Solved

Hello,We are implementing Freshdesk as a means of communication between our users, and the IT Team.I would like to ask one question, and would like if you can answer me, please:we are willing to create accounts in Freshdesk only for Helpdesk users, and support agents. And provide an email channel to users, so they can create tickets. My question here is, can users interact with the web portal after creating the ticket by emailThank you in advance,

Im new to freshdeskWhen creating a new ticket and sending it to anything other than hotmail, or outlook, it works, but when i try to send it to them domains it doesnt. Ive tested with multiple tickets and not sending. Im on the Blossom package if that helps?Any help would really be appretiated! Thank you!

Reposting ticket here in hopes of actually getting a response and hopefully a solution: 

When I view the solution articles in Agent Mode it looks fine, but the formatting in Customer Portal is much skinnier (there is too much white space on either side of the article - see attached). Any tables I include in the article don’t fit properly. Is there any way to format solution articles so they use more of the available space on the screen? Do I need to be on a specific paid tier or use a custom theme?

Hello community, We are looking for to set one team to prospecting and then another to negociate and close deals.  The idea is to have to specialized teams, so in this case team A will be working with the prospect until it got qualified. Then another team will continue the process and will close the deal. Have someone set something like this in freshsales? We have not solve yet how to autoassign to team B, and where teams should be performing their tasks, but we have thought in a couple of alternatives:Team A will be working in Freshsales leads module until conversion and then the deal will be in hands of the team B. In that case how can we autoassign the deal to team B? Team A will be working in Freshsales leads module, then convert into a certain pipeline and then from certain stage team B start working. In that case, how can we autoassign the deal to team BIf you have something similar or ideas please share them with me. I’ll be happy to read you! Regards!Ignacio

While testing the functionality documented here: Is there way to add tickets automatically to the solutions or knowledge base?Any email sent to kbase@<yourcompanyname>.freshdesk.com from your agent email address would be created as a draft solution article inside your Freshdesk Account. You can choose to have this email address added as a bcc email if you'd like to have all tickets automatically added to the knowledge base or you can also manually forward the tickets to this email address, which would save them as solution article drafts.I found that tickets do correctly end up as drafts in the Solutions section --the Knowledge Base-- but there’s several issues which happen once you decide to edit them:Upon entering the edit view, the app won’t ever react to actions (publish, cancel, not even menu navigation). I checked the JS console and saw several nasty errors both on Firefox and Chrome. The right bar of “article properties” doesn’t show up. I suspect this is caused by the pre

Did you noted the Youtube video in KB Articles have low resolution?I see in my helpdesk all embed video are in low quality but if i open of youtube are perfect!  

I’ve created a Freshdesk rule that sends a reminder to the requester after 72 working hours if the status is Pending - it also sets the status to a custom one.I’d like to create a further rule which then sets the ticket to closed if a response is not received after another 72 working hours. However, the “hours since...” conditions don’t seem to include the custom statuses I’ve made.Am I doing this right or is there a better way of achieving this?

I have a problem with my automation rules.When a ticket is created from FRESHCHAT to FRESHDESK my rules are not being triggered.When a ticket is created from FRESHDESK itself, the rules are working normally.

Hi, is there any way to create an "internal" ticket that is not connected to an actual customer/contact but rather just a name? Every time we create a ticket, a "ticket created"-mail is sent to the customer. We would just like to create a ticket internally to work on, where no emails are sent to the customer. However at the same time, we also want to be able to create tickets where regular emails ARE sent to the customer, so they can follow the ticket. We want to use Freshdesk to replace "Microsoft Planner" which we are using today. We use Microsoft Planner to add 'tasks' (rather than 'tickets'). These tasks can be commented, edited etc. without sending any kind of notifications. We use this for the purpose of planning and following up with a customers case, so it's not forgotten. Any ideas on how we can accomplish what we have in Microsoft Planner, in Freshdesk instead? 

I wanted to display the articles based on tags, if the articles exceed some 100 numbers, then I will have to filter them based on the number of views,so that I can show only first 10 most viewed articles in my page.kindly, help me out.Thanks

Hi all,We have 30 groups of agents which handle tickets for their customers. Depending on the mail address (FROM) the mails should be routed into these groups. In total we have 2250 mailaddresses. On average that's 80 mailaddresses per group. The domain name of the mailaddress can be the same as a group is one location / establishment of a company.What would be the most efficient way to configure the above routing in Freshdesk?We were thinking of using automation rules, but the mailaddresses in these rules need to be entered one by one according to Freshdesk support. Anyone figure out a way to do this more efficient? Can an API be used to add the mailaddresses? Do we have some other way to route the mailaddresses into the right group so the agents can handle the mails?Regards,Nika.

I created a very simple rule to send the email that the ticket was resolved one hour after the ticket was resolved. Alas, it doesn’t send the email. What am I missing here? I disabled the email notification first. The reason we want to do that is that some of our customers have reported receiving the “resolved” email before the agent’s reply. So, we want to be sure they get the agent’s reply before we notify them of the ticket’s resolution.Here is the rule (i can see # of tickets impacted by it):If Status is ResolvedANDIf Hour Since Resolved is 1Send Email to RequesterPS I’m working in our sandbox at the moment.

Hi,       We have very complex objects and models that we need to create via custom modules, these modules and their data will need to interact with our existing systems, processes and end points. Is there a way to interact with custom modules via API or REST end points?

I would like to automaticall merge all  new tickets into 1 based on customer email. If he sends a new email or opens a new ticket,  it should be merged under his old ticket.

How can we get RTL Arabic to be formated in the Articles?Can we do anything to the CSS document?

I added a new ticket status called Waiting for Vendor.  I also added a field for agents called Vendor ticket number.  If we have to open a ticket with a vendor to help resolve the problem that was submitted in to us, we can change the status to waiting for vendor and if we have a ticket number we can key it in the vendor ticket number field. The only problem is that when the ticket is in this new custom status, it does not think its open anymore.  When your on the All Unresolved Tickets screen, the tickets in this status do not show.  Technically they are not resolved because we are still waiting for a vendor.  Some vendors can take a long time, weeks or months, and we could easily forget about these tickets if they are not in view.  Tickets in this status do not show up in My Open and Pending tickets either.How can we program custom ticket status fields to still signal to the system that its an open ticket?

Hello community We are testing out our CSAT survey and after answering the CSAT survey questionnaire in email we are getting redirected to a page which has “{"code":"internal_error","message":"We're sorry, but something went wrong."}”.  We went to the portal and tried to configure the “Thank you” page however I don’t see that as one of the listed portal pages nor does it give an option to create a new Thank you page.  Any suggestions? Thanks Arvin

hi there,When our customers open our Freshdesk website, they are faced with a website which is no longer working. Can we receive help on this asap?The website shows :{% if portal.has_solutions %}{% translate portal.knowledge_base %}{% for category in portal.solution_categories %} {% if category.folders_count > 0 %}{{ category.name | link_to: category.url }}{% for folder in category.folders %}{{ folder | link_to_folder_with_count }}{{ folder | article_list:5 }}{% else %} {{ portal | filler_for_solutions }} {% endfor %}{% endif %} {% endfor %}{% endif %} {% if portal.has_forums %}{% translate portal.community_forums %}{% if portal.topics_count > 0 %}{% translate portal.showing_recent_updates %}{{ portal | link_to_start_topic }}{% for category in portal.forum_categories %} {% if category.forums_count > 0 %}{{ category.name | link_to: category.url }}{% for forum in category.forums %}{{ forum | link_to_forum_with_count }}{{ forum | topic_list:3 }}{% endfor %}{% endif %} {% endfor %
