API and Webhooks

Hello Experts,I have couple of queries related to decommissioning of password based authentication feature. link for one of our application as of now we are accessing the freshservice api’s using basic authentication, where we pass the api key of the agent in user name and X in the password and generate base 64. After May 2023 would this basic authentication be still possible? in general for api key based authentication, we pass the apikey name & value in header, but what is the keyname to be passed for fresh api’s? Is there any key header? /Deva

I need a way to separate  Preventative Maintenance ticket from the Incidents ticket , how do you do so in Fresh desk? 

Is there a way to view REST API usage data for an account for a given time period? The only way I know this is possible today is to check the `X-RateLimit-Total` and `X-RateLimit-Remaining` response headers.

Hello,  We have a number of custom fields in the companies table that return successfully via the API. Recently we added a new custom field and it is not returning any values through the API https://companyname.freshdesk.com/api/v2/companiesThe new custom field was added 3 weeks ago.Any ideas as to why the new field may not be coming through?ThanksMatt

One BUTTON on my page, to raise a support request, prefills fields like subject and description (FreshworksWidget('prefill', 'ticketForm', )). So, if a user clicks that button I open the widget and it shows the prefilled fields.If the user decides to close the widget without submitting the support request, then every time they open the widget on that page by clicking the bottom right WIDGET ICON, they will have the prefilled fields. Even though they are no longer clicking on the button where the prefilled details are relevant.Is there any way I can say that, if the bottom right widget icon is clicked, clear any prefilled fields (FreshworksWidget('clear', 'ticketForm', {});)?

Hi everyone, I am currently downloading info of tickets extracting from webpage.I decided to go for the API service of freshdesk and analyzed the responde of the call.The output of the call still lack some info such as: - Agent Interactions- Customer Interactions- Survey Result- Initial Response Time- First Response Time (in Hrs)- Resolution Time (in Hrs) The actual API call is the following one:GET “https://domain.freshdesk.com/api/v2/tickets?updated_since=2021-01-01T00:00:00Z&page=1&per_page=100&include=stats,requester,company,description” I think that the only way to retrieve these calculated fields will be to get conversations and make some operations.The only thing I found is that it is possible to download the conversations only for single ticket.Is there someone who has experience with the download via API of all the conversations of all tickets just with one call?It seems it is not something already integrated via API, is there someone interested in upvote this requ

Agent is not required when submitting a ticket:But I’m getting 400 Bad Request response status when attempting to create an unassigned ticket via the API:{  "description": "Validation failed",  "errors": [    {      "field": "responder_id",      "message": "It should be a/an Positive Integer",      "code": "invalid_value"    }  ]} This old post seems to confirm responder_id is not required: What am I doing wrong?

Filter ticket api was not working like before: 'https://domain.freshservice.com/api/v2/tickets/filter?query="priority:3"if I use this before, I got response like as expected. Now it was showing Zero tickets even though I have tickets with priority: 3

Hello,I am creating a PO through the API based on a ticket. I can fill one custom value. It doesn’t matter if the custom field is on the ticket or the PO. However, when I try to do two, it fails.Do I have a separate entry for each entry, e.g. "custom_fields": {    "requestor": "{{ticket.requester.name}}"  }, "custom_fields": {    "shipping address": "{{ticket.shipping_address}}"  },or do it do it combined? "custom_fields": {    "requestor": "{{ticket.requester.name}}"    "shipping address": "{{ticket.shipping_address}}"  }, 

Hello everyone! I need to add a dropdown to my record view (for example to Contact view).But I would like that this dropdown would have items id’s; the generic dropdown field doesn’t have the option to add id to their items. Some one knows if its possible?‘Cause I’m developing a custom API, and I think that would be easier work with the options id of the dropdowns. Regards.

Hey, Is there any way to create a child ticket using an APIs? Or is there a way to create a ticket using the create ticket API and then link it to a parent ticket? For context, I want to build a workflow where I use the outbound email API to send an email. And then link that ticket to a parent ticket.

Account has tickets more 30 000 items. Using Freshdesk REST API v2 I can load max 30 000 tickets (max page number: 300 and max 100 items per page). How I can load all tickets? 

