When to use it
Use it to set service desk procedures, to configure routing in a ticketing tool, or to show business teams what happens after they report a problem. The escalation path and user confirmation are the two points that matter most.
Make it yours
- Write priority definitions into the node, such as "P1 affects the whole company".
- A small team with no tier 2 can delete the escalation branch and contact the vendor from tier 1.
- Add response targets with a line break and the chart explains your service levels.

Draw an IT help desk ticket flowchart with Mermaid flowchart TD syntax. The user reports an issue and the service desk logs and prioritizes it. If tier 1 can resolve it, tier 1 fixes it; otherwise escalate to tier 2, which investigates. If vendor support is needed, open a vendor case, then apply the fix. Ask the user to verify: if it does not work, escalate again; if it works, close the ticket. A major incident also gets a review and a knowledge base update. Use diamonds for decisions and no parentheses in node text. Output only the mermaid code block.
FAQ
- What background does a dark theme export with?
PNG export offers a filled or transparent background. For light documents, switch to a light theme before exporting.
- How do I show ticket states?
A state diagram suits that better. The library has a ticket status state diagram template.
- Is production incident response the same?
Not quite. The library has a separate incident response flowchart that includes mitigation and communication steps.
