I was wondering while creating contact through the API there is no password param. What if contact is signing up through an API with fresh desk API?

Thanks in advance.

    Hello Zain,


    The API allows you to create contacts but enabling the account/verifying the account has to be done manually by the actual user. Once the contact is created, Freshdesk sends an email notification with the link to setup the account using which the user can setup the password.


    Cheers!

    Hello Zain,


    Freshdesk API allows you to create a contact with just the twitter ID (ie.Twitter handle) of the user. We haven't opened up avenues to create an user using their Facebook profiles.

    Hi Zain,


    Can you please verify if the option User activation email under Admin -> Email notifications -> Requester notifications section has been turned on?


    Cheers!
