Freshdesk webhook to set subject line


Forum|alt.badge.img

I am trying to create a webhook to set the subject line of tickets raised via the Freshdesk portal. 

I have read and followed the instructions from various Freshworks pages and community articles, and no matter what I do, I cannot get this webhook to work!

I can see that the automation has run on all of the test tickets that I have raised - but the subject lines aren’t actually changing!

 

Is anyone able to help with what I am doing wrong?

 

Please note that in the screenshots below I have replaced the URL and API key with placeholders for security reasons, but rest assured that these are entered correctly in the automation!

It sounds like the webhook is triggering correctly but not updating the subject line as expected. Ensure the webhook is using the correct API endpoint and payload format required by Freshdesk. Double-check that the automation rule includes the right conditions and actions to modify the subject field. Also, verify that the Freshdesk API key has the necessary permissions to update ticket details. If the issue persists, try reviewing webhook logs for errors or testing with a manual API request to confirm functionality.

Have you tried checking Freshdesk’s API logs to see if the webhook is being triggered correctly? Also, ensure that the payload structure matches Freshdesk’s expected format. Sometimes, a minor syntax issue can cause it to fail. Hope you get it working soon!
