Solved

Hello.Have anybody tried creating a working Automation Rule in Freshdesk using Webhook Discord?When I tried to use the Discord webhook link, it’s not sending anything to my discord text channel.However, I found a work around on this. I created a webhook in https://pipedream.com/ and connected it to my Discord webhook.I then used the webhook generated from pipedream on my Freshdesk Automation rule and it works.I was just wondering if there are any easier way to do this. Thanks.

If I have a freshservice setup with three workspaces: ITHRFacilities Currently the service desk has the standard “Raise an issue” card, and if the requester selects it, they go to the ticket form, where they have to select the workspace in a dropdown. I would like instead to have a widget that has an clickable image or button that says “Raise an HR ticket”, “Raise an IT ticket”, “Raise a facilities ticket”. These will go straight to the specific workspace version of the form.   

Hi, I am fairly new to using automations and conditional nodes in freshservice. What I am attempting to do is check if any of a multi drop down form entry contains a word. For example “test”. How do I do contains or how do extract each entry in the multidrop down to then do validation on it?  

An internal policy we have is to keep the conversation the customer has to the same agent whenever possible. I’m looking for a way to set the assigned agent as none if the assigned agent is unavailable and the number of agent responses on the ticket is 0.It appears automations can only reference agent availability for Update Automations, and not Time based automations.Any ideas on how to achieve this? Just not possible?We’re currently just telling the team to set themselves as unavailable half an hour before they end a shift but would prefer something more reactive.

Hey there,I was wondering how or is it possible to add further information to an auto reply (which group it’s assigned to etc.) to help with email filtering?It would be amazing to add it to the Subject if possible, as we’ve got a fair amount of groups in our servicedesk it would prove useful.Thanks!Sam

We have had an issue on a couple of occasions where an agent will merge a ticket incorrectly, into another companies ticket. Why does Freshdesk allow this to happen? There should either be the option to restrict ticket merging into the same company, or there should be a prompt that says “The ticket you are merging into, does not match the original company name of <insertcompanyname>.” As there is no way to undo a merge, I think there should be additional verification in place to ensure that ticket merging is going into the correct place.The current merge pop-out doesn’t give enough information. Does not mention the company name No company name is displayed hereNo company name is displayed here. No way of comparing each ticketAlso no company name here. And below this is a huge amount of white space that could be utilised better.There is a humungous amount of white space below the last screenshot, which really should be used to display additional information.

In our use case, agents perform key activities—for example, the IT team creating a user’s email address or the HR team creating an employee ID.  While there is an option to add a stakeholder, the dropdown consistently shows “No options available.” Is this expected behavior, or could this be a bug?

Hi! So, one of our agents is facing an issue where the number of pending approvals is displayed as 5, but when he opens the widget, only 4 tickets are there. Tried filtering by “ticket approvals”, “change approvals” and “all approvals”, still the same mismatch prevails. Is there any reason as to why this is happening? Is it some backend issue? Coz it's been about 2-3 days, but still the same count is getting displayed. Due to this we’ve kept the approval process on hold. Any ideas or solutions are welcome!!!

Hi everyone,I’m running into an issue where cases in my Freshservice instance are being auto-closed or marked as resolved sooner than I expect. Sometimes this happens even when the customer hasn’t confirmed that the issue is fully resolved, and it’s causing confusion with follow-ups and reporting.I’ve checked my workflow automations and service level policies, but I’m not entirely sure which settings control the timing of auto-closure. I’m also wondering if there’s a best practice around handling resolutions so that agents or customers have enough time to confirm before a case is closed.Has anyone else experienced this before?

We are in the process of ironing out a process for managing warranty replacements for our assets. I have a custom field, a check box (though i could make it anything else if that would help the process). I would like to have an automator that triggered when someone on our equipment team check’s that box and generates a ticket into the Tech support ticket queue we have.  I currently have it set to send an email to our domain, and to me. I get the email, our domain doesnt which makes me think that exchange might be blocking it somewhere. That said, I don’t want to drag our networking team into this if I don’t have to, and I feel like Fresh sending a ticket from Fresh to Fresh should be an easy ask. So...what am I missing here?

We have multiple workspaces and Service Catalogs in each.  Is there a “link” to only the catalog items for a single Workspace?  If not, how do we reorder Catalog items from multiple workspaces in the customer portal - I only see how to do this inside each workspace.

