API & Webhooks

Hi All -So the Shopify plugin is installed. How do I add ticket fields so the customer can select the order they want to reference in the ticket?Thanks!

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.

How to merge contacts in bulk , Currently i need to merge contact one by one 

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? 

Morning all,It looks like Freshdesk will basically hoard user data until I tell it otherwise. One of the key points of the UK GDPR is that Personal Data (i.e. names and emails) can only be stored for as long as necessary, however, they could be sitting in Freshdesk indefinitely unless we go in and manually ‘forget’ them.Is there any mechanism for automating this? The ideal solution would be time and status based, so a user whose tickets are all closed is ‘forgotten’ after 6 weeks?Thanks,

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.

My company provides technology solutions to external clients.  Sometimes we have a channel partner who resells our services to their end users. We have found the multiple portals option to be very handy so we can brand ourselves as our channel partner when their customers open a case in our portal.  Question: is there a way to do the same thing with email signatures - where the signature on our agents’ outgoing email responses will match the branding of the portal that the client is coming in through?

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

Hello, I found some old posts about this but no solution. Tried to google a bit for it as well but I guess I’m searching for the wrong key words. I don’t want to see the quoted text when I get a reply from a customer in my ticket. Eather remove or collapse the quoted text. Is there a built-in function for this or current app or can it be done making an app ? Comments include full comment history | Freshworks CommunityCreate an email delimiter to clean up the replies flow on ticket interface | Freshworks Community Kind regardsDaniel 

Hi, I was on a call with our new account manager and she pointed me in the direction of this app: Steps From how she explained it, it was exactly what i was looking for after years of wishing FreshDesk had that functionality.. so I was over the moon. Only to realise, the app is now deprecated and doesn’t install! The developer email just bounces too so its been completely discontinued  Is there anyone with a known alternative to this app or anyone knows any devs/if FreshDesk is working on replacing it?

Can I hide some of the built-in fields so that the agent does not need to see them?  Specificallytwitter id mobile phone work phone Unique external idI am trying to hide these fields and instead have the req’d fields on top of form (name, email, company and one more required custom field I added)I did disable them from being seen by customers but can’t do so for agents.  Here is screenshot:I would like an option to change “Display to Agent” I suppose its not possible but I think it should be if not. 

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.

Hey everybodyI was googling and searching for this for a while now, and I have not found any solution as of now. I have several teams working with Freshdesk, and we decided that they can have a dropdown for a certain type, so we are able to analyse what kind of requests are coming in.  All three teams have different cases and now everybody has a huge dropdown list with different choices. I would love to set up a dropdown for a certain group/role. So that Role/Group A only sees the dropdown for Group A and Role/Group B can only see the dropdown for B.  Is that in any way possible?  Kind regardsMike

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.

Hey guys, A few weeks back I managed to get >90% of out last few years Zendesk tickets imported. Just finished the code to convert phone calls to tickets so I thought I'd import the last 3 weeks tickets, comes to ~250 so not many. It doesn't seem to import any of them! They all error with: "It should be one of these values: '[our list of call types]' I'm hand checked the Zendesk tickets and for the most part they do have a call type that matches the list in Freshdesk. I must be missing something if the import worked fine last time. Regards, Andy

Doing a PUT an an agent to update their information returns this error:"message": "Not allowed to edit Agent's profile information(name, phone, mobile and title)", The documentation lists those fields as valid inputs.https://developer.freshdesk.com/api/#update_agent Frankly… if you cannot edit that information what *can* you update? Also, attempting to update the email gives an odd error, even when the provided value is the existing value:"message": "Email exists in multiple accounts in the org. Only org admins can edit this", Basically, I’m not able to get the update API to do anything useful. Snide comment: hate that the output from a GET is different than the input to PUT <sigh>. I have to move all the fields around. But I guess since they don’t work anyway the extra work was at least er… good for the soul?
