How Do You Handle Product-Specific Support in Freshdesk for an Automotive Parts Store?

Hi everyone,

I run customer support for MountainOffroad.com, where we sell Jeep and off-road vehicle parts. Many of our tickets are product-specific, like compatibility questions (e.g., “Will this skid plate fit a 2020 Toyota Tacoma?”) or order-related issues.

I’d love to hear how other eCommerce or parts-based businesses are using Freshdesk to:

  • Tag or categorize tickets by product

  • Use canned responses or dynamic content

  • Route tickets based on product type or department

  • Link tickets with product listings or inventory

We’re aiming to speed up our response time and reduce back-and-forth for our technical team. If you’ve handled something similar — whether for auto parts or another niche eCommerce setup — please share your workflow or automation tricks!

Thanks a lot — looking forward to learning from your experience.

    Great question, Robert — we deal with something similar in eCommerce support. A few things that worked well for us:

    • Product-based ticket fields: We added a dropdown for product type/sku so tickets can be auto-tagged at creation.

    • Canned responses with dynamic placeholders: Helps when answering compatibility questions by pulling in product names automatically.

    • Assignment rules: Tickets tagged “Jeep” route to one team, while “Toyota” route to another. Keeps the technical folks focused on what they know best.

    • Linking tickets with product pages: Freshdesk allows custom apps — we linked ticket view to our product catalog so agents can instantly verify fitment or stock status.

    Para manejar soporte específico por producto en Freshdesk, una estrategia efectiva es etiquetar los tickets por tipo de producto, usar respuestas predefinidas con contenido dinámico y redirigir automáticamente los tickets a departamentos especializados según la categoría. Esto ayuda a acelerar los tiempos de respuesta y reduce consultas repetidas.
