Hi all, this isn’t an opportunity to pan Salesforce but rather that I’ve a customer who uses Salesforce and is looking for alternatives.What can you, as a customer that has moved from Salesforce to Freshdesk (or considered both and chose Freshdesk), tell me about the differences?Thanks for your help.

Hello guys. How are you?Currently, when we put a condition that considers the description text, Fresh understands that it's just the FIRST message sent via description, correct?Has anyone ever needed to do an automation that looked at any message sent, regardless if it's the first one or not? Any palliative measures for these cases?I think of this for subject and keyword mapping automations. It would be nice!

Is it possible to create a requester group so that only agents (not requesters) can access the service requests within a certain service catalogue folder.I am thinking along the lines for IT requests for IT, where only the IT team (most of which are agents) have the ability to create a service request for another area of IT. I don’t want other requester to be able to see these service requests.Is that possible? Is there a workaround?Thanks​​​​​​​Dave

I am attempting to craft a CAB email for changes and the request I have from my management is to add the rollout and backout plans into the CAB approval email. I can’t seem to dig up the Dynamic Placeholder for those fields, which makes me feel like they don’t exist, and I am hoping someone here can prove me wrong.

I’m sure nearly everyone using Next Response SLAs is dealing with Next Response being calculated and measured with it isn’t needed. Examples:Customer is just replying, “Thank you.” A customer cc:’s their IT ticket system, and agent replies trigger an automatic reply from that system to the ticket.  The customer is having an internal conversation with their own staff by using the ticket thread. There’s nothing for an agent to do or reply to.We haven’t figured out what to do with these other than make sure the agent objectives don’t require a 100% SLA adherence. The problem with that is agents and managers still have to look at those ticket even if just to say, “Oh, no reply needed.”How do you all handle this?

Anyone else getting an issue where you get an announcement banner from Fresh Service, you click on the “x” but when you open a new page it reappears? Very annoying!

One of my customers wants to be included in any replies from Support if the ticket is logged by a different person in their organisation.Can their email address be automatically added to the Cc field?Another thread on this forum says it can be done with Dispatch’r but it seems this functionality is no longer available.Thanks for your help on this.

Hi All,I’m wondering if anyone has come across a similar situation where they wanted to have different text in different approval emails depending on what is requested. We have various approvals and workflows set-up across different types of service requests. For example:any hardware requests go to the user’s department head, then on to the IT Manager. non-standard hardware/software requests go to me as EUS Support Team Lead for gathering further info, quotes, etc, before then going on to the department head, then the IT Manager for new starters, all requests first go to our HR department for them to go through all information and ensure it’s correct (to avoid us creating incorrectly spelled users, and to confirm whether the user can have a mobile phone as part of their contract, etc)I’d like to have various “copies” of approval emails that give instructions on what the approver should check depending on what the item is.For example, for emails that go to HR, I’d like them to receive a

I have changed our agent reply template to the following:However, when replying to a ticket, the old agent reply template is added to the new one. Now our new signature is shown, and below it the old one is also shown even though the old one is not part of the template anymore (see below) 

Background: So our HR team puts a csv on a fileshare with a list of users that have left our organisation. I have a powershell script that checks that share every hour and will only run if there’s a new file. The PowerShell Script handles all the offboarding of use but we’re still required to log the ticket manually on Freshservice.Unfortunately, my API knowledge is very limited and I have no idea how to even get started on this. I’ve had a look at the documentation but can’t see how to implement this into PowerShell.Ideally, this should all be done in PowerShell with no 3rd party programs.This is what I’ve done so far:Typed in the below on a command prompt in Windows   curl -v -u myapi:X -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X GET "https://mydomain.freshservice.com/api/v2/tickets/randomticketnumber"Grabbed the “ Authorization: Basic” value that came up in the output. I used this because for some reason, Postman doesn’t seem to work with the API key even if I set the value to X. Grabbed

Hello, I am having issues with the Whatsapp Business Integration. I succesfully integrated a Whatsapp Business number with Freshsales. Messages arrive in the Freshsales Chat section but Freshsales does not provide the second “tick” / checkmark to the sender. Therefore to the sender it looks like the messages was only sent but never delivered. From a customer perspective this is bad. I am trying to find some kind of work-around. I tried having Whatsapp Business on the phone as well so I could just click through the messages there quickly so the sender receives the second tick. However it seems I cannot install the number that is used in Freshsales at the same time on the phone.Any advise on how I could handle this?

Suppose I want to create a KB article ahead of time, for a feature or tool that will be released in the coming weeks. Or I want to edit an existing article with the updates to an existing feature (phased release, for example).I know that it’s possible to save it as a draft and then manually publish it on the appropriate date, but is it possible to manually set the publish date on an article, so that the update is automatically published? Conversely, is it possible to pre-date the article create date or update date?

What’s the syntax to add multiple tags to a ticket? I’m working in powershell and my script works as expected, I’m just not able to add multiple tags.These don’t work:$body.Add('tags','Onboard/Offboard',’onboarding’)$body.Add('tags',['Onboard/Offboard',’onboarding’])$body.Add('tags','["Onboard/Offboard","onboarding"]') Not sure how to do this.  

We have certain processes that require multiple departments to complete different tasks related to the same process. Ideally, we would like to fill out one service request that results in separate tickets assigned to different groups.  We have tried the "additional items" option to create a bundle request, but on the child ticket, you can't see all of the fields of information that was inputted into the parent ticket, and we don't won't to define the same fields for the child request, because then you have to fill out the same information multiple times when filling in the service request.   Even if we wanted the owner of the child ticket to look at the details in the parent ticket, it isn’t always possible because sometimes they don’t have access to the group the parent ticket is assigned to. The enhancement request below is 5 years old, does speak to some of this, but thus far, there doesn’t seem to be an automated way of having the parent details copy into the child tickets.  (There
