid fires the event a new hire, an incident, a termination. Workativ extends the action into Jira, Azure AD, and Slack.
SysAid ticket created automatically from the HR trigger
Azure AD identity account provisioned with correct role and groups
Day-1 checklist delivered to the new hire in Slack before they start

"Workativ has been with us every step of the way. From our first IT support use case to HR, and soon Procurement. The platform grows with us, and so does the team behind it. It's rare to find a solution that's both powerful and genuinely easy to manage."

No-code builder, agentic RAG, cross-system workflows, security, and analytics without a SysAid implementation project.

SysAid password resets, access requests, and ticket status configured point-and-click
Non-SysAid systems added the same way no separate integration project
Hands off to a live agent the moment a request calls for human judgment
SysAid Copilot handles ticket automation, prebuilt agents, and knowledge search well, inside its Self-Service Portal and Microsoft Teams. Workativ brings that same kind of self-service into Slack a channel SysAid's chatbot has never reached conversationally.

When SysAid Copilot is enough: our team works inside SysAid's Self-Service Portal or Microsoft Teams, and the prebuilt AI Agents plus no-code Agent Builder cover what you need.
When to evaluate Workativ instead: Employees are in Slack and expect to resolve things there, not just receive a ticket notification, or a request needs a ticket outside SysAid's own ecosystem entirely. Both can run alongside each other SysAid stays your system of record either way.

78% of IT tickets deflected in Slack the one channel SysAid's chatbot has never reached.
Sysaid AI agent frequently asked questions
A SysAid AI agent connects to your SysAid instance and lets employees reset passwords, request software access, check ticket status, and get IT policy answers all in Slack, without logging into the SysAid portal. SysAid Copilot is a genuine pioneer in agentic ITSM, with 100+ prebuilt AI Agents and a no-code AI Agent Builder, but its conversational AI Chatbot is documented as available only through the Self-Service Portal, email, and Microsoft Teams never Slack. Workativ's SysAid AI agent delivers that conversational self-service in Slack and takes action creating tickets, requesting access, and escalating with full context.
Partially, and only one-way. SysAid's own AI Agents can send real-time ticket notifications to Slack an alert when a ticket updates, for example. But the conversational AI Chatbot, the self-service layer employees ask questions and submit requests through, is documented by SysAid as available through the Self-Service Portal, email, and Microsoft Teams only. There is no conversational Slack experience in SysAid's own product. Workativ deploys a SysAid-connected AI agent natively in Slack that employees can actually talk to.
SysAid Copilot is genuinely advanced over 100 prebuilt AI Agents handle tasks like password resets and Azure AD provisioning, and the no-code AI Agent Builder can now generate and test its own automation code. All of this surfaces through SysAid's Self-Service Portal, email, and Microsoft Teams, with Slack limited to one-way ticket notifications. Workativ connects to SysAid and delivers full conversational self-service in Slack the channel SysAid's chatbot has never reached plus extends workflows into Jira, Okta, and 100+ other apps. Workativ and SysAid Copilot are complementary SysAid stays your system of record.
Workativ connects to SysAid via its public REST API, using OAuth2 authentication and role-based access controls that respect your existing SysAid permission structure. Workativ reads live SysAid data ticket status, asset records, knowledge base content and writes back where permitted: creating tickets, submitting access requests, and triggering workflows into Jira, Okta, and other systems outside SysAid.
Workativ automates workflows that start in SysAid and extend into systems its own AI doesn't reach: new hire onboarding (a SysAid ticket triggers Azure AD provisioning and a day-1 Slack checklist), access request approval (employee requests in Slack, manager approves in Slack, SysAid ticket updated), asset assignment from SysAid's CMDB when a new hire needs equipment, and offboarding (an HR trigger creates a SysAid ticket and revokes access across connected systems).
Yes. Employee asks in Slack. Workativ verifies identity, resets the password through SysAid's workflow or the connected identity provider, and confirms in the same thread no ticket required for a routine reset. For anything outside policy, the agent creates a SysAid ticket with full context rather than guessing.
Yes. SysAid's strongest fit is mid-market organizations between 250 and 5,000 employees, with genuine presence across small businesses, mid-size companies, and enterprises as well. Workativ fits that same range: a no-code setup IT can configure directly, published pricing with no custom quote required, and deployment in 3 to 5 days.
Yes. When HR triggers a new hire, Workativ creates the relevant SysAid ticket, provisions the Azure AD identity account with correct role and groups, and delivers a day-1 checklist to the new hire in Slack before they start. SysAid remains the system of record for the ticket. IT sets the workflow up once it runs for every new hire without manual steps.
Yes. Employees ask in Slack and Workativ returns live status from SysAid open, in progress, resolved, along with the assigned technician and last update. No portal login, no email to IT, no waiting on a notification that may or may not arrive.
Yes. Workativ connects to SysAid using OAuth2 authentication with role-based access controls. The AI agent only reads and writes what it has been explicitly permitted to access. SysAid data is never used to train models. PII is masked in all conversation logs. Every SysAid action is logged to an immutable audit trail. Workativ is SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, GDPR, and HIPAA compliant.
3 to 5 days for standard IT self-service password resets, access requests, ticket status, and policy Q&A. No developer required. No implementation project. Workativ's no-code platform connects SysAid, configures the AI agent, and deploys it to Slack. Cross-system workflows into Jira or Azure AD typically add a small configuration step.
No. SysAid Copilot remains genuinely useful for the work it does well over 100 prebuilt AI Agents, a no-code Agent Builder for custom automation, and conversational support inside SysAid's own Self-Service Portal and Microsoft Teams. Workativ extends that same kind of self-service into Slack, where SysAid's chatbot has no conversational presence at all, and connects SysAid events to Jira, Azure AD, and systems outside SysAid's own ecosystem. The two run side by side, with SysAid staying your system of record.
