Overview

This free template lets you build a custom help desk on top of your existing data, so you can track internal requests without relying on email threads, Slack messages, or scattered spreadsheets.

It includes a sample database so you can see exactly how to structure your data for a help desk system, but it’s flexible enough to use with any Softr-supported data source (including Airtable, Google Sheets, Notion, monday.com, HubSpot, and more).

Why use this help desk template

Organize requests in one place: Capture and categorize all support requests from across the company in a central system.
Assign and manage tickets efficiently: Admins can assign requests, update statuses, and ensure nothing falls through the cracks.
Improve visibility for everyone involved: Team members can track their own requests and get notified when something’s resolved.

Template features:

Role-based access
Separate user groups, permissions, and views for admins and other internal team members.
Request submissions
Share a customizable form for users to submit new requests with all the relevant details.
Request details
Expand any request to see with the details and proceed with next steps.
Ticket management dashboard
View, update, reassign, or resolve tickets through a central admin interface.
Search & filtering
Find any help request through advanced search and filtering.
Works on any device
Allow users to access the platform from any device with a fully responsive design. You can even turn your app into a downloadable mobile app with Softr's PWA feature.

Who is this help desk template for?

This template is designed for internal IT or operations teams, but it can be customized for any team that handles internal requests or service tickets.

IT departments: Manage hardware requests, access issues, software bugs, and more.
HR teams: Track onboarding tasks, employee questions, or policy update requests.
Finance departments: Handle budget approvals, reimbursements, or payroll queries.
Ops & Admin: Route general requests from across the company to the right person.
Customer support training: Use this system to simulate ticket workflows for onboarding new agents.

Frequently asked questions

Can team members track the status of their tickets?
Yes, users can log in and view only the requests they’ve submitted, along with current ticket status and resolution updates.
Do I need a Softr account to use the template?
Yes, just sign up for a free Softr account to get started. No credit card required.
Is the help desk mobile-friendly?
Yes! The help desk works seamlessly across desktop, tablet, and mobile. You can also enable Softr’s PWA feature to make it downloadable like a mobile app.
Can I add more fields or change the workflows?
Yes. Duplicate the template into your Softr workspace, then prompt the AI Co-Builder with a specific request, for example add a Priority field to IT requests, or rename the Category options (Tool access, Equipment, Security audit) to match your team's request types. You can also make these changes yourself in the visual editor.
For automations beyond ticket status, use Softr's built-in Workflows, or connect Zapier and Make for anything more advanced.
How do I customize this template for my own use case?
Duplicate the template into your Softr workspace, then prompt the AI Co-Builder with a specific request, for example "add a Department field to Teammates" or "change the IT requests Status options from To do and Done to a three-stage workflow." The AI Co-Builder updates the database and interface to match.
Prefer hands-on control? Use the visual editor to adjust layout, fields, and views yourself.
Can the help desk notify people automatically?
Yes. Set up a Softr Workflow that reacts to ticket events, for example notifying your IT lead by email or Slack whenever a new request is categorized under Security audit.
You can also trigger a notification to the requester the moment an admin marks their ticket Done, so nothing gets missed.
