IT Helpdesk Automation — Jira to Slack to ServiceNow

Role: Automation ArchitectPlatform: Workato
Industry: Enterprise TechnologyDuration: ~6 Months

Overview

Built a Workato automation layer connecting Jira, Slack, and ServiceNow to streamline IT ticket routing, escalation, and status communication — reducing mean time to resolution across the IT support team.

What I Built

  • Jira ticket generation triggered directly from custom Slack slash commands and modals
  • Automatic ServiceNow incident creation and bi-directional linking for critical P1/P2 issues
  • Real-time two-way comment and status synchronization between Jira and ServiceNow
  • Interactive Slack channel notifications providing one-click ticket assignments and escalations
  • Automated weekly metrics and resolution digest reports posted to the IT leadership Slack channel

Architecture

Leveraged Workato’s real-time webhook event triggers across all three platforms combined with conditional rule-based routing. The integration dynamically maps ticket priorities, categorizations, and assignment groups, using state checks to prevent duplicate notifications and circular updates.

Tech Stack

Outcome: Reduced average ticket acknowledgment time by ~60%. Eliminated manual copy-paste between Jira and ServiceNow for P1 incidents.

I’m currently open to senior integration architecture roles — both full-time and contract engagements — with a preference for remote work. If you’re evaluating integration talent or building out an iPaaS practice, I’d welcome the conversation.
