Hey,Since we are taking more and more countries live in our company and therefore also want to make the Canned Responses available in all languages, we now have the following problem:At the moment we have arranged the CRs as follows:EN - titleDE - title / titleetc. This means first the country abbreviation and the title in the national language and then in EN, so that it can be found by all users.Unfortunately, however, this becomes super confusing with even more languages and the shortcut search does not necessarily show the useful CRs.Does anyone have a suggestion for this? Or how do you handle this? :)Thank you for help!BestSonja
I have incorrectly merged two tickets and want to remove this merge so that both can be worked on.Can this be done?
Hello!Has anyone had any luck with an integration that allows you to create web forms (surveys, questionnaires etc) with conditional logic that can automatically create a ticket for agents? Is there a native functionality that I’ve somehow missed?Thanks in advance!
When I click reply, the previous reply is automatically added.How do I remove this feature?
In our Freshdesk the agents create tickets as well via email. These tickets, where the requester is an agent, are not assigned to any company, as agents are not assigned to companies.How can I assign a company to such a ticket, where the requester is an agent?
I’ve created a number of custom reports in Freshdesk Analytics with Filter widgets included, for example filtering by agent, status, or ticket type. I would like to be able to download the data with those filters applied, as the data appears in the UI. The current export is providing me with all data for the report as though filters were not being applied. Is downloading filtered data an option in Freshdesk?
I’m looking at building some automation in FreshDesk to assign incoming tickets to agents based on priorities in the customer record, for instance all of the tickets where the customer territory is Scotland should come to me, like this... Has anyone implemented this before, and does anyone have any ideas on how we can deal with agents unavailability?I’m hoping that somehow we can detect if the agent is unavailable, and if they are, leave the ticket unassigned
Hi all,I’m new to freshdesk APIs and sorry if my question doesn’t make any sense.I’m working on powerBI with freshdesk API to do some analysis. I’m in need of Tickets and Time_Entries data which I requested through the API endpoins.I have noticed some of the tickets are not found as entries in “time_entries” data.for instance, take a ticket with id “6364” in “tickets” data and when I match that ticket to the time entries under “ticket_id” column I couldn’t find a entry for some tickets.Initially I thought if there is no responder then no time entries will be found. But I saw some tickets with no responder in time entries.Am I missing something here? Any help is appreciated. Thanks for the time.RegardsFazil M
I am creating an Analytics Report to capture Tickets Open for the Prior Month. Meaning, as of the last day of the month, how many tickets were open. We want to capture this information for trending purposes.As recommended by FD support, I am using the “Unresolved Tickets” Metric. The resulting count and CSV include duplicate tickets. So the counts and csv file are not accurate for the actual tickets that were Open for the prior month.How do I get a reliable list of tickets that were Open as of the last day of the month?

Hello,I use the freshdesk API to synchronize contacts and companies with our internal systems.Therefore i have to read all 23.000 contacts, which takes a lot of time. Using pagesize=100 single threaded it takes over 20 minutes. With parallelization using 50 parallel threads, it only takes 10 minutes to get all of them. Now I have two questions:What is the best configuration for parallelization in this context?And is it possible to reduce the data volume by only getting the needed fields (I tested the ?fields parameter, but it doesn’t work)?Many thanksAndiW
Hi all,Is it possible to pass nested objects as contact’s custom fields to Freshdesk API?An example object would look as follows:(simplified POST request to /api/v2/contacts){ “body”: { “name”: “test name”, “unique_external_id”: “test_uuid”, “custom_fields”: { “objects”: [ “object_1_id”: { “id”: “object_1_id”, “name”: “test name 1” }, “object_2_id”: { “id”: “object_2_id”, “name”: “test name 2” }, ] } }} Or is it only possible to pass simple JSON that would contain simple key: value pairs like object_1_id: id, object_1_name: name etc.?
Getting an access denied for rest api. Anyone have any idea? I have admin access.
WHy is it that when my support team replies to one of my tickets the tickets dont group by conversation. If I get 10 replies from my support team I get 10 email threads.This is not an issue for other people at my company only me. I have reset my outlook settings, gone to the new version and even back to the old version of outlook. please provide assistance.
I want to use Freshdesk APIs in my website.For that when i create a Note/Reply using API it shows as it is created by the support email. Is there any way or any api with which user can contribute to the conversation and it will appear that user only has replied to the conversation.
Hi All,I have a situation where we have a 3rd party provider that also utilises FreshDesk, I have it so that my FreshDesk as part of automation sends an email to the 3rd party FreshDesk and creates at ticket their end but any response from the 3rd party via their FreshDesk reported ticket creates a new ticket in my FreshDesk rather than appending to the original ticket in my FreshDesk.Is there a way to resolve this, any help appreciated. Thanks
The default Priority and Status fields are “Required when submitting the form” by agents. If I go into the Service Portal to create a ticket, it does not ask me for the Priority or Status fields. However, when I go to create a ticket through the API, I cannot create it without the Priority or Status fields, even if, I am submitting it as a requester, who would otherwise not see the field in the Service Portal.Am I using the wrong endpoint? I am using making a POST to /api/v2/tickets. Of course, if I pass in the Priority/Status field, it works, but I am trying to understand why it is required for a non-agent requester through the API, but not the Service Portal.Any help is appreciated, thanks!
There can only be one creator of the ticket, either bythe system (email, portal etc) or an Agent (eg. Phone).Why when reports are run the the ‘manually created’ tickets (eg. phone) are not credited to the agent actually creating the ticket (there can only be one creator).The ‘Assigned Agent’ at the time is the one credited with the creation.We are running analytics to assist in KPI’s / commissions for Agents.It is proven in ticket activities when an Agent creates a ticket manually (phone) it shows it shows them as ‘Ticket creator’.BUTWhen the report is run, the ‘Agent Created’ is the ‘Assigned Agent’ at the time of the report.Can anyone assist as this is a MAJOR BUG, and makes so much manual work manipulating automatic reports which should be TRUE and ACCURATE.
Hello, I am trying to use Google Drive orch, but when testing, for example, to see the permissions of a file, the response is always "Illegal base64 character 5c" Does it work well for anyone?

We've been relying on the Freshdesk integration with Salesforce to streamline our workflow, but it's suddenly stopped working. Ticket updates are not syncing, and we're unable to access Salesforce data within Freshdesk. This is causing major disruptions to our support operations. Has anyone else encountered this issue recently? Are there any known fixes or workarounds? We urgently need to resolve this to avoid further impact on our customer service.
