It currently pulls the users name and email address but it would be great if it would also pull:


  • Phone Numbers
  • Title
  • Department (add to the Company field)

I'm with David as well. Being able to pull those fields would make life a lot easier for us.

Hi all


I got bored of missing info in Freshdesk (and lack of photos) so I've created a script to do this using the Freshdesk API.

You can find it here: https://github.com/blighter/Freshdesk_AD_Import


Currently it only does a single user per execution but you could create a one column csv of emails and a batch file (not recommended for >100 users) 

for /f "usebackq tokens=1 delims=," %%a in ("csv.csv") do (
      start "" http://webserver/upload.php?email=%%a )

 


Any questions let me know :)


Obviously I'm not affiliated with Freshdesk and can't be liable blah blah


Thanks

Hello,


You can now pass phone number values in the query parameter using the AD integration. You can read more about this here.


Although support for custom attributes isn't available now with AD integration, we've recently added the custom variables support for SAML authentication.


Cheers!
