Using Freshdesk

The standard mailbox setup suggests you create a dedicated gmail-based user account that then configures its mailbox at the user level to forward mail into the dedicated Freshdesk email address. Google wants to ensure you have control of the forwarded email address, so it sends a verification email with a code that you can retrieve through the Freshdesk “verification” process. This is simple enough but it requires an active gmail user account — something that costs money and is not necessary. Instead, you can setup most mail servers (including in Google GSuite) to do a server side forwarding (GSuite calls it a “recipient address mapping”) that relays mail without creating a dedicated account or mailbox on your server. This works great — and immediately — without even bothering to send a verification code. You don’t need to hit the Freshdesk verify button at all because (I guess) Google trusts GSuite admins more than gmail users, so there’s no need to relay a verification code back t
As a new user of FreshDesk I am coming up to speed with the various features and, in particular, how it aligns with our own business processes. One use case that is very common for us is to have a ticket where the next step (not necessarily resolution) is required from someone outside of our organization. The most obvious situation is where we email a customer asking for some information. In this situation we want a way to specify that we will wait for a certain period of time i.e. the ticket is “on hold” for a few days. For example, when sending a question to a customer we might decide we are OK waiting up to two days for a response, before taking a next step ourselves (resending, phoning, etc). The only slightly overlapping field I see for this is Resolve By. But, of course, the use case is quite different. We are not expecting that the ticket is resolved, merely that the next step is taken. We’d then want a sorted list of tickets, where those that have been “punted” for a few days a
We have a team leader who is stating that the reporting for one of her team is completely incorrect.Is there a way to verify the reporting is correct without the team member being asked? Ive looked through all other users and they seem ok, It just looks like this one user is only doing a few tickets now and again.
Hi!Let me explain the problem with an example:Suppose Freshdesk has an email address as a support channel.A customer sends an email to this address and takes another person in copy at the same time.A ticket is created in Freshdesk. So far everything is ok.But now the agent has to forward the ticket to a colleague who does not use Freshdesk to clarify a question. The colleague now receives a mail from Freshdesk and only sees the original sender in the mail history, but not the recipient and also not the person in copy. This information is removed.Is there an option to turn this off?

We have been getting a weird error on our Solutions page for a while now -- we’re looking to eventually update our theme for our support site, but we’re trying to dig in and get to the bottom of what’s causing this error before doing so.We’ve reached out to FD support, who helped us to hide links to this page, but we’d like to fix the root of the problem. Here’s the page where the error is showing: https://help.bl.ink/support/solutions/The error says: Search results for ""Liquid error: undefined method `filters' for nil:NilClass We’ve also tried Googling with little luck.

I am evaluating FreshDesk and generally pleased with what I see. However, I have a use case that doesn’t seem to be addressed. It seems like a pretty straightforward situation so I hope this is just me missing something.A VA at my company creates a ticket (initially for internal discussion). We work the ticket and come to a conclusion or fix the issue. We then want to email a customer. We need to track that email in the ticket so that everyone is aware. IMPORTANT : Until this point the customer has had nothing to do with the ticket.I am stuck on this, as follows...As I understand, I can’t use Reply, since there is no previous communication with the customer so his/her details are not available. Forward is not an option since that would include the whole (internal) discussion in the email sent to the customer.I am hoping that someone can put me out my misery and tell me how to achieve this. This would be a very common use case for my small business. Thank you.
Hi, i'm Laurens and newbie in regard to Freshdesk.We installed freshdesk a month ago and it is working like a dream exept for…..Feshdesk is reading 3 different IMAP mailboxes and sometimes we noticed that emails are not picked up by Freshdesk. For instance on a typical day 20 emails are delivered to the email box but only 18 are picked (read by) up by Fresdesk.The emails which are not being read by Freshdesk are normal emails.We cannot figure this one out. Any idea how to debug this or where to look?thx in advance, Laurens
When we reply to customers their email is added to the end of the agents reply. When the customer replies with their email client set to include the original email, you huge emails returning when there have been a few back and forths, making it hard to find the reply in pages of text.Now there is a icon on at bottom of the reply window that allows you to display and include the customers email or exclude it by selecting the X that appears when you hover over the icon.Can’t capture the X when doing a screen print.What we would like to do is permanently turn off the automatic inclusion of the customer’s email and only include it when selected via the icon.Regards,Arie.For Hind Technology.
Hi all,I’m experiencing a problem with receiving forwarded mails in Freshdesk. At this moment a single team in our organisation is trying out Freshdesk, so we haven’t integrated the system in our organistion yet. When someone from another teams forwards an email to this testing team, they will only receive the content of their collegue’s email, but not the content of the original email. Using Freshdesk organisation-wide would solve this problem ofcourse, but I’m wondering what happens when an external person would forward an email to our support address. What is known about this issue and is the a way to solve it? Thanks in advance!
Hi, We are in the processing of moving across to a full suite of the Freshworks products, but want to understand if anyone has had any experience integrating in getting Sage 50 into Freshworks?Ideally so we can see invoicing, update account details, automate email send outs etc. Just looking to see if this is something anyone has seen or had an experience with really.Thanks,Alex

The close button of the widget is colliding with the close button. Check this screenshot from my product: The Windows users are the most affected ones (considering that macOS scrollbars are less intrusive) and they see this layout abnormality. Since it looks like the component uses random CSS classes I didn't consider creating my own CSS rules to fix this, I think this could be ideally fixed by Freshdesk development team.
Hi,Which languages does solution suggestor support?
I have this problem : we get some automatic emails from « discussions » outside Freshdesk and I would like the emails linked to the same topic to be grouped in the same ticket.All the emails of a topic have the same subject and all the emails for those discussions come from the same contact.In gmail, these are grouped.In Freshdesk, I get a new ticket for each new message, forcing me to spend some time every week to merge them. Is there something we can do to make sure these messages don’t create new tickets all the time ? Either in Freshdesk or in our automatic emails settings ?
