Hi,We have the ‘direction’ set to ‘ltr’ so the chat widget displays in bottom left. The iframe is set to width 100%. However, the iframe blocks clicks to any content under it which causes issues. How do we resolve this please?
Hello - I would like to be able to do the following:When a conversation is assigned to a specific group in Freshchat. It should trigger a message to be sent to a Space in Google Chat with a link to that conversation from Freshchat.Would appreciate hearing how this might be possible. Thanks!Justin
Hi All, I recently deployed a self-serve bot to my company’s website and I have reports that while the chat session is open the 1st Hello flow I created triggers at random intervals (no rhyme or reason), sometimes it triggers itself at 8 minutes of session time, sometimes 14, sometimes 20 etc. To combat this I’ve added an inactivity timer so that if the session is inactive for 8 minutes it should trigger an end chat/inactive flow I created, however, the inactivity timer isn’t being triggered either. Any ideas as to what I may be missing?
Im new to freshdesk, currently implementing our APIs in freshdeck chatbot, is there a way for me to whitelist only freshdesk chatbot IP to access our APIs. cant seem to find the documentation for this.
We have an issue whereby our ‘emails clicked’ data and metrics are clearly including automated ‘bot’ clicks related to safelink tracking.Has anyone faced this issue and dealt with it?Freshworks appear unable to resolve our issue, hopefully the community can!Many thanks.
We would like to build a bot that allows us to collect data, store it and present back to user at the end of the conversation for them to confirm all is ok or to go back to the dialog that has incorrect data, but if we have 10 questions and they go back to question 3, we don't want them to have to fill in the answers again for questions 4-10. Any ideas please?

Here’s the implementation JS we have:<style> .chat-button { position: fixed; bottom: 15px; right: 15px; background-color: #1c3e76; color: white; border: none; font: inherit; outline: inherit; padding: 15px; height: 50px; box-shadow: 0 5px 30px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15),0 5px 4px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.26); border-radius: 34px 8px 34px 34px; cursor: pointer; border-radius: 34px 8px 34px 34px; font-family: inherit!important; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-animation-name: zoomIn; animation-name: zoomIn; -webkit-animation-duration: .4s; animation-duration: .4s; -webkit-animation-fill-mode: both;
Is it possible to embed videos in the chat bot response? For example, I want to add a button in the response “Watch a Quick Demo”. When user click on it, I want to play a video (in the chat window itself)
If we populate the Fresh Messaging FAQs can these articles be made available as a searchable webpage in my site (separate to chat icon -- which people may prefer not to explore until they have a specific desire for chat)?Additionally, this would also allow us to reference these articles in emails.
Is there a way to customize FreshChat icons on the website when the chat is online/offline? This gives a clear visual cue to the customers on Chat available or not.
Anyone else notice that the contextual discussion function, where you can type in a Task’s comment “@Robert “ to have the comment directed to other folks in your firm, is intentionally broken? Per support below, you now have to deploy Slack to your organization in order to do this going forward. The native functionality has been replaced…. Ugh. My school will not be implementing Slack this decade, so now what? If you are missing this functionality as well, please raise it with support. 8/18/21 Original support ticket statement: The discussion function in a Project's task is down, and has been down for at least a week.

My situation is this: I am a developer attempting Freshchat API integration with our web application.I cannot use the default Freshchat widget as the iframe it creates doesn't play well with our url router.Starting the conversation seems like it would be easy enough: Secret keys are stored on server (not public) Wrap Freshchat API calls on the server side Client asks for a new conversation (make or lookup userId) Client starts new conversation Agent on Freshchat receives the message The WrinkleMy agent can reply in Freshchat to the message, but how can I send that data back to my client?My Stack will not allow me to send my client an unprompted message—we work on RESTful API calls.