Looks like the training videos I was able to look up on YouTube are quite old.  Are there newer ones I’m not seeing?

I’m looking for a way to export a .csv file of each time a specific service request was filled out. Specifically I want the exported csv to include custom field information that the user entered when filling out the request.For example a service request to get a specific software license which requires the user to include a justification for their request. I have done this in the past but I either cant figure out how I did it the first time or something changed and its no longer possible. My assumption would be to create a ticket view filter that compiles all instances of the specific service request “Software license” and then use the column filters to include the custom field “Justification”. When I filter out the “software license” I don’t have any way to view or export the custom fields included in that request.  

What Freshworks features, workflows, or tips have helped you most in your work? Do you focus more on automations, reporting, integrations, or something else? I’m interested to hear what parts of the platform others find most helpful and why.

Hi guysFor years Freshdesk has been assigning the proper Full Name of new enquires to our contacts when new tickets were created.  But now it doesn’t use the full name, but rather the 1st half of the email address.  Eg. if someone fills out a form and their email address is lucky123@gmail.com, the contact in Freshdesk is created as “Lucky123” - even if they filled in their full name.This changed when we updated the website and change WordPress forms from Formiddle to Fluent Forms.Our process was simple:Website visitor completes form → form email gets fowarded to unqiue Freshdesk email address → Ticket and contact is created from form info → Name is created based on the Full Name on the form (which was set as the “Sender’s Name” in the email settings.As mentioned, now with Fluent Forms it only used the 1st half of the email address (before the @) as the name.  So we have to manually update each new contact / leads name.Freshdesk support says we have to do it via a complex API setup and

Hi everyone, how are you?I'd like to know if I'm the only one having problems with support. I've had ticket #19529945 open since January 14th and haven't received a response yet. My system could go down at any moment due to lack of payment.

I have a question regarding the Freshservice portal for end users.  We have moved away from ‘Incident Categories’ and moved to the fields for Category/Sub-Category/Item.Things are working well, but a few inquiries have have come about stating too many clicks and added time searching for items in three different fields to submit a ticket. Has Fresh thought about a generic ‘Search Field’ where a keyword is typed in and selected (pulling from the Category properties) that auto-populates the Category/Sub-Category/Item fields when a user finds what they are looking for? 

We have thousands of contacts setup who have never created a ticket with us.  In 2025 we’re launching our customer portal, and I only want to invite people who have previously logged a ticket, rather than all people who were migrated from our previous system.Is there a way to easily identify which contacts have never logged a ticket, and delete them?

Hi! I’m unable to deactivate users/requesters in my sandbox environment. It works fine in prod though. Is this a limitation or is it something that I can turn OFF from my side?

I am new to Freshservice and still trying to get around the configuration. I’ve been looking at some of the third party integrations (e.g. AzureAD Provisioning) however they require an API key.If I follow the instructions to get my API key - select my Profile Picture (top right) > Profile Settings on the right hand side there’s a heading Your API Key however underneath there’s a message that says:Your API key is disabled. Please contact your admin to enable it.I am the organisation admin for our account so I assume I have the correct priveleges, and I have been searching the documentation and the internet and cannot for the life of me find any information on how to enable it, other than ‘speak to your admin’…If someone would please shed some light onto this that would be amazing as it’s increasinly frustrating that I cannot locate any information - and starting to tarnish my opinion of what appeasrs to be a good product. I am sure it’s something simple that I have missed!!Thanks

Is there a way to add a custom project status? Such as Proposed, Draft, Active, On Hold, Completed, Cancelled?

I have a scheduled workflow that checks if it is the “hold until date” (custom date field), and if it is, moves the ticket from hold or pending to open for review. As part of the workflow action, I would like to also reset the “hold until date” to a blank value. Is there a way to do this from the workflow action, or do I need to use a webhook? One thought I had was to use an expression node to produce a null date, then set the date field to the output of that expression, but I couldn’t get a formula to pass validation.

Hello!I am using Freshdesk, and have multiple customer companies. I have a portal set up for each company, with a custom url.I’m trying to get Freshdesk to be able to associate company A with company A’s portal and tickets, and company B with company B’s portal and tickets. I’d need the system to send the correct activation URL as well in the activation email. I am struggling to figure out how to do this. Is this possible? Should we only have one portal? If only one portal, how will the portal and system know to only show company A’s forms to company A users (and only show them tickets for company A as well). Thank you!
