We have no way to change a stage on a service request via a workflow. We should be able to fulfil, partially fulfill and close a stage via automation.

I’ve got a feature request for this kind of thing (or at least through the API) open - 8 months and counting!

We definitely need to be able to access all fields/States/Actions of tickets via workflow. Foundational to ITIL Incident Management is the ability to automate as much of the process as possible. Glad to see some movement on this!!! :)

We too have hit the stage missing in the automations problem.

Has there been as a solution to this or at least a work around?

 

Would be great if we could see and set the stage in the automations.

C’mon Freshservice team!
I’m just trying to do a simple feature like: Dont close ticket unless the SR Item has been marked as fulfilled. But I cant becuase the whole item stage is hidden from everywhere except the UI!!

Same for us, we are currently automating the delivery of requested items, but unlike via GUI there is no possibility to change the stage of a requested item directly using the workflow. Instead we have to implement unnecessarily complicated workarounds using the API. Please add this feature to the roadmap.

This is a significant gap in the application that requires immediate attention. With many businesses operating under tighter constraints and smaller teams, it's critical that we prioritize solutions that enhance efficiency. Automation should be a central focus, empowering teams to achieve more with fewer resources and ensuring sustainable performance under pressure.

This idea has been in the works for 4 years. It seems like the poor idea management to keep something this big from moving faster through the idea development cycle. Being able to trigger work based on request fulfillment status is very important in ITSM. 

There is no work around for this.

It can be done using API but a action node would be great
