For businesses that have Office 365 plans, it would be nice to use and API to allow users to login to Fresh Desk portals with existing Office 365 accounts.

To go further in the integration with Office 365, it would be great to have a calendar/tasks  view of your tickets: 

  • In your calendar or tasks you get a reminder of tickets with a deadline today or per day
  • Hyperlink to the concerned ticket in the related taks/entry in the calendar.
Cheers, 
Tim

Yes O365 calendar integration would be a great feature and have at a per agent level so each agent can set reminders of items to do on tickets and get alerted in advance via the default calendar event notifications. Google calendar works great but only works on a single calendar/single agent :(

SSO Support for Office 365 would be great for my users, we have it for virtually all other websites we require users to access and it just reduces uptake for Freshdesk having separate login details.

yes, desperately looking for a way to improve overall integration with O365/Outlook. 


It's critical to my operations and hope that plans are in the works to add this feature. 


Exploring Zapier in the interim but wish I didn't have to.

How about Contacts?  It looks there is this type of functionality with Google.

Adding Office 365 Planner integration would kill two birds with one stone.  We could then see our tickets in O365, and it has a Kanban board view - which is another open feature request ticket we've been asking about for years


Office 365 integration into SSO would be a fantastic feature that would cut down on yet another password that I need to maintain for my end users... Has there been any progress on this?

We've been using Office 365 SSO for months.

You have to integrate Freshdesk with your Azure active directory.

Hi,


I work for Microsoft on the Azure Active Directory team, and we're investigating creating an API connector that can automate provisioning and de-provisioning of user accounts from Azure Active Directory (Office 365) to Freshdesk. If this is interesting to anyone, you can get in touch with us by using the app request form here: https://feedback.azure.com/forums/374982-azure-active-directory-application-requests/category/172035-user-provisioning


Thanks!

Aaron

I noticed that the google calendar app is available on both Freshservice and Freshdesk but the Office 365 app isn't.


Any plans to bring this functionality over?

Great integration!


What isn't that "beautiful" is the mail which is send to the requester. It includes just a link and a ICS-attachment.


It would be better if some text could be added like " as bespoken" or "as a suggestion find the following appointment"


You get the point?


Thanks

Udo

Is there any more information on this? Freshdesk does not work with Office 365 as far as I can tell. It would be nice if tasks, tickets, and contacts in Freshdesk could be reflected on the office 365 calendar and task list.


Is this currently possible? Is it in the works?

Hi,


We at SyncPenguin have recently added support of Freshworks. SyncPenguin is a platform for customizable two-way and one-way synchronizations between business tools. We only have Freshsales connectors published at this moment, but Freshdesk ones are under development. Those will include contacts, tasks, meetings, etc. sync all in one place. We plan to finish development in a week or two.


If you are interested please fill out this form: https://dashboard.syncpenguin.com/request-help and specify what type of sync you would like to see. This will encourage us to prioritize Freshdesk sync and help us determine the best possible field mappings.


Hi,  

We are happy to explore the possibilities of the feature (calendar, planner, contacts) being picked up.
Kindly note that new enhancements are taken up based on the feasibility and implemented based on the number of asks.

Cheers!
