Hey all,


I'd like to do a search for particular keywords in all my company's tickets. Freshdesk doesn't provide a search function for keywords so I figured I'd make an export of all tickets and do the search manually in Excel, because searching ticket by ticket when you have 1,000s of tickets is very time-consuming.


Now that I've made some exports, it seems as if the body text of the tickets isn't included in the export. Doesn't Freshdesk provide this option? 


Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,


There is an export button in the tickets menu. You can export all fields from your ticket to CSV or Excel directly. Freshdesk will email you the file.



@Antony: this only exports the ticket or contact fields plus some time/date fields. It does not export ticket content i.e. description and subsequent discussion.



New here, but being a programmer I'd use API to pull it all out, preferably in text format and not HTML. https://developers.freshdesk.com/api/#conversations



Hello, 


The description of the ticket can be obtained from the UI. Click on Show multiline text fields and choose Description. Please refer to the screenshots below:





To obatin the conversations present in the ticket, you can make use of List all conversations API:

Hope this helps.

Cheers!
