Escalate a Ticket to Engineering, Properly

For bugs that customers find first. DuckyHelper reads the ticket, writes the repro steps and impact, creates the Linear issue, links the two, and puts the ticket on hold. The Slack heads-up waits for your OK.

WHERE IT ASKS FIRST

It's built to wait for your OK.

It does the work, then stops with the Slack post ready for you. You see exactly what it wrote, then Send, Edit or Deny.

If it hits a sign-in, you sign in yourself. It's built not to type your passwords or card numbers.

FAQ

Before you ask it.

What do I say?

Press fn (Ctrl+Shift+Space on Windows and Linux) and ask out loud, in your own words, like "Escalate this Zendesk ticket: create a Linear issue with repro steps, link it, and draft a note for #eng."

Why is the second time faster?

The first time, it writes small JavaScript tools for Zendesk, Linear and Slack and builds an API from each site's own buttons, forms and requests. After that it calls them directly, so the job runs in one go instead of click by click. It costs less and breaks less.

Will it send anything without me?

It's built to ask first before it sends a message or pays for anything, and to wait for your yes. It may not recognize every send or payment, so keep an eye on tasks that involve messages or money. It's built not to type your passwords or card numbers: you sign in yourself, and it picks up from there.

Why not just do it by hand?

Bug reports get retyped from tickets to issues, and the customer details fall off along the way.
