Can anyone help me with some CSS or HTML that will change the “Login to submit a new ticket” text to read (and which portal customization box to drop it in):“Subscribe for full access”?
Hi,we recently set up the company support portal but we are facing an issue: emails sent to the support email address, as well as replies to existing tickets via email, get lost somewhere. When a customer sends an email no ticket is created or updated if already existing. Already checked settings and all seems correct. Someone got any idea? Thank you. Mauro
How do I auto reply to the first Twitter DM, but not to mentions?
Possibility to open a ticket seems to be restricted for some reason on https://aysa-support.freshdesk.com/Always displays a message “We are sorry. You have been restricted from accessing this helpdesk page.”help please 🙏🏻
I have captured the custom contact field salutationI would love to addressFemale contacts as: Dear Ms Smith Male contacts as: Dear Mr Jones Companies as: Dear customer Blank records as: Dear customerHow have you solved this? We have already tried:salutation under customer fields plus liquids (two different kinds if and case). The first 2 options always look good (in whatever order I have them), but not all 4. salutation under customer fields plus salutation under ticket fields plus email notification: this doesn’t work as the email notifications will always add the last name which I don’t want in the company and blank case.Running out of ideas…
Hi Team We just started using Fresh service ticketing system and wanted to ask a question. I made a master ticket and added 32 slave tickets to the master. I wanted to know if I enter a note and use resolve status code to close the ticket. Will all 32 users be sent an email notifying them that issue was resolved, and will the note be displayed?
Hello! :) Is there any difference between a ticket created by splitting against a ticket created by a customer by the portal? Our team is divided by skills, sometimes customers ask for help on a different topic, and we use the split ticket functionality to create a new ticket and transfer it to the correct area. We’re facing some conflicts with automations that are triggered on ticket creation because we weren’t able to find a way to prevent them of running on split tickets.
Filters are nice, but AND and OR would be betterWhen will Freshdesk have the Advanced search function?This is good but AND, OR and filters right at the beginning and not only after the search would be even better.https://support.freshdesk.com/en/support/solutions/articles/219702-how-search-in-freshdesk-works
I need to change the Contact on multiple tickets as all tickets are being transferred to another person at my customer.Can I do a bulk update so the Contact changes from ‘Bob’ to ‘Anne’ for all tickets?ThanksPaul
Dear Team, Based on the use cases and specially having Freshdesk tool in the Healthcare or in major business there has to be provision to reduce the SLA according to their process.We have seen all this possibility in every applications like Salesforce, Zoho, Zendesk,Kapture and many other. Its really important for freshdesk team to take this issue on priority otherwise there might be dropping rate of clients like us or more…Hope to see more inputs and some measures to work on this. ThanksNisha
Yesterday I received this error message “Email rejected due to an unexpected error. Please try again after sometime.” I tried again today and received the same error message.At this time, I received this error only for two different email addresses under the .de (Germany) domain. I can send email to theses adresses from a GMail account.Any explanation or solution to this issue. Thanks.

Hello We use Google Login to access freshdesk.I can't find API key in my profile settings.What settings should I turn on to active the API key function?Thanks
We are moving from using the portal to using the API. 1 feature we want to retain is the ‘Related Articles’ block on the article solution detail pages. This doesn’t seem possible ‘out of the box’ after a brief perusal of the API documentation here:https://developer.freshdesk.com/api/#solution_article_attributes How can I achieve my objective of pulling in ‘Related Articles” using the API?
Apologies if this has already been answered, I searched the forum and was not able to find this scenario. We have setup automated Requester Email notifications for new tickets, and the notifications work perfectly if a new email is sent directly to our Freshdesk email (e.g. support@acme.freshdesk.com), but we do not receive the Requester email notifications if our email (support@acme.freshdesk.com) is a member of an email group. We have a group email box (e.g. support@acme.com) that includes multiple people, including support@acme.freshdesk.com, and we are not receiving automated Requester notifications when our Freshdesk email is a member of the group. Any ideas? Thank you!Steve
For each time change (summer and winter time), certain workflows must be adjusted manually, since the time zones are hard-coded.Daylight saving time adjustment: +1 → +2Winter time adjustment: +2 → +1This creates quite some overhead, a risk of forgetting something and workflows that then no longer function correctly.
Hello, Any advice on how to prevent first line agents assigning to a specific internal group(s)?I have a customer that want to use shared ownership to escalate tickets. Have set it up like this: Team 1 Firstline → Global support (internal group) → dev team (internal group) Firstline should only be able to assign to Global support and not the Dev team. TIA Daniel
We’re a special needs school evaluating Freshdesk for use as an internal corporate help desk system. We’d like to apply SLAs based on the category->subcategory and priority of the submitted ticket.For example: assume we have a ticket category and subcategory such as: “Facilities->Building Security” and a staff member submits a ticket for this category with an Urgent priority. We need to be able to assign an SLA for this specific ticket type which likely has a very different response and resolution times than say, an “Urgent” priority ticket submitted with the category and subcategory “IT->Internet Access Down”.Unfortunately, the SLA “Conditions” are very broad (Company, Group, Product, Source, Type, Contact Segment, Company Segment) and don’t allow creating an SLA based on ticket criteria.I’ve also looked creating a new “Ticket Creation” automation hoping I might be able to handle setting the SLA. But while I can select the desired ticket Category, Subcategory, and Priorit

How can I add dropdown choices to Freshdesk ticketing dropdown fields using APIs?
Hi there,we use Freshdesk in German and can see the messages in the window “What’s new in Freshdesk” in the upper right corner in German as well. But it seems that there was no update on the latest release notes since August 2021. When I switch the agent’s language to English I can see much more news, the latest one is of Oct. 18, 2022). Could you please update the German translations for such release messages as well or, if not possible, disable German release notes in the German language setup and show the English news instead? Thanks.
Hello, I noticed today that all of a sudden my analytics reports are missing the metric names in the widgets. I have some widgets that compare a metric over this week/previous week, or this month/previous month. Now those names are missing from the widget so other users can’t tell which is which! They’re missing in the Freshdesk portal, as well as the daily PDF export. Did this feature get removed or am I missing something?
I’m sure nearly everyone using Next Response SLAs is dealing with Next Response being calculated and measured with it isn’t needed. Examples:Customer is just replying, “Thank you.” A customer cc:’s their IT ticket system, and agent replies trigger an automatic reply from that system to the ticket. The customer is having an internal conversation with their own staff by using the ticket thread. There’s nothing for an agent to do or reply to.We haven’t figured out what to do with these other than make sure the agent objectives don’t require a 100% SLA adherence. The problem with that is agents and managers still have to look at those ticket even if just to say, “Oh, no reply needed.”How do you all handle this?
Is it possible to add a screenshot in a Freshdesk ticket created in the Slack integration.
One of my customers wants to be included in any replies from Support if the ticket is logged by a different person in their organisation.Can their email address be automatically added to the Cc field?Another thread on this forum says it can be done with Dispatch’r but it seems this functionality is no longer available.Thanks for your help on this.
