Freshdesk seems to not sending emails anymore from our account, since few days ago. Any clues? 

Hi, we are using Freshdesk support desk and until now Freshdesk has been sending email’s on our behalf. This means that we have to add email.freshdesk.com to our SPF record. This means that Freshdesk alone adds 8 DNS queries to our SPF record and the standard allows for only 10 in total.For comparison Microsoft adds two for the whole of Office 365.Now, what i have feared has happened and we have passed the limit and our SPF record is not valid anymore. I don’t know if we added the one or if Freshdesk added another sub record.There is really two problems, one is the size of the record to begin with and the other is that Freshdesk can add subrecords at anytime without any of their customers knowing and pushing that client over the limit.I think therefore it is very important for suppliers that have SPF that is used by alot of customers to be very small and maintained correct.One solution is to create your SPF record and then only add ip addresses to this record that you then maintain whe

HiCan anyone help/has anyone had this issue. I have asked freshdesk for help but problem still not resolved.If we put our company logo into our signature and change the size to smaller then send a client an email from FD the logo shows very large on their email. Any help appreciated thanks 

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

We have the widget on our website with the CAPTCHA required to contact us. The CAPTCHA recently started having problems late last week and our customers were not able to contact us. We sent test emails and received the same error message.No matter what you do, you cannot get around the CAPTCHA as it always states that it fails. So I had to remove the CAPTCHA requirement for the time being. I raised a ticket regarding this matter on Wednesday but it seems that it is still being worked on. Is anyone else experiencing this issue and is a fix in progress?

When trying to create a ticket through the portal form, I am receiving the following message:'We are sorry. You have been restricted from accessing this helpdesk page’ Could someone help me solve this problem? Thanks for your time and support. André

Some of our Yahoo recipients are not receiving our emails, there an ongoing issue on this? 

I have been working on a customer portal last year and everything was working fine after publishing it (the SEO was great!) One month ago I stumbled upon the analytics and saw that they dramatically decreased. The organic traffic was very small because Google was slowly taking down our solution articles (400+) and only 8 of them were still indexed.Most of the pages are in status discovered/crawled but not indexed. I checked in various threads and forums and it looks like it is because the main landing page has a wrong canonical defined. https://assistenza.zanichelli.it/support/home has this canonical declared: (https://assistenza.zanichelli.it/support/solutions). I define the canonical dynamically on the header so I don't have a way to manually specify the canonical for the main landingpage. <link rel="canonical" href="{{ meta.canonical }}">All the other article pages have a proper canonical (dynamically generated) but it looks like since the indexing of the main page fails, Goog

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. 

Hi,We have a lot of customers send through PII data in emails which ends up in our Freshdesk tickets. I understand the level of security freshdesk provides, but I'm looking for suggestions on how to to note its collection and restrict its distribution.Has anyone dealt with this before?Should I use tags to mark it as sensitive info and have the email redacted so that when the customer is replied to the PII info is not going back an forth etc.Any suggestions would be appreciated.  

Hello Community :) Everytime when I want to request a Ticket on my Freshdesk Page, I get Redirected to a page.That page says “We are sorry. You have been restricted from accessing this helpdesk page.”I dont know why its not working, can anyone help me? Cheers 

When an Email is sent by customer, few TO Email Address are marked along with the Support address and when the agent is replying, customer wants the To Field to be editable so that the response can be provided to the actual To ID of the email instead of the Sender of the email, Possible?

I was able to hide the agent name from the ticket details with;jQuery('#ticket-field-agent').hide();And some other fields like this; var SupportForm = ['helpdesk_ticket_priority'] SupportForm.map(function(field_id){ jQuery('#'+field_id).parents('.controls ').remove(); })However the agent name is still showing to our customers in the ticket list view on the portal.{% snippet ticket_list %} The agent name doesn’t have a field id or it’s own div here, I could hide the whole help-text line but that would also remove the created by and created date information from the list view.I need to only hide the agent nameHow can I achieve this?

When styling the login page is it possible to change the order of and individually restyle the “Are you an agent?” and “Are you a customer?” login links?Ideally we would have the prompt for customers to login be much more prominent and higher on the page than the agent login. It’s not very intuitively laid out as it is currently (why is there a headset icon next to the customer login and the agent login?!). Appreciate any pointers that anyone might have. Thanks!

I Have tried to change the cards' text to say something that makes more sense. Filling up a support ticket to Fill out a support ticket. But when I change the text for one, it changes the text for all the cards.This is on FreshDesk Pro  <section class="container-fluid px-0 mt-16">    <div class="container">      <div class="row justify-content-center">        {%for card in portal.home_cards %}          {% if card.show %}            <div class="col-md-6 col-xl-3 mb-8">              <a class="card fw-horizontal" href="{{card.url}}" aria-label={{card.label}}>                <div class="col-3 px-0 my-auto text-center">                  <div class="fw-category-icon">                    {{ card.image }}                  </div>                </div>                <div class="card-body col-9">                  <h2 class="mt-0 card-title fs-18 line-clamp-2">{{card.label}}</h2>                  <p class="line-clamp-3"&gt

Hello ! I need some help :) I recently created an account to use the Freshdesk Support Desk. And I have this weird message:“Outgoing emails are blocked for your account. Please contact our support team at support@freshdesk.com” Do you have a solution ? 

Hello,Same problem as other tickets, unable to create a ticket : 403 Forbiddenhttps://support.freshdesk.com/support/discussions/topics/50000002794https://support.freshdesk.com/support/discussions/topics/50000002785Regards,-- Cyril Trümpler

We are (unsuccessfully) trying to add a secondary support email for our developer relations team. It is a google group account and so can not sign in via SSO, and does not have a username/password. I can’t find any documentation for how Freshdesk expects us to connect this account so that incoming emails get pushed into their system. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi! My company has a portal for Solutions (articles) and another for Support (tickets). I would like to have a place to present videos and other information for new customers to explain them how account configuration works and guide them. Should I create a new portal or a custom section in the theme (we have a custom theme with Breezy)? I’m not sure what is possible.    

One particular user has mass spammed our support email address 2 times in the last 2 weeks.  For the first one, I contacted FS support and after a few days, they realized the user was blocked and had to manually unblock them on the backend.  I thought the issue was on our side until it happened again and realized it is some type of loop or issue on the FreshService email side.  4 days have passed, and support is lacking on helping.  The user is a VIP and needs to open up tickets via email for their processes but is blocked.  To explain further, the user opened 3 tickets last week, no issues.  The 4th one was opened via the support email address which forwards to the FS email.  In 8 minutes, 142+ emails flooded the support address along with all the users who were CCed.  As soon as FS blocked the requester, all emails to everyone stopped.  After troubleshooting with the user, the first time it happened, it was sent with Outlook via a Macbook.  The second time, an iPhone via the Outlook

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?

On my portal, I would very much like to have a separate tab for FAQ articles. I also want the folders arranged in a list on the left, with the articles within showing in a list with only the title showing, with a expand/collapse button right next to each title, that makes the content of the article appear/disappear.Freshdesk themselves has this:Emails : FreshdeskHas anyone here been able to do this with coding? and if so, could someone maybe provide some snippets and a short explanation of how to do it?

Since this basic function isn’t built-in to one of leading ticketing systems, how are people scheduling tickets with Outlook? I’ve asked about Outlook Calendar integration with support chat and via direct email to support@freshdesk.com. Freshdesk has not provided a response.   There’s not even a ‘calendar’ tag available in this forum. Are people just not using calendars any more? How to you schedule your day and week?
