Hi there,The Dutch login and registration button labels are both translated as ‘aanmelden' which is confusing. Please translate the label of the login button to Login or ‘Inloggen”. Or could I do that myself? https://unifitbv.freshdesk.com/support/homekind regardsChristien
Is it possible to have a view with IF conditions likeShow all unprocessed tickets assigned to me Except IF (Type is Warranty AND Status is Pending) OR (Type is Returns AND Status is Pending) ?I then have 2 other views called Warranty and Returns with Type is Warranty AND Status is Pending condition so these tickets are being shown there instead for my pending view. What I am trying to do is filter out tickets in my view that has been processed or replied to so they don’t show in my view again. But if customer responds back to ticket, since it will then change status to Open it will re-appear in my view again. I could then decide to reply to it or just select Pending status again and it will not be shown in my view.
Something that really surprised me is Freshdesks inherent lack of time tracking functionality. All of it seems to be baked into Time Sheets which appears to be quite out-dated and even broken. The Time Sheets, for example, only export partial data. The widgets in the Analytics tool are curated-only, and although you can customize them, you can’t save your customized widgets inside of that curated report. I am curious if anyone has come up with any creative solutions to help them understand how much total time, and average time their Agents spend inside of tickets based on the Time Logs data. This one is really holding us back right now reporting-wise, and I just don’t see why Freshdesk has limited the functionality that appears to already exist. For example - I can go into the curated report and manually edit the widget to provide me average time tracked data, but I cannot save this widget. My changes are lost as soon as I leave the widget. This is so bizarre.

We’re still having the same problem as before which is, in brief, that freshdesk is not very well set up for small companies with limited support staff who want users to THOROUGHLY search the solutions / knowledge base FIRST before they raise a support ticket.We want to create a sequence of landing pages that the user is forced to click through BEFORE raising a support ticket.As follows:user lands on solutions home/ knowledge base clicks log in / raise a support ticket is taken to a page strongly encouraging them to search the knowledge base this page forces them to search for something, they can’t search for nothing it then gives them an option to raise a support ticketWe are just answering the same queries over and over and over again and it is wasting critical manpower as users simply ignore the hundreds of solutions we’ve created and head straight for the support ticket option.Like many small businesses, this isn’t sustainable for us.What solutions are there within Freshdesk to thi
The close button of the widget is colliding with the close button. Check this screenshot from my product: The Windows users are the most affected ones (considering that macOS scrollbars are less intrusive) and they see this layout abnormality. Since it looks like the component uses random CSS classes I didn't consider creating my own CSS rules to fix this, I think this could be ideally fixed by Freshdesk development team.

Hi Guys,I hard deleted a contact on Friday to be able to create a Agent account for the user. But the contact is still deleting , is there any way to sped up the process? Thanks
I have this problem : we get some automatic emails from « discussions » outside Freshdesk and I would like the emails linked to the same topic to be grouped in the same ticket.All the emails of a topic have the same subject and all the emails for those discussions come from the same contact.In gmail, these are grouped.In Freshdesk, I get a new ticket for each new message, forcing me to spend some time every week to merge them. Is there something we can do to make sure these messages don’t create new tickets all the time ? Either in Freshdesk or in our automatic emails settings ?

Hi! I was trying to set the time trigger to send a reminder message to the officer (action: send email to agent).However, when using time trigger, the email is sent not just one time but it repeats every 1 hour time.The effect is kind of spamming to the colleagues. Is there any option to select if the repetition is needed or can you suggest a better way to address the opportunity? Thanks for the feedback!
Hi,When I install Slack app, an error occurs. The error message is “Error while installing the app”.It only happens with my specific Slack workspace, which I want to integrate with. I successfully installed the app to the another Slack workspace. Of course, the user of the Slack is an admin account.To be precise, Freshdesk app (Legacy) was installed to my Slack workspace, but the Slack app was not installed to my Freshdesk account with the error message.Where do you think is the problem?

Hi, I am trying to integrate Freshdesk with our existing tools and I have a dilemma.Today, I use 3CX for our telephony and it is already plugged to our custom CRM (to get the contact information and track the calljournaling).Now, I would like to also plug Freshdesk to :create a trace in Freshdesk for every call (in or out) using 3CX create a link between Freshdesk and our custom CRM to share the contact information and several data related to their companyI found I could easily plug 3CX to Freshdesk to create new tickets / create new contacts but then I don’t get this information into my CRM and I need to create a link so that the CRM can get the data from Freshdesk.Or I can keep my link 3CX/CRM but then I need to be able to create automatically tickets and update my contacts from this CRM.In both cases, I have no idea how to plug the CRM to Freshdesk. I may add that I am using Blossom.
Hello everyone, I want to know how to integrate Freshchat with document 360 (https://document360.com/).Doc360 is our external knowledge, we want to integrate it with the SOLUTION of freshdesk, then we our customers create a new ticket, they can see the related articles automatically, not need to switch to another system. Thanks,
I have a user that used to have an account with his email, but things got moved around, and I want him to take over an existing account. I tried to rename the user, was told he has an account and I have to remove it.So I deleted that account. Now I tried to change the email to that and receive the following “Please retry in a while, the permanent deletion of this contact is still being processed.”That has been more than 24 hours, how long does it take, that user had no tickets, no work, was more of a placeholder!Thanks.
Hello, When on the main level of the knowledge base, I would like to display less articles under each folder. Right now it will show a pre-view of 5 articles, but I would like to adjust it down to 3 articles showing. Is there a way to do this? ...so ideally I would just the articles test 1, 2 and 3 showing here.
