Solved

hey there guys -i’m a total FreskDesk noob - and i’m an intermediate CSS’er.I’ve changed up the header buttons to match a mock up that we’ve done, BUT it’s made other buttons go bad.Please see the screenshot and let me know if any of you have ever experienced this, and if so, how did you resolve it? Any insight and direction would be super helpful!!A bit of a time crunch on this one. it’s impacting the usability throughout the site.  

Hi, I have this odd scenario where one of our customer service agents consistently favors addressing newer tickets over older ones, and I’ve been racking my brain over how to force him to resolve older tickets first.This person is the son of the CEO, who I cannot get to care about this. Countless attempts to change this behavior have proven fruitless, so I’m looking for a way within Freshdesk that would force this outright.Is there any way to set up automation, or something else, that would make it impossible to resolve a newer ticket until an older ticket, or one with higher priority, has been resolved first? Am at my wit’s end. Thank you

Is there a maximum Field Length for Subject?

I’m curious if anyone has struggled with callers getting stuck in the wait queue, even though there are available agents. Here’s my situation:Call comes into IVR; callers presses 2 to talk to agent Rings to all available agents (2-4 logged in at a time) for :60. If agents are available but don’t answer (because they’re working on another ticket), go to Rollover Call Queue Play Wait Queue Message, append position to wait message Problem: The call only rings back to agents in a new call comes into the queue or if the agent moves into the “available” status.  If the agents finish their other ticket and can now take a call, they call may not ever ring to them again, meaning the caller is just stuck in the queue until the max time.  How do others handle this? Do you require your agents to stop working on calls and take the ticket? Do you separate duties so phone agents are never distracted by other tickets? Do you have agents flip their availability on and off to trigger the phone to ring

I am currently facing an issue getting Meraki Webhooks to connect to an alert management profile that I have created. I imported a sample JSON alert from Meraki so that I could map alert fields, and I am using the “Endpoint URL” and “Auth Header” fields from FreshService in the “URL” and “Shared Secret” fields respectively in the Meraki Dashboard: Meraki Webhook Entry FieldsI have tried: setting the shared secret to “auth-key XXX” that you get from clicking Copy from Auth Header, copying the entire Header including “Authorization: auth-key XXX”, and finally removing “Authorization: auth-key” and just using the long string that comes after. All attempts to test the webhook with the above testing tool fail. Leaving the profile in place does not seem to generate alerts, which I already receive via email so I know they should be coming in. I would appreciate any input or advice you have, and thanks for reading through!

I review Freshworks CRM. I have a question.In the personal settings of the email→ Other settings,There is a “reporting to”.What does this mean?Does this mean that reporting recipients can see my all email? 

We have moved from ServiceNow to Freshservice. One thing that used to happen in ServiceNow is when an agent is viewing a ticket it would automatically track time spent. You could also track time by adding it manually.I have looked at the Auto Timer app but it will track the time from one status to whatever status we select to stop the timer, not really when a user is viewing the ticket.Appreciate any input. 

Hi! I am wondering if it is possible to retrieve the total lifetime ticket count using the Freshdesk API! I have only found one method, and it includes doing a for loop with page as the iterator, but this seems very inefficient to me, and it always results in me sending too many requests and getting no data back. Is there a simpler way to do this that does not cause too many requests to be sent and not using a for loop? Kind regards, Guy

Dear All,How to create a ticket field which permits to cc another contact ? Also, does a dynamic placeholder exists to show all the contacts in cc of a ticket? Kind regards,

Hi there !Maybe I’ll find a solution here.So, here is my problem.I could you use the ‘requester has replied to the ticket’ to reopen the ticket but what I want is that user approve or deny the solution of the ticket, that’s why I’m using CSAT.CSAT is automatically with e-mail notification ‘Agent has resolved the ticket’Requester receive the e-mail : Does the proposed solution solve your problem?Yes, it’s ok (score 10)No, I’m still having the problem. I want this ticket to be reopened (Score -10) I made the automator below but it’s not working as expected.This automator is set to read the CSAT answer (negative CSAT score should reopen the ticket and war the agent)But it’s not working.Actually, I can’t see this event in the ticket activities.The ticket remains “solved”, that is not working. What am I doing wrong ? Svāgata :) 

I’ve noticed that for some tickets, polling the Freshdesk API for all conversations is missing some conversations that we can see in the UI.I’m hitting /api/v2/tickets/[id]/conversations as per the following documentation:https://developers.freshdesk.com/api/#list_all_ticket_notesIs there some extra flag I should be specifying in the API call? Is there some reason certain conversations are visible in the UI but not through the API that I don’t know about? Or is this a bug in the API? 

