How to include automatic responses to a ticket

I wanted to know if there is a way of including automatic responses (as far as I know they can only be sent via email) as part of the ticket response.My concern comes from the fact that our clients do not generally check the email, but check the ticket status on a regular basis in the portal web-view (thus, the impact of having the auto-reply message within the ticket is of paramount importance).Thank you in advance for you help!

Freshdesk and the new Slack app

I have been trying to get the new Slack app integrated after using the old app successfully.When I try to connect to the Freshdesk account in Slack (Windows) I get an invalid credentials error.I have a Blossom account with API accessI've verified the API key is correct and tried generating a new one.What I'm not sure of is the Freshdesk Domain. Do I use our aliased CNAME domain (support@companyname.com) or do I use the Freshdesk org account (companynamehelp.freshdesk.com) I've tried both the the same error.

Timeline view

When using Freshdesk website and looking at a specific ticket, the emails are listed in chronological order down the page as a timeline of the issue.  This timeline even includes notes and emails sent from the responder to other departments in pursuit of a resolution.I cannot see how to acquire this timeline list using the API. For example, the ticket data does not seem to include any "thread id" or similar.Can anyone help?Kind regards,Bill

Populating dropdown

Hi,I´m evaluating Freshdesk to see if it can fit the needs of the company I work for.Consider the scenario where I want to populate a dropdown with 3-5 values depending on the selection of another dropdown. These 3-5 values are a selection from out of about 5 000 values.I would have hoped to be able to set dropdown custom field values through the API with values that are not predefined in the control through the admin interface but that is, when trying it, clearly not allowed.Any suggestions about how to handle this scenario?Kind regards,Niclas

Different mail signature based mail channels

Hi, i am a "Garden" user. My agents should answer customer questions on different channels. My customers can be divided into 2 groups. Import and normal. Normal customers can reach us via support@. Important customers can reach us via service@. My agents should work with both channels but i want to setup different signatures for each mailbox? Is there any chance to do this?The Signature Management App doesn't solve the problem because i have to chance the signature each time manually https://www.freshworks.com/apps/freshdesk/signature_management_app/ What's with products? Will i be able to setup different signatures by different products?

How can I export the content (body text) of all my tickets?

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.Gregor

Create custom page on the portal

Hello,It would be very useful if we could have a new section in the portal that is customer specific bringing in about more dynamic and customized portal experience.For example, I would like to have a new page displaying the count of ticket types(Support/ Maintenance/ Others) raised by the customer along with the ability to add and view the customer specific documents (attach files).Any idea of how this can be customized?Thanks!Meghana

Force the language per portal

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

Incorrect ticket total count

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?

Set Requester in FreshWidget

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

API in Postman

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?

API: Add ticket tags without deleting existing ones

 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?
