Validated json string gets error creating ticket

The ticket works sending just “123”Any ideas? { "description": "<pre&gt;***************************************************************************************************&lt;br&gt;QQube Synchronizer - Starting Time: 06/22/2024 12:05:28 PM - Setup Wizard&lt;br&gt;Application Version 10.1&lt;/pre&gt;", "subject": "Log file from #0 Demo User Success 6/22/2024 12:05:28 PM Full", "email": "matt@clearify.com", "priority": 1, "status": 1 }

Hi,we are using Azure Data Factory copy function to get data from Freshdesk and copy it to Azure Storage (Data Lake) using the REST API. This has recently stopped working with Bad Request error 400.The connection is successful it’s the getting the data bit from the Freshdesk view that is failing.Have there been any changes recently that could explain this? Interestingly the same thing in Microsoft Power Business Intelligence still works. Thank you in advance for any responses, much appreciated.Ravi

Problems Processing Webhook Data in Azure PowerShell Runbook

I have a webhook runbook set up on a hybrid worker in Azure that is written in PowerShell 5.1. When the runbook is triggered, the webhookdata object that is delivered is null. Below is the simple test script I’ve created as a starting point using an example from Microsoft documentation.When it runs, the WebHookData object that is delivered by the webhook is null. param ( [Parameter (Mandatory = $false)] [object] $WebHookData )if ($WebHookData) { write-information $WebHookData if (-not $WebHookData.RequestBody) { $WebHookData = (Convertfrom-Json -inputobject $WebHookData) write-information $WebHookData } $WebHookData | set-content -path "<some path>" -force $VMS = (convertfrom-json -inputobject $WebHookData.RequestBody) write-information $VMS }else { write-information "WebHookData is null" } At one point, I was receiving data, but at some point, it stopped for reason I cannot figure out.

Onboarding API Returns Undocumented Status

The */api/v2/onboarding_requests endpoint returns a status of 4 on some onboarding requests. The only documented statuses range from 1-3. Any ideas what a status of 4 indicates? My only guess is that these are finished requests that had tickets that are now closed.

Custom object API

Hello members, I would like to get the details from the custom object in freshdesk and update the same detail in the ticket field when the ticket is created. Could you please help me if this is possible? I know we can get the info of a custom object and update a ticket (using API and other method via workflow) But I’m not finding a way to achieve this, retrieving an info from the Custom Object and updating it in the ticket field when a ticket is created. Thanks in advance for your help.

OAuth 2.0 Web Request in Workflow Automator

Hey everyone, we currently have the need for us that we need to create a new entity after a special service request has been raised in another tool we use. This is only possible via API Request. The issue I now have is that the application only allows OAuth2.0 and Freshservice does not support it.Especially getting the Bearer token is impossible as the standard OAuth2.0 needs Content-Type to be application/x-www-form-urlencoded and this is not supported. Is there any way possible or do we need to ask for a feature request?

Jira opened from Freshdesk - How can I change the Jira reporter to something other than my Admin?

I don't know if this is the right place to ask the question, but here goes:I am a Jira admin. I was asked to provide an API key and Webhook url for the purposes of integrating Freshservice and our Jira. Now all the Jiras being created by Freshdesk have me as the reporter.I tried to create a separate Jira admin just for that purpose, but that admin does not have Jira global permissions and I cannot grant them. Without the global permissions, I cannot provide a Webhook url with that account (I can provide the API key). Does the integration really require from Jira both the API key and the Webhook? Can they be integrated with just the API key? Does it have to be an admin with global permissions who provides the API key? The admin I created can create an API key and I would really rather use that account Is it possible to configure the “Reporter” name from Freshservice so that the name is not me?

Ticket creation automation > Webhook > Update ticket via API

So, I created automation rule on ticket creation. This rule triggers webhook and send ticket details to my ecommerce website endpoint. Ticket content (subject, email, content) are being processed, compared against my ecommerce existing data and based on all this, I’m trying to assign ticket to group/agent, set priority etc. But, when I try to do ticket update via api, I receive a message: 'POST method is not allowed. It should be one of these method(s): GET, PATCH, PUT, DELETE'Ticket update via api, normaly, works just fine in all other cases. Only in this scenarion it will not work. Why? Is it some kind of loop in here? And what is the alternative?