Hello, We have a integration project to send tickets from Freshservice to a supplier, that includes attached files if there are any.Have a hit wall when we tried to get the URLs for files that is attached to the latest comment(private). The URLs need to be in a string with a space or line break between them. I used the API Service Desk API for Developers | Freshservice (List All Conversations of a Ticket) to retrieve all conversations but I haven’t found a way to the get the latest conversation and the related attached files.  As I understand it the JSON parser adds all conversations attachments/values into one placeholder. Anyone has a solution/workaround to this ?  TIADaniel

I have connected the “Servicebot for Microsoft Teams” app in Freshservice and the “Servicebot” app in Microsoft Teams but when I go to create a ticket from a message (Right click on the message and click create new ticket) a window pops up and says “Unable to reach app. Please try again.”  I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the integrations multiple times. Any other suggestions on getting them to work? Thanks!  

Yesterday (3/2/2021) filters would automatically update the page when selected. For example if you add or take away an agent in the filter list this it would refresh the page.  You now have to press apply filters to update this change.   Was this a deliberate change?

Hi all,I am a newbie with Freshservice Orchestration!We have recently setup the Active Directory Orchestration, and I d’like to start with unlocking users account:In below image you may see the first steps:  Problem is that I do not uderstand how to het user detail:It seems that it needs one of  the below parameter, but what to input inside the name field, in order to get Distinguished name? I may even skip this step and proceed directly to “Is user account locked”, but same question: which string of code I have to use?   Thanks to anyone willing to share his experience!

HIhaving issues with merging and what client can see verse internal agents can see on the ticket.Sometimes we get a response to an existing ticket but freshdesk creates a new ticket. I thought merging would be an easy way to fix that - but seems I am wrong.It seems the ticket that was merged is no longer visible to the customer (its only marked as closed as far as customer can see in their portal – not even that it was merged)But further the customer loses any visibility on that response that was in the ticket I merged into (as they can not see the merged ticket data it in the destination ticket as the system added it as a private note). Of course the agent can see it but its totally missing from the client view.I spoke to support and their feedback was However, the order of conversations is added in a chronological order and would appear the same way for the customer.My issue is it doesn’t, as that merged information is unavailable for the customer to see (in the destination ticket), 

We have deactivated agents but every agent we have ever had is still showing in the Agent drop-down on tickets. This is bothersome, we need to scroll to find the right agent every time. We only have 3 current agents and 7 deactivated. I can’t find a switch to hide them

I have several actions that are performed on a ticket from inside an app via api calls. this has lead to issues where the user has overridden data that has been set by the app because they either failed to reload the ticket or did not see the “Updates” icon Is there any way to refresh the ticket page when the user is finished in the app? current they finish by clicking a button in a model

We are looking for a new request ticket platform and love Freshdesk but the inability to create more dynamic ticket fields is a deal breaker for us. I want to make sure I’m not missing anything.I want the user to choose a Request type - Marketing, Systems, or People. This I can accomplish by adding a section to the Type Field. (This seems to Max out at 3 which may be an issue in the future). Once they Choose Marketing Then they would choose a request category (ie, Graphic design, Signage needed, social media post). Then based on the request category it would display a bunch of ending questions to get the details for that request. So if they choose Signage Needed then it would ask due date, dimensions, photo of the location, material etc. I am not finding a way to get past just that 2nd level of logic so before I scrap the idea of using Freshdesk I just want to make sure I’m not missing something and this is possible.Thanks in advance for any input!

Hi I’m having some formatting issues with creating users in Azure with the app action. I’m using place holders from one of our service requests so that ‘display name’ field is:{{firstname}} {{lastname}}When entered like this, it adds a line break into Azure so it looks like this in the system:{{firstname}}{{lastname}} I tried removing the space but of course it shows up with the first name and last name all together. I also tried using the encoded space:{{firstname}}%20{{lastname}} This way does not work either. Any ideas?
