Freshdesk

When I am adding an article and trying to lay it out/edit, I can only see about 70% of my page horizontally. About 30% of the right side is hidden. This makes editing EXTREMELY difficult! To see what’s off the page, I have to scroll to the page bottom, then use the horizontal scroller to move over to that side, then scroll back up and search for the text I was editing. And then, the left side of the page is hidden. It’s madness! I’m told by customer service that there is no existing workaround, and they recommended that I add a topic here to try to gain traction, then they will consider fixing it. This is not an issue in the build to create a canned response...so I am mystified as to why the article add / build can’t also show the full page you are working on. Help!!! 

Hi AllIs it possible to create a custom report or view that will show all tickets that have been assigned to an agent but also who has closed\resolved them even though the ticket remains assigned to the original agent.Thanks 

I want all users to access a very basic report with summary numbers (overall ticket volumes). I do not want to give them access to all the curated reports--they include a lot more data that isn’t always appropriate for every person.How do I give users access to one, and only one, report in Analytics? They don’t need all the other curated reports.Thanks!

Hi allWe are running Fresh Service in MSP mode but would like to stick to just one portal URL for agents and customers.  We want to change to a vanity or custom URL to become support.companyname.com rather than companyname.freshservice.comThis article seems to indicate a different method for MSP mode Setting up a custom domain for your service desk | Freshservice Rebranding : Freshservicebut I also came across this articleUsing a custom support URL and pointing the CNAME : Freshdesk Has anyone done this and can point me to the right method.  We just want every URL our agents or our customers see to be support.companyname.com.  I know I’ll need some kind of cname and possibly a certificate?  thanksAndy

Hi, I’m sure I’m missing something obvious here but the reopen tickets when requester responds workflow isn’t working for.  When I email in from my test account against a closed ticket the agent gets an email but the ticket doesn’t reopen. Can someone tell me what I’m missing :-) ?  

Hi,We have several email addresses in our Freshdesk instance, each email lands in different group and not all agents have permissions to access al groups.The issue is that all agents can create new email and send it as any of the emails registered in FD.Is there any way to block the users from using all addresses?

Hi, My agents key time to each ticket during the day.  They need to review this data at the end of the day. However, there’s a 45 minute delay between time being keyed and the new Analytics being populated by which time they have left for the day. The legacy reports didn’t have this issue. Does anyone have a solution to my issue?  Any integrations?  or ways around this?

Every 3 to 4 months, my customers are blocked from creating support tickets. They see this message "sorry, you are restricted from accessing this helpdesk page."Your company reports to me some nonsense about spamming.That is your problem, not my problem. Why do you inconvenience my customers over and over with a repeat of this again and again? I want no more for my customers to see "Sorry, you are restricted from accessing this helpdesk page.' If you had any customer sense, the message would say “We have a temporary issue that we are fixing.  This is not the fault of Seniorleads.  This is our fault at Freshdesk.”This current message makes MY company look bad. My customer does not understand this is a failure at FRESHDESK -- they think it is my incompetent software people as the cause of this message.There are many ways to solve this (all are common sense):remove your spam detection and do not display this message -- I suspect this “spam blocking” is totally unnecessary and is an idea b

I randomly get a 401 error when calling ‘Statuses’, ‘Priorities’, and ‘Types’.This happens in Postman and via my powershell script (v5.1).  The pm API does not work with PSv7.The odd thing is, the 401 failure does not happen every time,  It does not happen on the same project every time. If it fails, I can call it again and it will work.I’ve tried inserting a wait timer of 15 second between api calls - that does not solve it.I never had a problem before 3/20/2024.  The issue started on 3/28/2024.  I made no attempts between 3/21 and 3/27.

