Hello guys, hope you are doing fine (: I’d like to know if there a way to hide or disable the “Priority” default field? I already tried a custom role, also 3 differents apps from Marketplace:Hide fields app 9822 Disable fields app 25380 Hide/Disable Ticket Fields app 5416 (suggested by this article)But in none of them is it possible to block or hide this field. I believe the ability to have this set up is vastly needed… And of course, we have some reasons for this particular use, such as:Block the change of priority in a certain phase of the ticket. Block the field based on some function condition. Block changing the field based on some specific condition of the ticket (such as Type, or dependent fields, etc.)Among other examples, which are even met by the apps I mentioned above in matters of conditions, but it is not possible to perform the "blocking" action. Thanks for now

Hi,We have a lot of customers send through PII data in emails which ends up in our Freshdesk tickets. I understand the level of security freshdesk provides, but I'm looking for suggestions on how to to note its collection and restrict its distribution.Has anyone dealt with this before?Should I use tags to mark it as sensitive info and have the email redacted so that when the customer is replied to the PII info is not going back an forth etc.Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi all- does anyone know how to modify the CC field on the submit a ticket view? We want to make it more obvious what it is because we have a custom business field that is also often referred to as CC (unrelated). We’d like to change it from CC to something like “Add CC to copy someone on your request”. Thanks in advance!Anna
Is it possible to select all tickets from a particular contact or email address rather than selecting 30 tickets at a time. I have more than 40K pending tickets and most of them are system generated ones. I would love to close all of these system generated ones with a few clicks rather than going 30 tickets at a time.

Hello,How can I collect recurring emails under a single request?Thanks.
Hi,If there is a common word in two different mails, is there an automation for combining two or more mails?Best regards.
Whenever the Agent or Admin opened the particular ticket the following error is popping up “You are not authorized to perform this action”, We are using full admin access API Key for Integration. We changed the roles and checked it but same issue occurs. It is more priority for us, so please give us the solution as soon as possible.
Hi - I’ve amended the list of options in the Types dropdown - removed Refund for example and added a couple of other options.Problem is, when I open a ticket and drop down the Type field, only the original set of options is there - including the deleted one. None of the new options appear.Any ideas?
On https://developer.freshmarketer.com/api/#intro is a link to:Learn more about finding your API key. But that link is broken...
We have had this message on our Freshdesk for the last 48hrs: Scheduled maintenance is under progressWe will be up and running soon, Please check again later.Click here to go back to home Our domain is: https://sangix.freshdesk.com/ Since we are on a free account, there does not seem to be any support we can contact.Should we just switch to another provider or does anyone have an idea of what we can do? Many thanks :)
Hi all,I saw that you can bulk update certain fields for linked tickets. We would like to bulk update a custom single-line field so that when the tracker ticket field is filled, it fills that same text in the field for all linked tickets. Does anyone have a solution or ideas?
Has anyone ran into the issue where, when you respond to a ticket and the customer is OOO - you get the notification which in turn creates a new ticket.If so, how did you solve the issue by automation to remove the “false” new ticket created?
Hello community,the "agent collision detection" does not work reliably for us. Rarely it works that the eye is displayed, but this is rather random. Or another example, if 3 agents from the same group with the same permissions view a ticket, the eye only appears for two agents and the third is ignored.What additional settings can be made? What does the function depend on other than the plan? (we have estate plan.) … Group membership, permissions, browser settings (Java Script be enabled?)?We need support here please, because we need to rely on this to work, as we have already processed many tickets twice as a result of this “misfunction”.Thank you very much.
Hi, all…. I’ve had a request from my agents to be notified via email when*any* agent has been assigned a ticket, or an agent picks up an open ticket. Looking in the admin section for email notifications, I don’t see this as an option...is this something that we can facilitate? Having this capability would be especially helpful in off-hours, so that our on-call person would get a notification if a ticket has been picked up by another on-call person. Logic would be: If (ticket assigned to an agent) {Send email to all agents with subject: “Ticket <ticketnumber> has been assigned to <agentName>}
When one of our agents creates an internal ticket (so his own name as requester) our internal customers cannot see these tickets.Our company name is CONTOSO.Internal customers (so not agents) cannot see these tickets like our customers can for their own company. (Collaborator is not a solution)We can assign the ticket to a dummy internal email so that it gets assigned to our internal company name (best work-a-round so far) however the requesting agent doesn’t receives replies anymore when another agents replies to the issue. There are workaround for this also, but what would make more sense is, that if some from @contoso.com creates a ticket, agent or internal customer alike, the ticket gets assigned to the corresponding company CONTOSO. This would also fix issues in empty company names in analytic reports.How is this supposed to work/e.g. how can I get the agent created tickets (where an agent asks support) assigned to a company
In testing this new feature (which I am very excited about) I noticed that the emails do not show directly in the customers inbox, rather they get filled away and filtered out. Any ideas on how to fix? I’ve had to resort to mail merge to ensure our customers see emails and would love to take advantage of this feature - but it’s a low hit rate for me.
There are people in my organization that are agents but that can also send tickets in. If I have them specified as an agent, and then also try to give them a contact record, I receive: When I click on “View contact” it takes me to their agent record. It looks like in the past that my organization gave them other email addresses (either aliases or dummies that didn’t actually exist) but what is actually the best practice for doing this? Thanks!
