To **build a service desk for internal requests**, you need three things working together: a structured way to submit a request, a pipeline with defined phases, and timing data on each phase.

## Why internal requests go unmanaged

External support usually gets a system. Internal requests rarely do, even though the volume is often comparable.

- IT, HR, and facilities requests arriving by message
- No standard format, so every request needs follow-up questions
- No visibility for the requester on where things stand
- No data on how long internal service actually takes

## The components of a working service desk

- **A request form**, capturing what the team needs to act, with conditional fields
- **A pipeline**, with phases reflecting how requests are actually handled
- **Ownership**, so each request has a responsible person
- **SLA tracking**, measuring time in each phase
- **An AI agent**, handling the repetitive requests end to end

## How to configure it in Jestor

1. Build the request form in **Jestor**, using conditionals so people only answer what applies.
2. Route submissions into a **Kanban** with the phases your team uses.
3. Add the native email address so requests can also arrive by email.
4. Configure an **AI** agent to answer and classify common requests.
5. Build a dashboard on volume, resolution, and time per phase.

## Why choose Jestor for internal service?

**Jestor** covers Service Desk as one of its solution areas, but the underlying components — forms, boards, **SLA**, agents, dashboards — are the same ones used everywhere else, so nothing is a special case to maintain.

Permissions by role, field, and action mean a requester sees their own request while the handling team sees the full queue.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Can requests arrive by email as well as a form?

Yes, both feed the same pipeline. See [jestor.com](https://jestor.com/?ref=blog.jestor.com).

### Can requesters see their own status?

Yes, with permissions scoped to their own records.

### Can AI handle routine requests?
