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  

Whatever mails I reply from freshdesk, all of the replied to cc show undelivered.This has started happening 4th Jan 2024 onwards.Refer image below: ( everything marked in cc is always undelivered, even though the email are operational. ) 

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 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?

When submitting a ticket our Captcha section doesn’t change size. It starts off requesting a tick. If it goes to the click on the X pictures the captcha window stays the same size.Users have to scroll vertically and horizontally to view the pictures. How can I resolve this?

Hi everyone, I have been using Freshdesk with my support team for a year and I still have several things I can’t do (or at least, I have not found how to do them).First and foremost is the possibility to filter tickets, contacts and companies using contact or company fields (and more precisely custom fields). For instance, par of our customers have an « autonomy » contract while the other part have more assistance with several options in their contracts.I set it up in Freshdesk with several checkboxes (one for each additional option)I would like to be able to :list all companies with such or such option filter contact in companies with such or such option filter tickets with such or such optionI can access this by exporting my data but this doesn’t really help my support team for their daily work. Another example is the company name. In the standard company name, we put a numerical ID (because most of the time, this is the name we use internally). But sometimes, we have to search for t

I would like to add a custom button that redirects to a URL and integrate it into the help freshdesk widget. Is this possible?

We have the widget on our website with the CAPTCHA required to contact us. The CAPTCHA recently started having problems late last week and our customers were not able to contact us. We sent test emails and received the same error message.No matter what you do, you cannot get around the CAPTCHA as it always states that it fails. So I had to remove the CAPTCHA requirement for the time being. I raised a ticket regarding this matter on Wednesday but it seems that it is still being worked on. Is anyone else experiencing this issue and is a fix in progress?

Some of our Yahoo recipients are not receiving our emails, there an ongoing issue on this? 

Hello, I would like to know if there is anyway to block agents from changing tickets priorities. Best Regards 

Our company does a lot of service tasks for B2B customers, and they often have more than 1 item for us to service.  I have not been able to find any way for us to record these items in Freshdesk without having us type the items into the description box or any other free text fields. I would like to have a way we can record all items, AND draw reports on them. Anybody have any idea?

Is there a way to hide dropdown choices in a ticket field based on the requestor’s company segment? In our ticket form, we have a Type field that determines which sections are shown. Only our Distributors company segment should be able to select the New license option. 

Hi peers. I’ve been extensively trialing the only product I found to be suitable for our tiny 2 admin service company - TRENGO and have been impressed. Just before buying what will be for us the biggest investment of this kind I did another search and found FRESH. I can’t spare anbother 2 weeks of my time trialing this as the trengo trial has already disrupted us in a bad way. From what I can see straight away is trengo is double the price however they are on hand on whatsapp to answer anything which is a big thing for a novice user. This support does not seem to exist here - I called UK support and did not go through. Help articles take longer to explore and often the key pieces are much quicker to get to just asking someone who knows.We can get over this obstacle and learn ofcourse but here comes the second issue: Fresh offering at glance is convoluted, I basically want an omnichat but here I am being thrown about 12 different products at me all with similar name.  TLDR:I am reaching

Hello Everyone, I hope you are doing fantastic. I am seeking help from you guys in performing one of the automation processes. I am trying to automate the email notification to one of the shared accounts within the organization for a particular service item requested in the ticket.
