Yes we need this one too. Currently it’s only possible in workflow automator, but not via Freshservice HTTP API.

The way they do it in the actual system is just a POST internal api call, seems like they could perhaps expose that to the external API

Example PowerShell

$watchJson = @{
"user_id" = 12345678910
} | ConvertTo-Json -Depth 5

Invoke-RestMethod -uri "https://company.co.uk/api/_/tickets/201021/watch" -Method Post -ContentType "application/json" -Headers $header -Body $watchJson
