Updating the board is an important task that needs to be done regularly. It helps to ensure that all relevant information is visible and up-to-date. Keeping the board updated also helps to keep everyone on the same page and create a sense of unity and collaboration check out. An updated board also serves as a great reference for current and future projects. Taking the time to update the board can make all the difference in the success of a project.

Greetings from Freshworks community.

Yes, it is already a built In feature where you can setup announcement whenever you create a team dashboard.

  • Click on the ‘Announcements’ button on the top right corner of the dashboards page
  • Type your message, limited to 150 characters, in the text box
  • Hit the ‘Post’ button
  1. The broadcasted message will now show up as an announcement, with your name, time and date of publishing, for that particular team dashboard.
  2. The visibility settings of the team dashboard will be applied to the announcement as well
  3. Clicking on the announcement will take you to the ‘Announcement History’ on the slider where the announcements from the last 30 days will be listed
  4. By clicking on any of these announcements, you’ll be able to see the ‘Viewed By’ panel listing out the names of agents who viewed the announcement from the dashboard
  5. You can click on the ‘Stop’ button to remove the broadcast from the team dashboard
  6. Once you post an announcement, the agents will be notified via the in-app notification, inside Freshdesk. Clicking the announcement on the notification section will mark it as ‘read’.

I have been searching for a solution within Freshdesk that allows me to efficiently communicate updates and changes to all agents in our helpdesk. Specifically, I am looking for an app or built-in feature that enables me to post updates along with screenshots to notify agents of any modifications made to the helpdesk. These changes could include new automation rules, added apps, or any other relevant updates that may impact their workflow.

Hey Everyone, Freshdesk supports automation rules. While these are typically used to automate ticket handling, you can potentially set up rules to notify agents about specific changes or updates. However, this might require customization and testing.

Great suggestion utilizing internal communication channels like Slack or Microsoft Teams is a smart move to keep everyone in the loop about helpdesk changes. Creating a dedicated channel for update announcements, and screenshots ensures that the team stays well-informed and can easily reference important information.

This not only enhances communication but also contributes to a more organized and efficient workflow. Thanks for sharing this valuable tips..

Great idea Using platforms like Slack or Microsoft Teams for helpdesk updates keeps everyone informed. A dedicated channel with announcements and screenshots enhances communication and boosts efficiency.

Hi LiamRApprentice0,

While Freshdesk doesn't have a dedicated app for agent updates within the interface, there are a couple of ways to achieve your goal of notifying them about changes:

1. Freshdesk Forums (Built-in):

  • Freshdesk offers built-in forums that can be a great platform to share updates and announcements with your agents.
  • You can create specific forums for different topics like "Helpdesk Updates" or "Automation Rules."
  • Include details about the changes, screenshots if necessary, and pin important announcements for easy access.
  • Agents can subscribe to forums to receive notifications for new posts.

2. Freshdesk Messaging (Internal):

  • Freshdesk Messaging allows you to send internal messages to individual agents or agent groups.
  • This can be useful for more targeted updates or those requiring immediate attention.
  • You can include text, links, and even attach screenshots within the message.

3. Custom Help Desk Articles:

  • You can create specific help desk articles detailing recent changes or new features.
  • This can be a centralized location for documentation that agents can refer to at any time.

4. Integration with External Tools:

  • Freshdesk offers integrations with various project management or communication tools like Slack or Microsoft Teams.
  • These integrations might allow you to create channels or send notifications to agents about updates.

Additional Tips:

  • Standardize Your Approach: Choose a consistent method (e.g., forum posts) for updates to ensure agents know where to find information.
  • Versioning and Changelogs: Consider maintaining a version history or changelog for major changes within Freshdesk.

By using these methods, you can effectively communicate updates and keep your Freshdesk agents informed about changes within the helpdesk system.

Bonus: Enhance Agent Onboarding (Optional):

While you focus on keeping agents informed, consider creating a comprehensive onboarding process for new agents. This can help them quickly get familiar with Freshdesk functionalities and improve their overall efficiency.

Freshdesk doesn't have an app to tell agents about changes directly inside the system, but there are still ways to keep them in the loop! Here are a few easy ideas:

  1. Freshdesk Forums (built right in): Imagine Freshdesk having a notice board. You can create sections for different topics, like "Helpdesk Updates" or "New Tricks." Add details about the changes, pictures if needed, and pin important stuff so everyone sees it easily. Agents can sign up to get notified about new posts.

  2. Freshdesk Messaging (like internal chat): This is good for quick updates that need attention right away, or for messages to specific people or teams. You can write, include links, and even add pictures.

  3. Help Desk Articles (like mini manuals): You can create articles explaining new features or recent changes. This is a central location for info that agents can look at any time.

  4. Connect Freshdesk to other tools (like Slack or Teams): Freshdesk can connect with other programs you might use to chat with your team. This might let you create channels or send notices to agents about updates.

Here are some extra tips:

  • Pick one way to update everyone (like always using the forums). This way, agents know where to look for info.
  • Keep track of changes (like a version history). This is helpful for remembering what changed when.

By following these tips, you can easily keep your Freshdesk agents up-to-date on anything new that's happening!

Bonus! While you're at it, why not make it even easier for new agents to learn the ropes? You can create a great onboarding process to show them the cool things Freshdesk can do. This will make them more efficient in no time!