Hi, Why is it that our agents will only show available for tickets or chats? The phone system does not seem to sync with the Dashboard on Freshdesk. Is there a setting I am missing? Or is this a known issue? Best Regards,Alex

Does anyone have any clean ways to get the below functionaility working? I want tickets who have not had an updated in 2 days to get a reminder that the ticket is pending a response and then 2 days after that if it still has not had a response close the ticket. What I have done so far is have a supervisor rule to send the reminder and then add a tag to the ticket.Then have a scheduled event workflow to check for the tag and if the tag exists on a ticket then close it. I cannot figure out how to have this second part check if its been 2 days since the tag was added. I also have created a 3rd automation that if a requester responds to a ticket and it has the tag I added on ti then it removes the tag so it doesn’t get caught in the 2nd workflow I mentioned. This feels messy and like it might backfire. Any ideas to do this better? Thanks,Windows13

Hi there, I really like the option to create a Post Incident Report which is saved with easy access inside the Major Incident ticket. My issue is the PIR fields aren't 100% relevant and I'm manually changing them. I would like to tailor the fields relevant to my organization for each report generated. I’ve searched high and low in the admin center and I'm still at a loss. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks,Alex

Hi, I would like the name of the agent answering the ticket to not be shown in the customer portal. it's possible? Thank you

 I found the above thread that shows as “solved” but it does not appear to be the case. Zapier still does not seem to be receiving several key values from Freshdesk, making the integration basically pointless.I created a new integration and a new Zap, and as you can see several key values like URL, Requester, Requester Company Name, Description, etc. are NULL.

Hello Everyone, are there any organisations that have built a complaint handling workflow in Freshdesk that can offer any tips or insights?

I want to create a widget that shows a bar chart breakdown of assets by manufacturer. The only option I see is Vendor, which is different. Any ideas?

I have a React App where I have made a React Component to call the FreshworksWidget.This works great for sending props for API commands like:`FreshworksWidget('close')``FreshworksWidget('open','ticketForm')``FreshworksWidget('open','article', { id: ${article} })` But when I try to call:`FreshworksWidget('prefill','ticketForm', { type: ${request} })` I am receiving the error `VM4910:1 Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier 'XXX'`where ‘XXX’ is the string from ${request} Is there something different in how ‘prefill’ works? All attributes of ‘prefill’ generate this error. e.g. subject, derscription, etc.

Hello, I have “maybe” a problem with this request to configure DKIM.In my account shows that i have 2 domain names to configure:gmail.commycompany.comFor dns records I’m using cloudflare. so it was easy to verify “mycompany.com” - tooks seconds Now, what about google.com (gmail.com)Why should I update on gmail? Our suport helpdesk receives emails to one address only: helpdesk@mycompany.com. this is managed (like all our emails) indeed,  on google workspace, but, the dns records are all managed on cloudflare -  it doesn’t matter who is the registrant of this domain name.  and now, let’s asume that… I HAVE TO CONFIGURE on gmail as well - where I can find this , where should be configured? Thank you,Laurentiu 

I was able to hide the agent name from the ticket details with;jQuery('#ticket-field-agent').hide();And some other fields like this; var SupportForm = ['helpdesk_ticket_priority'] SupportForm.map(function(field_id){ jQuery('#'+field_id).parents('.controls ').remove(); })However the agent name is still showing to our customers in the ticket list view on the portal.{% snippet ticket_list %} The agent name doesn’t have a field id or it’s own div here, I could hide the whole help-text line but that would also remove the created by and created date information from the list view.I need to only hide the agent nameHow can I achieve this?

Not sure what we are missing in our tenant but we don’t seem to have the Tag feature in global admin or any of the workspaces that is referenced here: https://support.freshdesk.com/en/support/solutions/articles/196897-what-are-tags-how-can-i-add-merge-tags-I wanted to see if it was perhaps possible to ‘protect’ tags; disallowing requesters/agents to remove specific tags from tickets.

Hello, I want to edit snippet values , but I think it’s not possible? Confirm ?Is there any development planned to do this ?  REASONS => I have several forms and I would like to choose which form to display.  Ideally, I would like to display the correct form based on questions asked before but I didn’t find placeholders to identify each form ..  The objective is to ask the customer questions before offering them the appropriate form.Possible ?  Thx in advance, I hope it was clear 

Hi There Freshdesk is missing a very basic feature. You are not able to schedule a recurring ticket, for example weekly/monthly/annualy.  In most industries today there are requirments to perform certain repetative actions such as maintenance and preventative maintenance. These are critical tasks and if you forget, it could have serious consequences. We must be able to create a recurring ticket in Freshdesk that will automatically create these task as per the planned schedule.Please Freshdesk I notice this has been requested before and we really require this functionality to be added.

when my custom application runs locally but after deployment it doesn’t work so it shows an error.
