Portals, Emails & Channels

In testing this new feature (which I am very excited about) I noticed that the emails do not show directly in the customers inbox, rather they get filled away and filtered out. Any ideas on how to fix? I’ve had to resort to mail merge to ensure our customers see emails and would love to take advantage of this feature - but it’s a low hit rate for me. 

There are people in my organization that are agents but that can also send tickets in.  If I have them specified as an agent, and then also try to give them a contact record, I receive: When I click on “View contact” it takes me to their agent record. It looks like in the past that my organization gave them other email addresses (either aliases or dummies that didn’t actually exist) but what is actually the best practice for doing this? Thanks!

So I am relatively new with Freshdesk.  I have found that if my support email is within a distribution group and someone emails that distribution group a ticket will eb created (As I would expect).  The challenge is that when someone else in that distribution group replies, a new ticket is being created each time.  So for my case I have a ALL group that is frequently used to send notifications to all employees.  When employee A sends the first email it works as expected.  A ticket is created in FD, and that employee is set as the client.  The issue comes into play when Employee b responds.  When that occurs, a new ticket is created. So if Employees B,C,D,E,F all reply, is will cause there to be 6 independent tickets created in FD. This also happens with when the ALL group is CC’ed on a reply in a ticket.  Any reply back is creating a new ticket.

How do I remove this unwanted banner notification from the tickets view as there is no close button? 

Is there a way to change the categories' font color so the viewer can see them better? The font color is a very light gray and is not noticeable for viewers. 

I’ve discovered that it is possible for a customer to attach an .exe file to a new ticket, and for that .exe file to be downloaded by a member of staff responding to the ticket.. Due to the possibility of a Zero Day being introduced to our network, we would like to either:Remove the attachment option from the portal Limit the attachment types to a small few (pdf, .doc, .jpg etc)Has anyone got any advice on how to action the above?

I am reviewing Fresh Desk for a college project, and I need to include some User Reviews. Would someone please share their Fresh Desk experience with me? 1. How long have you been using FreshDesk? 2. Do you have any concerns about security when using FreshDesk? Email security, phone security?  3. What do you like the most about using FreshDesk? 4. Do you use the M.S. Teams with Facebook? 5. Have you created a knowledge base for your clients so they can help themselves? 6. Lastly, do you use Canned responses to save your agents the time of replying to common questions?

First post here on Freshworks so a Big “Hi” to All!Also, apologies if this topic already appears elsewhere - have searched!OK - our Sprout account was opened some 4 years ago and is in daily use. The admin that set up our self service portal content has left and we wish to edit this content. Although the Portal is “active” - viewable by users - there doesn’t appear to be a way to edit the content.If there is a mechanism to do this - I may have missed this option - could you please let me know? Thanks. David Williams - Extinction Rebellion UK 

Hi,I enabled the chat on Freshdesk portal but I just want it available for logged in users.Is there any setting or solutions to do it?ThanksTrung.Le

Hi...We have just started experimenting with the knowedebase. I’d like to secure the Freshdesk portal, such that the tickets and knowledgebase portal are visible only to staff with our @companyname.com email address, and so that the pages do not get indexed in any public search engines.  How to do this?    

I’m new to freshdesk, so I don’t really know if this is already implemented. Is there anyway that I can create a ticket (as an agent) from a message?I’ve searced and all I could find is that it might exist for freshservice.

Canned responses don't apply email subject change within its feature which force agents to add more steps to send a proper email, with a correct email subject, to customers.Email subject change should be automatically applied within the canned responses feature. It should help the agents loads of works from manually change it to just apply the canned responses. Please take action on this. Thank you for your kind assistance.

We have been working with the free version of Freshdesk Support desk, and most of our agents prefer to work through email.  We have configured FD so that all agents receive new inbound tickets… and are currently seeing all the traffic for each ticket. I think there is a profile setting for an agent to see traffic for only their assigned tickets...however, I can’t find the setting… is that available in the free version?    Many thanks.    --- L

Hi All,We are experiencing an issue implementing a new theme in Freshdesk for our Knowledge Base. We have this with a paid and with a free theme so it does seem to be linked to Freshdesk I suppose. When implementing the code, everything is going well but the search bar still shows the default text and when searching something it does not preview any results. (when clicking enter it does show results but we would also like to see the preview.). See example of our situation: VS what we want/Freshdesk’s website. Any ideas how to solve this? Thanks,Thomas

If a customer sends an email to ####@####.freshdesk.com it is taking more than 2 hours to create the ticket and the responses are taking more than 10 minutes to reach customers, there is a problem today?

Hello all!First time messaging here.By default, Help Widgets have a field in them that is called “Your Name”. I need to translate this field label to another language (in this case, Finnish).However, I cannot find the field in either Ticket or Customer fields to rename it. Adding Finnish as a secondary language in the system did not update it in the widget either.Widget is used outside Freshdesk Portal.Any advice would be appriciated! 

Hello, When I create an article in our company’s Knowledge base, I need to customize it with code. I saw that there is a code view, but it seems that the HTML code I configure does not work as expected (I tested in a different environment and it worked). I am trying to code dropdown content buttons.Is it possible on Freshdesk system? If it does, what is the best way to do so? I want to have the option to click on a buttom with a subject, and that button will open a sub-article. I need several buttons inside one article. Thank you,Amit  

There are usual situation, when during the conversation requester change subject and this reply is in the initial ticket, how to answer correct for this type of response? Because now, when we answer, the answer does not take into account the last response because of different subjects.

Is it possible to schedule or delay the responses to the TICKETS for the start of the next business hours?AttnGustavo Santa

Hi  I was looking for if there is a way to achieve below two things  Search faq articles from knowledge base with some filter in it . For example if i have multiple products whose FAQs are stored in the same account and i want to use the search API of FAQs using some filter that will only fetch FAQs with that particular filter ( I saw that Fresh-chat mobile SDK offers this as solution but does not have APIs associated with it)  2 . Use FD knowledge base similar to how FC knowledge base is created in SDK (with all the filtering capabilities that they have )
