API and Webhooks

Hi,I'm hoping an experienced user has a suggestion for me.We've been using Freshdesk for 7 years and we have a multilingual setup, but not using Freshdesk's multilingual options, because this didn't exist yet 7 years ago.We have 4 support portals based on the products that our company offers. 2 products are in Dutch and 2 products are in English. This has always worked by setting the portal languages individually. This setup was adviced by Freshdesk during the time that they still gave us good and proactive support.Our main helpdesk language is Dutch, but when you have multiple portals, you can also set a language per portal. For some time now, this setting doesn't have any effect anymore:On our English portals, default interface texts are now displayed in Dutch. This was never the case until recently.I have talked to 2 support agents that kept on giving me wrong information and blamed it on unrelated customisations. (One of our English portal doesn't have customisations and it has the

I'm getting the wrong total ticket count from the API. The request I'm doing is https://(instance).freshdesk.com/api/v2/search/tickets?query=status:2. The response contains 10 records, but the "total" field is 17. In the UI I'm also seeing 10 unresolved tickets. Why does the API return 17, and can this be fixed?

Hi,When we use the handy FreshWidget generator from the Admin tab, it generates the scrips and such to put a "Support" button on our website that autosubmits to FreshDesk.  That is very handy.However, how do we autofill fields in the form that this FreshWidget pops up?  For example, we'd like to set the requester field on the form to be the email that the user has used to login to *our* website, instead of making them type in the email.I don't see this documented anywhere, and unfortunately, without being able to autofill the Requester field, FreshWidget is not of much use to us.Thanks

Hi,  I'm trying to test the API in Postman but I am having some difficulty with authentication in Postman.  The images below are 1) the recommended curl from the api documentation and 2) how I am translating that to Postman.  I am using the example to prevent from posting any sensitive info, but I use my url and API key in the same format.  Can anyone recommend how to get up and running in Postman?

 Hi,If I understand your API docs correctly, the update ticket endpoint will accept a "tags" attribute but it will replace all tags the ticket has with the ones I send.I'd like to add new tags without deleting the existing ones, and without having to send them in my request, as concurrency errors originating from multiple requests at the same time may result in tags being lost.E.g.Ticket has tags "hello" and "world".If I do a PUT request with "tags": ["foo"], ticket will only have tag "foo" from there on, deleting tags "hello" and "world".That's not what I want, I just want the tag "foo" added to the list, so the ticket has the tags "hello", "world" and "foo".Is there a way for me to accomplish this?

Hi,  I am working on to create a freshdesk ticket within salesforce. The problem I am facing is in attaching the files using API. As per documentation attachments[] only accepts absolute file path (eg. /usr/path/test.txt). However, if i am creating ticket from salesforce, i need to give file URL like https://my.salesforce.com/filepath/test.txt. How can i pass file URL in json API. Thanks

Hi,we are at the moment implementing freshdesk and struggeling with the integration of our existing phone provider sipgate. What we want to achieve isto have a solution with the functionsIf customer is calling, Customer Name/Company should be displayed in a popupNice to have - in this popup also the las ticket from this customer (Number and Topic) and the agent who is assigned to this ticket and the status of the ticketAfter answering the call a popup should be opened, showing contact details, so that agents can create a ticket nice to have, option to automaticly create a ticket or assign call to an existing ticketwhen call ends, logging duration and agent who answered the phone, so that we can make reports and dashboard views.This could be done inside frehsdesk with the Global CTI, but we are also open for a softphone solution like softphone.pro. This we have tested for hubspot but they don't have a integration for freshdesk. Sipgate have sipgate.io which is a Push API where the call

Hello, i would like to know if it's currently possible to merge tickets via api calls ?I didn't find anything about merging tickets via API calls in the api docs. But as i know there is some functionnalities (like Forward via API , add/remove watchers and so) that are available but not mentionned in the api doc. So i hope that's the case here.Thanks.

