Set or change the virtual service agent default request type
The virtual service agent can create work items in Jira Service Management on behalf of your customers.
When the virtual service agent creates a work item, it uses the virtual service agent default request type, unless you override it in a specific intent’s conversation flow using a change request type and fields step. Read more about step types in the virtual service agent.
Hidden request types and required fields
Before you begin, make sure your virtual service agent default request type:
Is not hidden from the portal. If the virtual service agent has problems automatically creating work items, it may send customers a link to the request form for the default request type on your portal. A hidden default request type means that this link won’t work, and customers won’t be able to get help. Read more about organizing request types in the portal.
Has no required fields. The virtual service agent has no way to fill out required fields when creating work items using the default request type. Find out how to add or remove fields from a request type.
