Getting Started

Hi everyone 👋I’ve been exploring ways to improve customer engagement and support using Freshdesk tools for small businesses and restaurants.On my blog, I’ve shared some examples and strategies that work well for local food brands — you can check them out here:👉 Chicken Salad Chick MenuI’d love to know how others here structure their customer FAQs or use Freshdesk automations to improve response times.— Emma (Foodblogger)

HiI’m a Freshdesk ‘newbie’. We are using the platform as a helpdesk to manage some contract creation with our various clients. It’s useful to keep the audit trail of all the dialogue, search for past work etc. My question is actually simple. I have set up freshdesk to send notification emails to my preferred email address. I would prefer to manage the ticket dialogue with the customer via email, rather than login to the web URL.Is there a way that I can have a two-way dialogue via email (outlook) and the emails all drop into the ticket audit trail?If not, does Freshdesk have a desktop app that I can use to manage the tickets, rather than login to the web url?ThanksMark

Hi Everyone,Just wanted to ask if anyone else is having bad customer support, I've been waiting 11 days for a response from the billing department, I've chased multiple times and no response.

Hi,I cannot setup Freshdesk app.It does not recognise the url (copied and pasted from working desktop). It will not send a reminder. “unable to send a reminder at this time”. It has been saying that for 12 hours.Brand new Lenovo tab M8.  Android 13.Any ideas please? 

I’m new to Freshdesk and have been attempting to import our assets from a csv file.The importer seems to run just fine, but always fails on the date formats.I have set the date format to the default YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm, which is also the exact format used in the csv file.Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong?

Hey there, I’ve been experiencing problems while logging in to FreshDesk via Firefox ( 99.0.1 ). When my agent tries to login it just reloads the login page. No problems occur when logging in with Edge. Here’s what I tried to solve the problem:Deleting Cookies and History (did not help)complete new installation of Firefox (worked for 24 h)Changing the role of the agent (worked for 24 h) Here’s the real mystery: We have a Log-in-again-after-24-hours-policy in FreshDesk. 24 hours after Using the “Change role” way we experienced the same problems again.But changing the role did not help us this time.Resetting the password did not help, either.Of course deleting cookies and history neither.But this time it was not just a reload of the login page but we got this: First this screenAnd when we tried to login with the correct password Is there anyone out there experiencing the same problems or can give me any idea what to try next? Thank you in advance! Ulf

Is anyone else able to shed light on the non profit pricing options with Freshdesk?They have a whole web page Helpdesk Software for Non-Profit Organizations - Freshdesk | Freshworks about how they help NPO’s and offer discounts yet I get when it tells you to complete the form you end up with someone from sales calling you.Initially they seemed shocked I was even asking for discount, then came back with a fairly minimal discount for a high subscription compared to many other offerings. We want to use Freshdesk as we have some experience of it but not so sure on the non profit support?

I want to remove the portal name from the client home but keep it on the browser title, is this possible?I searched the held section but couldn’t find any info on these questions.Any help would be much appreciated.Thank you.

I registered for the webinar for today over two weeks ago and I did not receive a follow up email or link to the event.  Did I do something wrong?  

To remove a grid gap from HTML/CSS code, you can use the “grid-gap” property and set it to 0. This will remove any spacing between grid items. Alternatively, you can use the “gap” property, which is a shorthand for both “grid-row-gap” and “grid-column-gap” and set it to 0.FontXS

When a user (not admin) views their ticket tab and tries to export tickets, the set date option no longer displays the fields to specify the date range. 

I'm trying to set up an automation in Freshdesk that sends follow-up emails to customers based on the ticket status (e.g., when it's in "Pending" or "Waiting on Customer").Has anyone successfully implemented this? I’d love to see your automation rule examples or best practices for managing this kind of workflow efficiently.Also, any tips on avoiding duplicate follow-ups would be great!Thanks in advance

Since around 06:45am GTM I have been unable to access tickets or https://support.freshdesk.com/. On the (very rare) occasion that it opens and populates, I can’t open or change the status of any tickets. I have tried multiple DNS servers, including 8.8.8.84.4.4.41.1.1.1208.67.222.222Automatic from ISP I’ve flushed DNS and done a full system restart after each change, but to no avail. A tracert to https://support.freshdesk.com/ results in the following: Tracing route to cf-routing.freshdesk.com [162.159.140.147]over a maximum of 30 hops:  1    <1 ms    <1 ms    <1 ms  [removed]  2     *        *        *     Request timed out.  3    12 ms    38 ms     3 ms  uo5-cust.coolideas.co.za [removed]  4    <1 ms    <1 ms    <1 ms  u30p-cust.coolideas.co.za [154.0.15.73]  5     1 ms    <1 ms    <1 ms  u23-cust.coolideas.co.za [154.0.0.75]  6     1 ms    <1 ms    <1 ms  ux-cust.coolideas.co.za [154.0.0.33]  7     6 ms     6 ms     6 ms  cloudflare.ixp.joburg [196.60.8

Hello everyone.I need help solving a problem we are having in Brazil.We currently have several support emails within Freshdesk and when a client of mine sends us an email and puts more than one TO: in the response within Freshdesk, it deletes the other TO and only considers the first one.Has anyone had this problem and managed to find a solution?

This is going to be a little bit rant-y, but I’m very frustrated with Freshdesk Support. I have submitted 2 different support tickets to Freshdesk support requesting help with a variety of issues over the last 7 days and have currently heard nothing on either one. This is particularly frustrating because on day 5 I resubmitted the first ticket to freshsales support instead and received multiple responses plus a resolution within 24 hours. Presumably these are two different team of people who are likely working completely remote from each other but the Freshdesk support is frankly bordering on embarrassing at this point. Not to mention I now have a third open ticket that appears to be intended for an internal sales agent to reach out to us and try to up-sell or otherwise “close the upgrade” in our plan. I can’t tell if whoever is running that support is clueless or what is going on but if our company wasn’t so set on using Freshdesk this would definitely be enough to get us to consider

Good morning,I’m curious if anyone has any insight...  I work for a small school district and about 11 years ago I signed up to Freshdesk’s Sprout plan.  It was, at the time, 3 agents free “for life.”  Which, thanks to the Wayback machine…Source: https://web.archive.org/web/20130811230239/http://freshdesk.com/pricing/free-support-software Turns out, that fit the bill for me and my two colleagues and, 11 years later, we remain three and continue to use and love Freshdesk to support our teachers. I received an email yesterday stating that “Effective November 15, 2024, we will reduce the number of agent licenses included in the Freshdesk Free Plan from ten to two.”  I’m assuming I’m getting this email because I’m technically on the free plan, but when I check my dashboard, it still shows that I’m on a “classic” plan with only three seats available to me, not ten. My question is, does this apply to us?    We never had 10 available agents, it’s always been three “forever.”  I know companies

Hi,  Can some share a design for support ticketing system he created ? We have 4 different saleforce team I need a design how to handle workflow for the different teams Thanks
