Solved

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.

Hello everyone,I recently edited an email notification, but now it's showing up as a blank page and the email sent is also blank. Has anyone encountered this issue before and can help me out?Thanks in advance!  

Hi, Is there a way to provide fields which are edible during form submission, but not editable in the ticket view after submission? Many thanksChris

Hello!So, I wanted to be able to use the webhook function to extract attachments from tickets automatically after a desired trigger action and either save them to a dedicated file destination or send the data to an application to immediately print pdf/xlxs files. I’ve been reading the documentation, but I think the “Using Webhooks” article might be outdated and would appreciate some help to make sure it works as intended. As I understand it, the JSON code would look something like this:{ "name": "Fetch Email Attachments", "url": "https://yourserver.com/webhook-handler", "http_method": "GET", "headers": { "Content-Type": "application/json", "Authorization": "Basic YOUR_BASE64_ENCODED_API_KEY" }, "payload": { "ticket_id": "{{ticket.id}}", "event": "{{event}}" }, "trigger_on": [ "ticket.created", "ticket.updated" ]} However, in the Trigger webhook section I don’t have an option to edit the body, so I can only assume that the website already has the function writ

Hello,We are experiencing an issue, where an agent goes to reply to a ticket and the CC field does not populate correctly based off the last reply. So instead of the CC field only containing people from the last reply, it will populate people who were on the thread earlier but were removed in recent replies. I know when an agent replies, the To line will always be the requester of the ticket and that the CC field will auto populate based on the people included in the ticket/replies. These tickets usually have multiple external contacts responding to the thread, which they are not aways responding to the latest message and not always replying to the same people (to/cc). Different responses can be From different people, To different people, and CC different people, while replying to different messages in a thread. I think they may be whats causing the CC field to not populate correctly.This is a big issue for our IR team, as they are responding as agents and have wrongfully sent replies/

Where can I see a list of all themes? Paid also.Why is this not built into the product?

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

Hi, I'm trying to hide the product field in the ticket form but when saving it an error message pops up:The multi_product feature(s) is/are not supported in your plan. Please upgrade your account to use it.The issue is that I'm not trying to use it, it is quite the opposite - want is hidden. Might be a bug?  

Will the description provided by a requester get overwritten if the agent changes the ticket template of an existing ticket?

Hello, We have built some draft solutions articles that we need to preview with people who do not have agent access. Is there any way to do this? Or do we have to give them agent access to view previews? Thanks, C

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?

Hello, I am trying to assign a ticket to myself but the assignment email is not sent to my email box and I cannot track it from Outlook. This does not happen if the same ticket is assigned to me by another agent. Is there anything that can be done to get the email sent to me even though I am assigning it to myself? Thank you so much

We make most of our KBAs external-facing, however there's a couple of links that redirect to a login page, when we don't want them to.We seem to have visibility configured in our portals correctly; however when a customer who is not logged in (most of our customers do not log in, almost all KBAs should be visible externally without authentication) attempts to access a visible to all link, a login page appears. What customers see: When they click that link, it takes them here: So I went to take a look at the visibility settings for that folder...That folder’s settings: ​​​​​That Category's settings:It's in the correct portal, has the correct settings, so why can't unauthenticated users see the folder? 

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!

I am wondering if this is working as expected or whether this is a bug.When working with Multi or Single Dropdown fields and selecting the Data Source as ‘Assets’...…All Users, Requesters, Agents, Departments but not Locations... ...when a user attempts to use these Dropdown fields in a form from within the Support or Agent Portals they instead work as a Search box:Why is this the case for everything except Locations?  Is there a way to force it to work as a Dropdown instead of a Search box?

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?

My FreshDesk account is warning me that my service will be interrupted as it exceeds the limit of 2 agents, but, I only have one agent on the account. The screengrab below shows the message informing me about the 2 agent limit on the same page that lists all of the agents I have set up, and there is only one agent set up.

Good day, How accurate it the data extracted with the API corresponding to the analytics provided on FreshDesk? I am currently using the FreshDesk to schedule API to extract ticket data and being able to perform comparison analytics to historical data. I am getting very similar results to some of the FreshDesk reporting stats however not everything is matching. I have also noticed when extracting the underlying data on a FreshDesk report it includes duplicates of tickets that may also be throwing off the accuracy when comparing to the APi - which extracts one row of data per Ticket ID. Is there any way to see the definitions behind ticket counting?e.g resolved tickets I would assume are using the resolved date - how will this be defined for created tickets, assign tickets etc. I would like to create a smooth pipeline from API pulled into Python and translated into a SQL table that can be extracted into an Excel report. However, I have no way to confirm the accuracy of the data while th
