Portals, Emails & Other Channels

Hi, bit of a noob question but we have the standard portal at FreshService;https://companyname.freshservice.com/support/homeAfter a user logs a ticket and then activates their account they get redirected to log onto this portal. We also have a custom portal configured we were going to use for customers;https://ouraccountname.companyname/support/home My ‘test’ customer account can sign into either portal and get the same view of cards, open tickets etc.  So is there a way of making our custom portal ‘default’ for customers without them being redirected automatically to the standard portal if they click on a ticket link in an email. I’ve just clicked on a link for my test account to open a ticket and got directed tohttps://companyname.freshservice.com/support/tickets/54 thanks  

I got an email titled “New Activity” as follows: I want to change the content of this email but can’t find it in Email Notifications -> Agent Notifications.Can anyone tell me where it is?

Hello,When I access the portal preview and then update portal settings such as background color, the changes do not take effect until I reload the preview pageTo see the new modifications, I have to close the website and click on the preview again.When you're working on a portal and can't see the changes right away, it's incredibly annoying.Is it possible that the developers will be able to solve it?Thank you very much.

how can you get an export from freshdesk where in the child tickets the ticket id of the parent item is also included? Now you only have the relation (parent or child) but when you have a child ticket, it would be useful to have the number of the parent ticket in the export for reporting purposes. Anyone has an idea?

The Submit button on the Feedback form is very small and much too far down on the page. It should be closer to the bottom of the form.  The top dividing line and Email Address field are longer than the rest of the fields; it looks sloppy. These should be lined up. After entering your email address, you are auto-advanced to the Subject line. If you want to enter your name in the Name field, you have to go backward and click into it. Certain browsers, like Edge, do not auto expand when you click in the Captcha “I’m not a robot” checkbox. You have to scroll your way through the images in a narrow band. Captchas are frustrating enough without that extra hassle.

I'm having issues with Freshdesk support. I submitted a bug report, but the First Line agent does not understand that it's an actual issue and refuses to escalate the case to someone with the necessary technical expertise.It is so incredibly frustrating. Is the freshdesk support really this bad I probably should look for an alternative.

A few many times we miss out some part of an ongoing conversation with our clients because the Emails land in the SPAM folder in the mail box . Such Emails do not convert to ticket in freshdesk. I even tried forwarding the email in SPAM back to mailbox to which the forwarded Email landed in the Inbox folder of mailbox. Still then no ticket got created. Need help! 

Heya everyone,as the title describes I’m encountering errors when I try submitting a ticket on both the embedded form and the portal itself. I’ve looked it up and it appears as if this is resolved on a case to case basis.Portal URL: https://3001.freshdesk.comEmbedded form: https://dev.3001.host/contact Hope this can get fixed

I tried to configure it with Captcha and without. Nothing helped. Any solution?URL is: https://wonderkindhelp.freshdesk.com  

Hello Everyone, I’m following this solved thread but still in search best solution.I need to add a disclaimer below the solutions. A link would also be fine, but I would prefer to have the text directly on the same page.Please note that the request is not about removing the footer (with the credits to Freshdesk). I just need to add additional text.Thanks in AdvanceRegards: Zaina 

Does anyone here experience this issue. See attached screenshot,  

Hello!Is it possible to sort tickets by contacts, e.g. using the provided name or email address of the contact?Or alternatively to have an overview of the number of tickets / tickets when viewing all contacts.We usually have several tickets from the same contact and overviewing them or sorting through them would be easier if we could sort tickets based on contact info.Greetings!

I’m having a problem submitting tickets on our site - raleighschool.freshdesk.com. After submitting a ticket, I get the error “We are sorry. You have been restricted from accessing this helpdesk page.” In looking at other tickets other customers have posted, it looks like Freshdesk support needs to do something to fix it. Can someone take a look? -Paul 

Anyone experiencing latency issues with email

have Freshdesk working in MS teams, but the tickets are only showing up in one team. How do I get the other teams to see the tickets as well. Freshdesk app has been added to the other teams.

Hi, Does anyone here experience the disappearing fields in ticket forms portal but visible in ticket fields?  Thank you

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, 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

We are seeing email delivery latency with ticket creation, updates to tickets lately.  It is not happening all of the time, but sporadically. Some emails will come in an hour after a ticket is updated, and have had some where the emails are not reaching their target from 4 hours and have had a few up to 13 hours after a ticket was updated.   Looking through the archives, it seems this has been a topic  of conversation, but wanted to see if any  others are experiencing this type of latency?

Since the agent portal has a feature to sort replies and comments by date (most recent or oldest), it would be nice to have this feature for free in the agent portal.To expand further, when you visit the customer portal, what you see is the oldest message on the top of the webpage here:  What is missing is a way to sort the messages in any way, this is rather incovieneint for customers with very long threads and hundreds of messages. They need to scroll all the way to the bottom of the page to see the most recent response in this view. Furthermore, a customer could sort their tickets by oldest - newest or vice versa. As you can see below, this feature exists for tickets in the customer portal, but not for replies.  

Hello, I’m thinking about removing the customer support portal for my business. We have created a new support website which uses freshdesk APIs to display our solutions and the support widget so we don’t want the old support portal to be accessible to customers anymore (although our agents will still be using their side which is not customer facing).  I couldn’t find how to do this in the admin panel so some direction would be greatly appreciated.Thank you!

Hello, I am starting out on Freshdesk and using the free plan. People who communicate with my helpdesk get emails from “Example” (ex: “Example <support@mydomain.com>”). I see “Example” in the portal settings page, but I don’t see a place to modify that to something more appropriate. I saw in the “Multiple Products” page where I could add more products, but not modify the name of the “Example” product. I have looked around elsewhere but can’t find anywhere else in the admin settings where I can change or remove that “Example” product. Can someone tell me where to go to modify it OR at least change the FROM email address so my customers aren’t seeing “Example” in my emails to them?

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”  My account: https://technolsuporte.freshdesk.com/ Thanks,

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!Has anyone had any luck with an integration that allows you to create web forms (surveys, questionnaires etc) with conditional logic that can automatically create a ticket for agents? Is there a native functionality that I’ve somehow missed?Thanks in advance!
