Portals, Emails & Other Channels

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?

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 Community,I have 5 emails set up but lets focus on 3 here : info@acme.com, support@acme.com and orders@acme.com.If an email (ticket) comes into the business (to info@acme.com) and I need to forward it to orders@acme.com, I can ONLY do it from info@acme.com, it works fine and the reply goes back and its great.If the same email comes into support@acme.com and I forward it to orders@acme.com, the exact same as before, nothing happens.Can anyone help with this issue?Thanks

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! 

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

Can you tag (associate) an article to a particular ticket form so this information is presented to customer on the particular ticket form page.

Hey community, Hope you can help me theme my password reset page?I cannot see the option to in the portal theme settings and its not listed at https://support.freshdesk.com/en/support/solutions/articles/50000003754-understanding-themes-to-personalize-your-customer-portal-appearance Does this mean we cannot apply themes to password reset pages?  

Hi. Coming into a company using FreshService and then I was made aware of FreshDesk but not quite understanding what I should be using.  We do not use change/release/project management.  We DO use asset management.  Asset management is not in FreshDesk, is that accurate? We do use and have plans to use Workflow Automator within Service heavily.  I see that FreshDesk has something similar but is it a dumbed down version or the same?  Are analytics the same? Not a fan of having some features in one but some in the other when really, one product seems to make the most sense and it looks like it is taking advantage of customers.

Hello, I´m a new user in freshdesk and I´m trying to understand if I can use the free option to manage my bussines. I need to link two emails accounts, whatsapp and instagram.  And another question is if its possible to modify the email account for replies. Now is showing freshdesk domain not my email. Also how freshdesk is running with resends not with setup of server smtp, when we reply through freshdesk is impossible to know or to get this replies for example on mail mac or other mail app. Thanks

When a new user navigates to our portal, we would like for them to be able to request an account that would then generate a ticket for us to review and accept. Currently there are only two settings (I think).  One is very strict and only allows an existing user to login.  There is nothing for new users.  The other is very liberal where it allows anyone to sign up for an account,. We want something in the middle.  Where another user at a customer can request an account and we approve it. 

When I click “Tickets I raised” in “Ticket Views”, I get nothing despite creating a ticket just today. Is this feature not function?

I have a client that says his customers are getting emails prompting them to click a URL to activate an account. When I click on the link it takes me to a page to log in to the Support Portal. We would like to know why some customers get this email and why is it taking them to an option to sign up for FreshDesk. It is very confusing for the customers. The customers have no reason to sign up for the support portal.  Any idea why this is happening? It was not previously happening.

I have my portal iframed inside my website.  Everything works fine but when someone clicks login or sign up we get this error…  justine.freshdesk.com refused to connect. I think my portal settings are correct but maybe not.  Any ideas?
