How to Add Thread to Your Service Ticket View in Halo
- Log in to the Thread admin panel.
- In the left-hand menu, navigate to the Integrations section.
- Select HaloPSA from the available integrations.
- Choose Custom Tabs and follow the in-app instructions to install the following custom tabs:

Tip: You can adjust the order of the Thread Chat and Timepad custom tabs to make them appear before others when viewing a ticket in HaloPSA. To do this, go to Configuration → Custom Objects → Custom Tabs. Select the "Thread: Auto time entries" or "Thread: Real-time notes" custom tab and modify the number under Sequence. For example, setting the sequence to 0 will place the custom tab at the front, making it more accessible when viewing a ticket in HaloPSA.
