Solved

Logging incidents on the self service portal via templatesIn previous tools we set up preset templates so colleagues could log incidents quicker, off the back of that we then created work flows so incident tickets could land with different departments based on template, this was handy because in some cases not every ticket for example “Outlook” or “laptop” would land with the same team. I know workflows are possible in Fresh service but i am wondering what other companies are doing now to control workflows of incidents, what are you doing to automate tickets as they land via the self service portal. 

HiCan anyone help/has anyone had this issue. I have asked freshdesk for help but problem still not resolved.If we put our company logo into our signature and change the size to smaller then send a client an email from FD the logo shows very large on their email. Any help appreciated thanks 

I’d like to understand the recent trend of % of tickets closed by the requester. I know I can use this action in automation rules, but I have been unable to find the metric in the reporting engine.

Hi Community,Wondering if anyone can help.I am trying to create a FreshService ticket in PowerAutomate when someone fills out an MS Form. However, the FreshService connector requires the Requester's ID, which I thought would be straightforward. I added the dynamic content email address from the MS Form response, but it fails asking for a number. I need the Create Ticket to come from the user how completed the MS Form does anyone have any thoughts why this is not working or how I could achieve this? Many thanks 

I’m making requests to bring ticket data and I’ve included the stats. However, I noticed that in some requests the first_responded_at field has a date before created_atExample: "created_at": "2025-08-04T21:17:28Z",        "updated_at": "2025-08-29T14:40:53Z",        "associated_tickets_count": null,        "tags": [            "PROD02221-594"        ],        "stats": {            "agent_responded_at": "2025-08-06T20:43:38Z",            "requester_responded_at": "2025-08-06T19:47:42Z",            "first_responded_at": "2024-12-02T21:53:47Z",            "status_updated_at": "2025-08-11T15:30:51Z",            "reopened_at": null,            "resolved_at": null,            "closed_at": null,            "pending_since": null What could be causing this?

On the Freshdesk contacts page, how can I customize the fields/columns shown? I want to hide “Facebook” and “Twitter” and show a custom customer field (“Department”) that I created. Is this not possible on the Growth plan?

I have some tickets, that have been created internal and marked as a bug status. The problem is we do not respond to this ticket, which then triggers the “FIRST RESPONSE DUE” status. I have tried sending a response but this still isn't cleared.Any help is appreciated  

I set up an Enterprise Freshdesk instance independently for my team outside of IT since they were not ready to commit and now, they want to discontinue mine, set up a new Enterprise instance, expand it to other teams and basically take ownership. I spent a lot of time setting up the automations, fields, etc and we have been using Freshdesk for well over a year now. Is there any way for me to export everything I have created so I can import it into this new instance? Or do I have to manually recreate everything all over again?

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.

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.

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

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?

Is there a way to upload holidays in a CSV , cant be selecting one by one for each group Country holidays there sometimes not accurate 

This is going to be a little bit rant-y, but I’m very frustrated with Freshdesk Support. I have submitted 2 different support tickets to Freshdesk support requesting help with a variety of issues over the last 7 days and have currently heard nothing on either one. This is particularly frustrating because on day 5 I resubmitted the first ticket to freshsales support instead and received multiple responses plus a resolution within 24 hours. Presumably these are two different team of people who are likely working completely remote from each other but the Freshdesk support is frankly bordering on embarrassing at this point. Not to mention I now have a third open ticket that appears to be intended for an internal sales agent to reach out to us and try to up-sell or otherwise “close the upgrade” in our plan. I can’t tell if whoever is running that support is clueless or what is going on but if our company wasn’t so set on using Freshdesk this would definitely be enough to get us to consider

On the dashboard (tickets) where you can view as a table or card, in the table view it would be great to have the ‘Modified Date’ so a user can see exactly when the last update was made. (You can sort by Last Modified’ but having that date would be awesome and helpful. Right now, you need to click into the ticket to see this. The table view only has ‘Created Date’ (Card view in the body of the information displays Created Date but again Modified Date or Last Modified Date would be so helpful. This shouldn’t be a large effort as you already have the info. Just need to display it.

Does anyone have suggestions for how to improve our IVR messages? In particular, the wait queue and call back messages? Here’s my situation:Call goes into the queue Play wait queue for caller that says something like, “All agents are busy, please hold or press * to leave a voicemail.” Append queue position I’d like to enable callback so immediately after the queue position the Callback says something like, “Press 1 to remain in queue or press 2 to leave a voicemail.” If callers presses 1, it repeats the wait queue message above (#2) and the queue position.. over and over and over.This means the customer experience goes something like this: “All agents are busy, please hold or press * to leave a voicemail… You are number 1 in line…Press 1 to remain in queue or press 2 to leave a voicemail...All agents are busy, please hold or press * to leave a voicemail… You are number 1 in line…All agents are busy, please hold or press * to leave a voicemail… You are number 1 in line…All agents are bu

When a user (not admin) views their ticket tab and tries to export tickets, the set date option no longer displays the fields to specify the date range. 

I am trying to change the name “Knowledge Base” to “Help Center” in our Portal.   From what I’ve read, it looks like the only way to do this is by customizing the code under Admin > Channels > Portals > Customize > Edit theme. We are trying to not spend development resources on this, but I’m having trouble finding a good way to make this change in the code editor.Does anyone have an existing script that we can use to make this change?

I am helping a client with their FreshDesk system that was set up by their previous web agency. The client has a few different support request forms with some custom ticket fields specific to each ticket form. On their 3 main forms, instead of using the default description field, they created a few customer multi-line fields to ask for more specific information, and to accommodate more than one field for customers to use. The problem is this makes it very difficult for the support agents. All of the most important information provided by the customer is in the Properties widget section, which is quite small and difficult to access. I also noticed that the default "Description" multi-line field not only displays the the content in the Ticket body section, but also provides a rich-text editor, vs plain-text for any of the custom multi-line fields. I've reviewed this page for reference: https://support.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/37588-understand-the-ticket-details-view#The-t

Hello, I'm having the same issue as other topics mentioned:Outgoing emails are blocked for your account. Please contact our support team at support@freshdesk.com I've contacted support@freshdesk.com but they are taking a bit too long to fix this issue, and we have some tickets open waiting for response. Could someone from here fix this for us? 

We are experiences issues with notifications on Incident cases where a Requester is also an Agent in FreshDesk.The Requester (Agent) updates a case with a public Note or answers an email notification from the case, however the other Agent assigned the case is not consistently receiving an email notification that the case has been updated with an answer. In some cases this works, in others it does not.I can see others have had similiar issues:I am not getting email notifications when a note is added by another agent | Freshworks CommunityPrivate Note Notifications missing for agent | Freshworks Community2 or more agents working on same ticket, Problem with notification when adding notes | Freshworks CommunityIs there a solution for this? A workaround? Perhaps a workflow that can be created?Thanks,Matthew
