Creating contacts always says Another contact exists with the same email

We have a weird issue trying to create a new contact for a customer and wondering what factors would need to be involved for this to occur. I cant give examples or screenshots here without divulging customer info but when trying to create the contact we enter a full name, email, click Save and under the email it shows 'This value is already in use' and at the top it states Another contact exists with the same email.None of the customers we are trying to create exist in any way that we have the ability to search. I have used the solutions found such as converting to an agent as well as adding dummy emails and the same thing occurs. We were find last week, this issue only started today.

Cannot scroll on iOS with Mint

We have now found that on an iPhone or iPad we cannot scroll on a page. This is the case when using several different browsers. We therefore assume customers with iOS devices cannot read our KB properly. Do others have this same issue? It works fine on Android.

Search function needs to update results in real time based on each keystroke

Users are not able to find the solutions unless they type in a full keyword. For example "w9" gets no results but "W9 form" does. I have added so many tags for every combination. Is there a minimum number of characters a customer must enter in search before receiving results?Everyone is used to google and other search engines that adjust results based on each keystroke. This would be a very great feature to add as is currently prohibits and frustrates customers.

Solutions articles edit history

Hi all, I just wanted to know, if there's any chance to access the edits history for solution articles?If not, then it might be considered as quite important feature request, as it allows to track all edits and see the agents involved. For example, if accidentally some important part has been removed, there would be a chance to roll-back the edit or at least copy the information from the older revision. Otherwise, I do not see any possibility to track the edits and undo some changes.

Checking Existing Tickets Through Customer E-Mail

Hi, I am integrating Freshdesk with a Chatbot. So far I managed to work the integration via REST API so that users are able to create a ticket through the chatbot workflow.Now I need to allow users to check the status of their opened tickets, and I tried to do this filtering tickets by the user email:https://mycompany.freshdesk.com/api/v2/tickets?email=useremail@mail.comOn Postman I get the right response, something like this:[ { "cc_emails": [], "fwd_emails": [], "reply_cc_emails": [], "ticket_cc_emails": [], "fr_escalated": false, "spam": false, "email_config_id": null, "group_id": null, "priority": 1, "requester_id": 77774536608, "responder_id": null, "source": 2, "company_id": null, "status": 2, "subject": "subject", "association_type": null, "to_emails": null, "product_id": null, "id": 45, "type": "type", "due_by": "2019-07-15T20:00:

Updating custom tickets fields using the API

Hello,Is it possible to use the API for updating tickets fields?. We have some custom fields that need to be updated and Fresh Desk is extremely slow when you try to edit custom fields with large amount of items. Some times our browser have totally stopped to work when we have try to add a new item to a custom field. Right now we have some custom fields with more than 600 items.

Updating custom field choices from webhooks

Hi there,Please consider the following scenario. Customers on the horizontal row are 'Providers', customers on the vertical column are 'Consumers'.If looking at Provider Cust1, I can see this provider serves Consumers Cust4 and 5. If looking at Consumer Cust4, I can see they consume services from Providers Cust1 and 2:In an ideal world I would: Set up Cust1,2,3,4,5,6 as FreshSales Accounts. Add a custom field 'Type' that allowed choices 'Provider' and 'Consumer' to distinguish the Account customer types. Add a second custom lookup field that referenced Accounts and allowed a multi select of choices.Unfortunately a multi select lookup field is not available... :(Can anyone please suggest a workaround for achieving this relationship between Account records?

Service Contract Tagging

What is the best way to show our support staff that a customer has a service contract? A tag seems like the best route, however, it's buried deep inside the customer data and not at the ticket level which is the general view our support staff is in.
