Hello, We designed Webhooks to call and update external applications from Freshdesk. If the API call fails for some reason, the feedback comes by mail after one hour (3 retries) or so.Did anyone put in place a more efficient and reactive way to handle Webhook failures and can share about it? We are a bit concerned about having to wait one hour to be notified about the failure of the update.Thank you

Hello Freshdesk,We've successfully linked a WhatsApp account to Freshdesk, and the integration process was seamless.As we begin to receive customer requests through this channel, we've identified the need for an automatic reply regarding our office hours, etc. Could you please let us know when this feature will be available?Thank you!

We have a good amount of tickets that are auto closed by automation rules.  Is there a way to exclude these from all SLA calculations or would I need to assign them to a specific group and then exclude that group in the SLA analytics?

Good Afternoon, Please can you assist in this query. I have had an agent who is unable to send out any emails he receives. The agent is able to see the tickets be raised in FreshDesk, however is unable to respond to any of them as they are undeliverable. Please can you assist. I have deleted the user and re-added them however this has not resolved the issue. Any help  is appreciated.As a follow up on this ticket - I then attempted to respond to this email however it is also undeliverable.

Hi, We have changed our domain to a new domain name which means we had to change all our email addresses as well. After doing that, when a client logs a tickets to Freshdesk, we do receive the ticket, but when we as agents reply to the ticket, it creates a new ticket.I have checked all the suggested setting as from the knowledge base, but it still happens. Any ideas?

Hi, currently I try to integrate Freshdesk in a chat application using the REST api. To do not spam our productive system for the tests, I set up a new freshdesk account and have chosen the FREE version.I tried to first get the list of available tickets according the example curl command: ​curl -v -u user@yourcompany.com:test -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X GET "https://domain.freshdesk.com/helpdesk/tickets/filter/all_tickets?format=json&page=1"​But this does not work. So the question is, is the REST API not working in the free version of Freshdesk?

We have a group that consists of 20 agents and half work an early shift and the other work a late shift. How do we incorporate having the SLA follow and early and late shifts?if I could apply two different business hours to one group, that would be ideal but I don’t think that’s possible. I can’t be the only person that has this issue. Is there a work around?

Hello,I am trying to create a condition based ticket form for the customers to fill in when creating a ticket. So I have placed a ticket field into a section field under another field. Is it possible to add another layer to this and add a section to the ticket field which is within a section currently. I am also wanting to know if sections can be added to the default product field? Kind regards

I have a script that uses the v2 tickets endpoint to return tickets updated since a specific point in time.  The script loops through each ticket returned and, for each, calls the time_entries endpoint to retrieve its time entries.Examining the return headers on the very first API call to get the list of tickets reveals a rate limit of 120 and remaining count of 119. However, the first time the script calls for time entries (on the very first ticket) the API returns a 429 error. Presumably, this would be the second call from a rate limit perspective.We have no other apps using the API key. We are on a Pro plan.Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

I am working on an orchestration for when users go on leave that will block their logon by editing the “logonhours” attribute in AD to block logon.I am able to edit other attributes in the custom_attributes field without an issue, but when I go to update logonhours, I get the following error in the screenshot below: In case the picture doesn’t load for anyone, the error is:The request is not supported At line:1 char:1 + Set-ADUser -Identity 'CN=Test User,OU=************************************************ ... + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (CN=Test User,OU...s,DC=*********************) [Set-ADUser], ADException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : ActiveDirectoryServer:50,Microsoft.ActiveDirectory.Management.Commands.SetADUser Disabling the user is not an option as it will kick off other automation that will break other things in the domain including their IP phone setup. Is this field not able to be updated throug

Hi everyone, how can I connect my Power BI desktop app to the tickets information on FreshService? I want to create custom metrics and dashboards and check them directly. Currently I can export a file manually (as Growth doesn’t allow to schedule and so I cannot get an API URL) and connect directly and do the updates.However, I would love the option to just have a direct connection to it, check real time (almost) for metrics and dashboard at any time. I have a Power BI Pro license and FreshService has been our ticketing system for over a year now.I know this is possible with FreshDesk, but with FreshService I have been unable to find a solution using some articles on this group. There are some third party services, but those are static dashboards or is pricey. We want to be able to create a direct connection and produce the exact metrics that our director needs. thank you!

