Hi,

I am trying to use API to create a ticket, it is working fine

without assets, but when I add an asset, it gives me an error message

"We're sorry, but something went wrong. We've been notified about this

issue and we 'll take a look at it shortly".






The request :
{

"helpdesk_ticket":{

"description":"Some details on the issue ...",

"subject":"Support needed..",

"email":"hulk@outerspace.com",

"priority":1, "status":2, "source":2,"ticket_type":"Incident",



"assoc_asset_id":12,

 },

"cc_emails":"superman@marvel.com,avengers@marvel.com"

}




(I already have an asset with ID=12 )



Can you advise?






Best,



Waseem

Hi Waseem




Could you please try the below method and let me know if that works?




curl -u user@yourcompany.com:test -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{ "helpdesk_ticket": { "description": "Details about the issue...", "subject": "Support Needed...", "email": "tom@outerspace.com", "priority": 1, "status": 2 }, "associate_ci":{"serial_no":"ABC12345","name":"my printer","user":"rachel@freshdesk.com"} }' -X POST http://domain.freshservice.com/helpdesk/tickets.json

Dear Rada,

I suppose that method will create a ticket and an asset "My printer", then assign that asset to the ticket.
I have tried it, it creates a ticket successfully without errors, but it does't create the asset "my printer".
However, I need to assign an existed asset to the ticket.

Best,
Waseem

Hi Waseem




The code will not create an asset. It will create a ticket and link an existing asset that exist in your inventory.




In the above code, please mention the existing asset's serial number, name and used by details.




Will be glad to get on a call and help.

Hello,

I tried creating a ticket in FreshService referring to the below link and created a ticket in FreshService successfully.

https://github.com/freshdesk/fresh-samples/blob/master/JAVA/httpclient4x/src/main/java/com/freshdesk/httpclient4x/CreateTicket.java


Now, I need to create a ticket with an associated Asset. I referred to the solution @Radhahad mentioned. But the ticket is not getting created, and I am getting the below response:

Response Status : 302

Response Body :

<html><body>You are being <a href="https://prakharsinha.freshservice.com/helpdesk/tickets.json">redirected</a>.</body></html>


Could anyone please help me creating a ticket with Asset using Java API.


Thanks & Regards,

Ganga

Hi Amutha,


You can construct a script to include payload like below,


{ "helpdesk_ticket": { "description": "Details about the issue...", "subject": "Support Needed...", "email": "tom@outerspace.com", "priority": 1, "status": 2 }, "associate_ci":{"serial_no":"C1MN8BGUDTY3"} }


The serial number is a mandatory field to associate a CI to a Ticket. Also, currently we only support default CI type Hardware to be associated with a Ticket. So, please verify if your code supports the same.


If still you are encountering issues around this please raise a support ticket and we are happy to assist with it.

Hi Thushan,


I raised a support ticket for the same and the issue is resolved. Since I am using v2.0 APIs, I used the below script to associate an asset with a ticket:


{"ticket":{"description":"Testing from Java ...","subject":"JAVA Support needed..","email":"amutha.ganga@erasmith.com","priority":4,"status":2,"type":"Incident","associate_ci":{"name":"Era Desktop"}}}


Thanks for your time.
