Contacts & Companies

I have setup SSO for a new freshdesk account and am trying to work out how i have Freshdesk know about all our employees, so that when i go to create a ticket i can select and assign it to them.  i cannot see anywhere in the settings that seems to support this - can anyone advise?

Hi all, I am new to Freshdesk and I want to use our extisting customer accounts (from the database of our company’s website). I want our customers to be able to create tickets on the freshdesk customer portal via their existing accounts created our company’s website. I can see that there is an import option using csv files, but I need an option to migrate passwords too.In the long run I need a solution where our customers need to register only one account for using our services and a support desk service too.Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks,Gabor

Hi, we recently have a joint customer account in FreshDesk who now want to go their separate ways. Even though the mobile number has been deleted from the contact to create a new account for the other customer, any calls and text are still creating and logging under the previous joint account. We’re aware we can completely delete the contacts to start from scratch but we don’t want to loose previous tickets/communications with the customers. Is there a possibility to have a function allowing us to unmerge customers or tickets please?

Hello,We are attempting to sync our contacts with Office 365. While we have successfully installed the Outlook Sync App, the synchronization does not initiate.Does someone know the necessary permissions in Office 365 to enable contact synchronization? Additionally, how can we manually start the sync process?Thank you.

Hello!Please, I would like to hide certain custom fields in contacts, to certain agents. Maybe an app that allows me to perform this action, or how it can be done with roles, if they give me the configuration.I appreciate your help.

Ever since I’ve used Freshdesk, there are about 20 contacts with “@freshworks” or “@freshdesk” email addresses. They were simply there when I was onboarded. They clutter up my contact list. Is it OK to delete them? When I go to delete them, I get a pop-up message saying “When you delete a contact, all future communication from this contact will be marked as spam. Are you sure you want to proceed?”I just want to make sure I don’t miss an important message from one of them from a support perspective. Also, if I do delete a contact, say by accident, how do I stop them from being treated as spam? Do I just need to set them up again?Thanks in advance for any direction.Dave

How can I filter contact based on the business sector of their compagny ? 

Hi, can I set a limit numer of tickets submitted by a specific customer?

Hi everyone, I have been using Freshdesk with my support team for a year and I still have several things I can’t do (or at least, I have not found how to do them).First and foremost is the possibility to filter tickets, contacts and companies using contact or company fields (and more precisely custom fields). For instance, par of our customers have an « autonomy » contract while the other part have more assistance with several options in their contracts.I set it up in Freshdesk with several checkboxes (one for each additional option)I would like to be able to :list all companies with such or such option filter contact in companies with such or such option filter tickets with such or such optionI can access this by exporting my data but this doesn’t really help my support team for their daily work. Another example is the company name. In the standard company name, we put a numerical ID (because most of the time, this is the name we use internally). But sometimes, we have to search for t

I would like to ask if the contacts can login to mobile app? or only the Agent?

Hi -  Trying to import csv from another CRM (contacts), Freshworks advises me "to make sure every record is imported, check if your file has data in these mandatory fields"  A popup then says : Fill any one unique fieldEmailsExternal ID … WHERE are those fields supposed to be?  I cant see them on the mapping or original csv I'm importing.  Do I add them?  Kindly clarify, confusedly, Jason

how to import my domain (Companie) mail id into freshdesk as contact

We had an issue that a Contact was flagged as SPAM. It took way to long to go through 2800 records looking for the contacts emails and marking them as not spam. It would have been much easier to be able to sort my contact so it would have grouped all of them together and reduced missing some of them.  

Hi, I’m new to freshworks. I’m unable to verify my company. How to fix it? can anybody help?

Hello there,I have a problem after getting a call in freshdesk.When someone calling us you can see his name - and it’s all ok. But after clickin it:  It doesn’t open specific contact - which will be easier to look for every tickets on this customer.It’s open all contact that we have saved.Is there any solution to open a specific contact after clicking his name?Thanks all for helping!

Hi all, We’re trying to get set up here. I’ve created a freshdesk app in Azure, and successfully SSO agents in, grantng agent roles within the azure APP.  However, configuring SSO for contacts gives a completely different identifier so i can’t link it to the same app. Considering the Azure freshdesk app has roles for both agents and contacts, it seems logical that one azure app is intended for agents and contacts Am i missing something here? can the SSO method for agents be re-used for contacts without making a new one?  if so, how?. If not, what do you do? 

I would like to ensure that all contacts who have submitted a ticket are associated with a client, so that future emails/tickets from them are handled correctly. How can I find a list of my contacts with no company? I I click on Contacts from the sidebar, it defaults to a client, and I can’t find a way to see those who are not associated with any company.

 Hello I’m Sato of Digital Stacks in Japan. I know about two ways of Contact deletion.(1) Delete → Restore(2) Delete → Delete foreverIn case of acting these 4 operations, there are no eMail message to the target contact. Is this a specification ?Please reply if you know.  Best regards,Sato

I have a user that used to have an account with his email, but things got moved around, and I want him to take over an existing account.   I tried to rename the user, was told he has an account and I have to remove it.So I deleted that account.  Now I tried to change the email to that and receive the following “Please retry in a while, the permanent deletion of this contact is still being processed.”That has been more than 24 hours, how long does it take, that user had no tickets, no work, was more of a placeholder!Thanks.