I am attempting to create an automation that will send ticket info to a webhook when a ticket is updated.  If the ‘Push to Monday’ custom field is selected. Currently it is working only when the ‘Push to Monday’ field is updated.  I would like it to work on any update to a ticket where the ‘Push to Monday’ field has been selected. 

Hello,We want to add a title for a section of checkbox fields to give our customers instruction. It would appear above the checkboxes and say something like “Please indicate which expenses you incurred”. I’ve included a screenshot of the section of this ticket form.  Thank you!Anna

On my portal, I would very much like to have a separate tab for FAQ articles. I also want the folders arranged in a list on the left, with the articles within showing in a list with only the title showing, with a expand/collapse button right next to each title, that makes the content of the article appear/disappear.Freshdesk themselves has this:Emails : FreshdeskHas anyone here been able to do this with coding? and if so, could someone maybe provide some snippets and a short explanation of how to do it?

Hi all,I am trying to modify our knowledge base view to show the category descriptions, but I cannot find instructions on how to include this. Is there custom code available to include the category description for each category when users are viewing all of our solution categories?

I have been testing out the sample API calls for the freshworks API for Integration that we need to do. I have tried to post to our API using Custom Objects I have already set up and received the message  "message":"POST method is not allowed. It should be one of these method(s): GET, HEAD"} We have the API Key and I can do a Get of the Custom Object Records but POST does not seem to be allowed

We’re trying to create sub-tickets (*not actual “Child Tickets*) via an API call, but we need to be able to transfer attachments from the main ticket to them (they generally only have one attachment).When I attempt to put the attachment section from the JSON of the parent ticket into the creation payload, I get a Validation Failed on attachments field of datatype_mismatch with message “It should be of type valid file format”.Here’s the payload I’m putting into my POST to /api/v2/tickets{"email": "REDACTED@redacted.org","status": 2,"priority": 1,"source": 1,"subject": "Child Vaya Onboarding Test","description": "This is a test to Business Apps. Please refer to the parent ticket for attachments.","workspace_id": 2,"group_id": 23000165356, "attachments": [ { "id": 23005786611, "content_type": "application/octet-stream", "size": 1306, "name": "EMP--2024_01_18.csv", "attachment_url": "https://REDACTED.atta

Hello Berlin community!I have been hearing feedback on a few occasions that the current knowledge base hierarchy is not sufficient for some customers - this is especially the case for multinationals that operate at significant scale.Currently, Freshservice supports 3 layers (category, folder, item) which typically does not support use cases very well that have a) multiple functions working in one tenant and/or b) that have more demands on regional and country level distinction.Does this resonate with any of you? And, has anyone found any workarounds or ways of working that offset this current limitation somewhat?   

I am looking at turning off emails to our IT portal to encourage more tickets to be raised by the self service portal.Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Has anyone been able to sucessfully implement this?Also, I suppose the question would be…. how do I do this?

I Have tried to change the cards' text to say something that makes more sense. Filling up a support ticket to Fill out a support ticket. But when I change the text for one, it changes the text for all the cards.This is on FreshDesk Pro  <section class="container-fluid px-0 mt-16">    <div class="container">      <div class="row justify-content-center">        {%for card in portal.home_cards %}          {% if card.show %}            <div class="col-md-6 col-xl-3 mb-8">              <a class="card fw-horizontal" href="{{card.url}}" aria-label={{card.label}}>                <div class="col-3 px-0 my-auto text-center">                  <div class="fw-category-icon">                    {{ card.image }}                  </div>                </div>                <div class="card-body col-9">                  <h2 class="mt-0 card-title fs-18 line-clamp-2">{{card.label}}</h2>                  <p class="line-clamp-3"&gt

I have implemented SSO with JWT for FreshDesk and everything works well so far. We have a custom application where users log in to. And once logged in, they can click a Help link which logs them into FreshDesk on a new tab for the same browser. Our code kicks in when the Help link is kicked and we create a JWT based on the logged in user’s information and pass it to FreshDesk. The works great, but we would also like to implement the log out functionality.  Whenever a user logs out of our application, we would also like to log the user out of FreshDesk. I was trying to see if there is any API endpoint that I can access and pass the JWT token, where the FreshDesk application logs out the appropriate user. I was told that currently such API does not exist. Has anyone faced a similar situation? How did you implement this?