Hi, everyonefirst of all, sorry for my bad english and sorry in case the question has already been asked. I don't know how that means what I'm looking for, so I'll just call it a follow up ticket. I have the type offer in my tickets. if a customer requests an offer, we create a ticket and the ticket remains open until the customer has decided on the offer. if he refuses, the ticket is closed and everything is ok. But if he agrees, I don't know what the best solution is. it's mostly about hardware and a service. From my point of view, I should close the first ticket with the offer and create a second ticket for the installation. is there a way to automate this? that the ticket is closed, but another ticket is created from the closed ticket? or is it better to keep the open ticket and change the type of offer on order? I just think that the evaluation of the tickets will then be somewhat falsified.

Hi,I was wondering if there is any possibility to match, through an API or not, Tuya with FreshDesk. We want to centralize tickets coming from an app (using Tuya) in FreshDesk with the others tickets, coming from the website or social media ? What are the others possibilities that FreshDesk API can afford ?  Thanks

Hi all, I’ve tried many ticketing systems but I finally found my way to FreshDesk. I am building my own support portal for my product which uses the FreshDesk API to use its functionalities. The portal primarily focuses on creation, retrieving and updating tickets. But I also want my users to be able to reply. Now I am getting the error that I cannot use my admin API key to reply on behalf of a user as I am using an app-only way of implementation. I understand that I would need the assumption feature, which is only included from the Pro package on forward. I must say; that’s a big step for a pretty small company which is just starting up. I have to say I was a little disappointed seeing this simple and fairly common user delegation being limited by a plan… I am using the Growth plan. Now, I can just reply as the admin’s account (from which I am using the API Key). But now the user will still receive an email that the admin has replied to their ticket (which is not true). How can I disa

Hello, I have a scenario, where I want to send out an automated reply to a customer and include CC’d emails. When doing this through UI -it is done automatically, however if I use automation with trigger webhook towards api/v2/tickets/{{ticket.id}}/reply - it only sends email to contact in TO. Same happens if I use automation action “send email to requester” API definition has “cc_emails” that can be included in message json, but there’s no placeholder to populate this data into Automation. So, I’m wondering if there’s a way to send automated ticket reply and include CC’d emails included in original ticket.

Hello,we would like to merge two Freshdesk organizations. What is the best way to proceed here? kind regardsJan

Hi all,How do you other Freshdesk users measure and report on Average Handling Times by agents?We have recently abandoned the use of a Marketplace app to track how much time agents spend on tickets. This uses the Timelogs feature in tickets, which can be reported on at Reports > Timesheet Summary as well as on the API endpoint: https://developers.freshdesk.com/api/#time-entries. Recently, we've moved on to the newly added Average Handling Time feature by Freshworks. We found that we're only able to report on the entries through the Curated report provided by Freshworks/Freshdesk. The entries aren't available through API which is a great strain on our Business Intelligence efforts. 

I have a WordPress site with Gravity form integrated with fresh-desk. All the data are properly coming through the website to the Freshdesk portal but the issue is that whenever the user field one form it creates 2 tickets in the Freshdesk portal. Not sure why 2 tickets are created, it should be only one.

I am working with a student housing business and I'm struggling to implement automation for certain mundane tasks. The student housing business is a middleman between the student and landlord. Sort of like an airbnb but multi unit buildings. One primary nuance is my inability to set up some type of trigger that would be set into action upon a response from the multiple landlords who manage the apartment buildings. Some of the buildings have an ever changing list of room availability and the landlords do not have systems in place to track the room availability (inventory) in real time. To be able to effectively provide up to date availability to students, there needs to be a way to retrieve availability from the landlords, sometimes daily. But it has to be a very simplistic method for the landlords. Perhaps availability can quickly and easily be updated by the landlord If an email could be sent with an imbedded API capable form consisting of tickable radio buttons followed by the variou

I have Enterprise plan and use Freshdesk REST API v2. When I trying import of file to message that was created by a customer(not agent), Freshdesk API returns error with status 403: {"code":"access_denied","message":"You are not authorized to perform this action."}. How I can import attachments for such messages? 

As the account admin I “Create[d] an XML file with all [my] data from this Freshdesk Support Desk account.” at Admin >  Account Settings > Export Data. I now have a .zip file that contains .xml files for tickets, users, groups, companies, and solutions. This is perfect, but I want to be able to import this back into my Freshdesk Support Desk account after making a change to the .xml files. Please see my comment below for my attempts.