Hi. I would like to know if it is possible to create integration where I can load the data of a customer already registered in the new ticket section just by inserting a field by connecting an api to another external application

The formatting of the description seems to be strip by the API.  I am interested in maintaining line breaks, but those seem to be striped away.I am using the code from the php example.

Hi,  Is it possible to perform a search by the subject with the API?Tranks

Dear Freshdesk Support team,​we already contacted you in ticket #3716683.We're still not able to connect Helpdesk Tickets with Jira Tickets. We already removed browser cache/cookies and checked this in an incognito window.​Our last information is that you rolled out a fix for this issue. But it is not possible to update this API key under API token section under Admin > Apps > settings next to JIRA app because we don't have any field to put in the api token.How can we solve the problem?Thanks for your support and best regardsIrina land in sicht

We noticed today, that since yesterday it seems the webhook json data is treating null differently.  ei: "freshdesk_webhook": {  "ticket_id" : 19,  "ticket_cf_customfield" : "null"}Up till yeterday webhooks were sending out:"freshdesk_webhook": {  "ticket_id" : 19,  "ticket_cf_customfield" : null}Was this an intentional change?  How are we to distinguish from the value null and a string null?  This is causing issues with our custom api integration.This only seems to be affecting webhooks, not API responses. 

We need to capture ticket events, such as Ticket status updated, ticket closed. The frontend App does allow to listen to UI events, like closeTicketClicked. But, there are multiple ways to close ticket, and not events get capture.Are there any events triggered from backend that we can listen to? 

Hello Team,I am working on Freshdesk api and now want to update a ticket with pdf attachment. can anyone please tell me how i can do it?It would be very appreciate.Thank you.

How do I view more than 30 unresolved tickets at once?I have tried adding &per_page=100 and ?per_page=100 at the end of the address line as per the API documentation however it will not work.I see a LOT of other people asking for more than 30 tickets per view as well.Why not just this in as a feature? It's not that hard...We need this!

Hello, I would like to ask about the implementation of phone calls to Freshdesk. Is it possible to connect directly via VoIP? If so, can anyone please send me how to do it? For explanation, we have our own PBX (MyPBX U100), which we need to connect to Freshdesk to pick up calls to support. However, we are not sure whether Freshdesk supports VoIP or whether it is possible to create a ticket using the API at least based on phone calls. Do you have any experience with this, or could you send me some examples how to solve this problem? I know about Frescaller, but we don't want to use their virtual PBX.  Thank you.  Regards,

Hi,I'm trying to fetch all the open tickets in my freshdesk account using the API and Angular 7.When I do the API call to fetch all tickets, I get a CORS error. This is from localhost:4200 and from my live domain that's https.Is there some kind of domain white listing that I need to do and can I connect to the API from localhost while developing and testing?

Its been some months I have been using freshdesk in my application. Yesterday on wards am getting error The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request on API calls in both production instance and test. I haven't changed anything in code.

Hi, How to get List of company contacts using company_id.

how catch the contact in api in php?

Is there a way to register a new custom field on a object using pure api calls?As part oi an app custom installation procedure, I want to create an additional custom field on the client object, but cannot find a way to perform this task using the API.I can see that I can get a list of custom fields, so could ask the admin person to perform the task on my behalf, but this will not give a good customer experience.

We received spam tickets and spam contacts, Russian letters. I've read about blocking with Dispatch'r based on Russian characters and made these rules, however...I deleted a long list of contacts (spammers), all except two, which keep reappearing even after I click delete and get a positive confirmation "2 contacts deleted" IDs:  1043230694   and  1043232260

As I understand it, I would need to imbed a valid agent's username and password in any API request. This is somewhat impractical - I am the owner and don't want my username and password made available to my programming staff; they don't want their passwords available to each other or to me, for that matter. As a small company, I will have only 3 agents altogether, so adding a non-functional API agent would be relatively expensive.Suggestion (if you agree that this type of agent could/should be free) - create an Agent restriction called "API agent" that doesn't have any authority other than to use the API -- one that doesn't chalk up a fee as a regular agent.
