I am looking into using FreshDesk as a company wide Task Management solution (as well as our support solution). 


Working with our first department I am trying to automate a scenario like this:


- Ticket comes into <AGENT GROUP>

- <AGENT> determines if the ticket is "Valid" 

  (This is where I am stuck, either by adding a Tag, or something to the ticket to mark it as "Valid")

- IF ticket = Valid THEN > Create <ChildTicket1> & <ChildTicket2>

- Assign Child tickets to <AGENT>

Hello Damian,


Apologies for the late response.


Your scenario may be executed by triggering a webhook using ticket updates automation. An update made to the ticket, eg: selecting a drop down value to indicate that a child ticket has to be created can trigger this webhook that would create a child ticket using API. You can mention the parameters to be assigned in the body of the webhook.


Please refer to this article to understand webhooks --> https://support.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/132589-using-webhooks-in-automation-rules-that-run-on-ticket-updates


And here's our API documentation : https://developers.freshdesk.com/api/#create_ticket


Please drop an email to support@freshdesk.com for assistance in setting up the rule.


Cheers!
