Hi
We have an existing IT Support wiki resource in SharePoint online. In an ideal world, I would like to create a “Solution” article in Freshservice with a title of “365 MFA” for example, but in the content of the Solution have it redirect to the corresponding SharePoint URL. Is this possible at all?
Users experience would be click on the Solution and be redirected to SharePoint page.

I have however found this that states:
Note: The external articles added will take upto 24 hours to be indexed in Freshservice’s search.
I am now waiting 24 hours to test but can you confirm your experiences on this?

In terms of your setup and why its working for you, are you using Freshservice or another Fresh product?

That's so strange. I have copied your external url and keywords in my Freshservice and it still doesn't work.
Before I go back to support, would you mind testing another new external URL Solution please?

I have a customer facing a similar symptom and there is a bug on external links as articles not populating. If you haven’t created a ticket, I would recommend doing so and also inquire about bug ticket FS-74001 to be associated with your ticket if support is unable to resolve it.
I have noticed something interesting. publicly accessible external url solutions do appear and work such as the example powerbi from
Can anyone else confirm that's what they are experiencing?

Ok……. No it hasn't worked for me/nothing has changed. Can you give some more info? When you say internal sites, do you mean sites that Fresh service cant access? What I didn't realise was that Freshserve indexes all the words from public Solutions/External URLs and that's what provides results for the suggested articles - Not the Keywords.
For example, I can write the word “and” in the subject line of a new ticket and it will give a suggestion of the external Microsoft kb article for PowerBI even though i haven't setup “and” as a keyword.
Are you saying your customer has an external solution url that Freshservice can access (like SharePoint online) and they have setup keywords that work in the suggested articles feature?
If anyone is interested, after some major back and forth-ing with Freshservice support, this issue has now been resolved.