How to get the base64data from an image on freshdesk?

My quesstionHow do I extract the base64 data from embedded images within freshdesk tickets?ContextThe images are hosted on freshdesk with a link such as https://attachment.freshdesk.com/inline/attachment?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJpZCI6OTIwMjE0MDI3NywiZG9tYWluIjoiY2lyY3VtZmxleC5mcmVzaGRlc2suY29tIiwiYWNjb3VudF9pZCI6MzAwOTIzfQ.B3CzU2v9lyl4dq7uW6XEjF_oK5IPt__HCKN58RJDNMk . When getting those images, I get a byte stream. That is convertible to base64 data by using a byte to ascii function. This should all work in theory, but in practise I can’t make it work.GoalReplace tickets’ images with their base64 data, to upload on another service:<img src="https://attachment.freshdesk.com/inline/attachment?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJpZCI6OTIwMjE0MDI3NywiZG9tYWluIjoiY2lyY3VtZmxleC5mcmVzaGRlc2suY29tIiwiYWNjb3VudF9pZCI6MzAwOTIzfQ.B3CzU2v9lyl4dq7uW6XEjF_oK5IPt__HCKN58RJDNMk " data-id="9198554508" alt="image.png" width="562" height="181"><img src="data:image

GET request issue (API)

In the below url : f'https://{FRESHDESK_DOMAIN}.freshdesk.com/api/v2/search/tickets?query="created_at:{date1}"&page={i}'I am passing date1 in 'YYYY-MM-DD' format but i am unable to get the result if I pass in 'YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS' format.Also I guess it would be better if you guys increase the page limit in GET requests. It is possible that there are more than 300 tickets created at any date, in that case it won’t be possible to fetch all of them.

Project Task API - 401 Error

I randomly get a 401 error when calling ‘Statuses’, ‘Priorities’, and ‘Types’.This happens in Postman and via my powershell script (v5.1). The pm API does not work with PSv7.The odd thing is, the 401 failure does not happen every time, It does not happen on the same project every time. If it fails, I can call it again and it will work.I’ve tried inserting a wait timer of 15 second between api calls - that does not solve it.I never had a problem before 3/20/2024. The issue started on 3/28/2024. I made no attempts between 3/21 and 3/27.

FreshworksWidget('prefill','ticketForm', { type: ${request} })

I have a React App where I have made a React Component to call the FreshworksWidget.This works great for sending props for API commands like:`FreshworksWidget('close')``FreshworksWidget('open','ticketForm')``FreshworksWidget('open','article', { id: ${article} })` But when I try to call:`FreshworksWidget('prefill','ticketForm', { type: ${request} })` I am receiving the error `VM4910:1 Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier 'XXX'`where ‘XXX’ is the string from ${request} Is there something different in how ‘prefill’ works? All attributes of ‘prefill’ generate this error. e.g. subject, derscription, etc.

Creating Recurring tickets

Hi There Freshdesk is missing a very basic feature. You are not able to schedule a recurring ticket, for example weekly/monthly/annualy. In most industries today there are requirments to perform certain repetative actions such as maintenance and preventative maintenance. These are critical tasks and if you forget, it could have serious consequences. We must be able to create a recurring ticket in Freshdesk that will automatically create these task as per the planned schedule.Please Freshdesk I notice this has been requested before and we really require this functionality to be added.

Integrate Freshdesk Support Pages in my Website

Hi, i setup a “Help-Center” by the Freshdesk Support Pages. I started to edit the template.The Help-Center is only FAQ, nothing else.Whats the fastest way to implement this Freshdesk Support Center into my website? CNAME: I know i can setup a subdomain and modify the CNAME Con: Editing the template is really hard. I want also the header and the footer from my website there. API: I know i can get the content from freshdesk via API. But i want to keep the search-bar and the “Was this article helpful?” question. Is this possible through the API? iFrame: This is very ugly but it should work. Do you think so? Do someone knows a better solution?What would you do in my situation? Thanks in advance.
