Solved

I’ve been using Freshdesk now for 18 months and it’s great. We’re really seeing the benefits and starting to onboard more clients and products.  However, with expanding this is now throwing up some problems as the products differ.  For example I have two products, Product 1 where I want customers to sign up to the portal and have multiple interactions. Product 2, I want the customer to share information one a singular transaction and nothing more.  The problem stems from the activation email, it will email both customers after 5 minutes and invite them to sign up.Product 1 has a need for this activation email, Product 2 does not and this creates confusion. If we could skip activation email via the automations (like we skip notification email) this will help solve my problem. 

We have 2 different departments using freshdesk. We do this by making them 2 different groups, each with a different email address to create the tickets.  Staff in each group only see their own, and a few staff who are in both see both, it is super handy and we love it!Unfortunately, we can only set one requestor notification for our account.Is the recommendation to simply use Automations and make one that gets triggered when one group gets an email, and make a different one when another group gets an email?

Hi, we recently have a joint customer account in FreshDesk who now want to go their separate ways. Even though the mobile number has been deleted from the contact to create a new account for the other customer, any calls and text are still creating and logging under the previous joint account. We’re aware we can completely delete the contacts to start from scratch but we don’t want to loose previous tickets/communications with the customers. Is there a possibility to have a function allowing us to unmerge customers or tickets please?

Good morning,I’m curious if anyone has any insight...  I work for a small school district and about 11 years ago I signed up to Freshdesk’s Sprout plan.  It was, at the time, 3 agents free “for life.”  Which, thanks to the Wayback machine…Source: https://web.archive.org/web/20130811230239/http://freshdesk.com/pricing/free-support-software Turns out, that fit the bill for me and my two colleagues and, 11 years later, we remain three and continue to use and love Freshdesk to support our teachers. I received an email yesterday stating that “Effective November 15, 2024, we will reduce the number of agent licenses included in the Freshdesk Free Plan from ten to two.”  I’m assuming I’m getting this email because I’m technically on the free plan, but when I check my dashboard, it still shows that I’m on a “classic” plan with only three seats available to me, not ten. My question is, does this apply to us?    We never had 10 available agents, it’s always been three “forever.”  I know companies

Has anyone else hit the 400 maximum number of public/private notes on a ticket?I have seen the odd long running issue hit 1000 once, but this week an agent hit an issue trying to add a note and FD support have advised that it’s been capped and the workaround is create a new ticket.Nothing in the last few release notes that I can find

Hello!Is it possible to sort tickets by contacts, e.g. using the provided name or email address of the contact?Or alternatively to have an overview of the number of tickets / tickets when viewing all contacts.We usually have several tickets from the same contact and overviewing them or sorting through them would be easier if we could sort tickets based on contact info.Greetings!

Is it possible to allow some users to create a custom module record and change a field while creating the record but not edit the field value later when editing the custom module record? (even if they own it).  Here is an example:We have a custom module record “Training” with a field cf_contact.  When a sales owner creates the record, they should be able to set cf_contact.   But if they sales owner then edits the record, they can no longer change cf_contact.I see under Admin Settings > Roles > Manage Roles > Sales user > Permissions that I can allow sales user to create but not edit the record.  But this applies to all fields in the record.  Can I make it so that the Sales user can edit other fields but not the cf_contact?It seems from the “Field Permissions” that if I make the field read-only the Sales user can’t  set the field when creating the record. And there does not seem to be other options.

I would like to know if there a way to have an alert tool and if that tool gives a warning it will automatically create a ticket on that specific warning to alert the personnel in Freshdesk or Freshservice is it possible to do?

Hi…we’re looking to use Freshdesk as a Contract Development workflow,  and I was wondering if it was possible to have multiple levels…currently  we have 7 or so agents on the Growth Plan, and I was wondering if it might be possible  to add 3 agents to a Pro plan.   Reason for this scenario, is we’d like to have the ability to have “Parent - child tickets”  which I see are only available on Pro as well as Article Versioning.   I was thinking we’d establish “groups”.  1 for our current IT helpdesk group and 1 for the Contract group.  Or is it more practical to have two completely separate sites, with different plan levels?  Any insight you have on this would be helpful.  Do you have any clients that are using Freshdesk in this way?   

is there any way to create a workflow that checks if all tasks on a service request are closed and if so, close the ticket?

Hi, This is what I am trying to do. Sometimes, some tickets we receive are for another service who doesn’t need to use Freshdesk. I would like to be able to :close the tickets (actually, use a « forwarded » status I created) change the group (so that the other service can have a notification in their Slack canal) forward the ticket to their generic mail addressWith the scenario feature, I was able to change the status and the group but I don’t find how I can transfer the email automatically. Is this possible ? Should I use another functionnality ?

Hello!Please, I would like to hide certain custom fields in contacts, to certain agents. Maybe an app that allows me to perform this action, or how it can be done with roles, if they give me the configuration.I appreciate your help.

I’m having a problem submitting tickets on our site - raleighschool.freshdesk.com. After submitting a ticket, I get the error “We are sorry. You have been restricted from accessing this helpdesk page.” In looking at other tickets other customers have posted, it looks like Freshdesk support needs to do something to fix it. Can someone take a look? -Paul 

Our publish and save buttons are regularly unavailable to click. We can’t save nor publish our changes, so we have to copy the code and refresh the page. Anyone else experiencing this?  

I've reduced my images' size, but they're still getting cut off on mobile. I can't shrink them further. Is there any code or workaround I could use to fix this?

Is there a way to order tickets alphabetically from Z-A rather than from A-Z? We currently have manually sorted tickets which have titles with versions at the end (like "XXXX 1.2.3" where XXXX never changes) but want to switch to alphabetical ordering so the highest numbered versions show at the top.  Is there a way of doing that?

Hi I have a case where some employees can handle both NJ and NY tickets (the state is a field on the ticket level) and other employees can only handle NJ tickets. How can I ensure that there is an even load of ticket assignment between all my employees - meaning that the NJ only employees get more NJ tickets assigned to them because they aren't being assigned any NY tickets?  Any insight would be helpful. Thanks

Hi there, once a ticket's status is no longer on 'open' (SLA timer off), you can't see the resolution date.So meaning if I put it on pending (SLA timer off) and a few days passed, it might be overdue, but I can't see it.You have to open the ticket again to see and change the resolution date.Is there a way to see and change it while the ticket is NOT on the 'open' status?

Hi! I know how to create new scenarios; I want to know if you can use existing scenarios to create brand new tickets from scratch.

Hi,  Can some share a design for support ticketing system he created ? We have 4 different saleforce team I need a design how to handle workflow for the different teams Thanks

For the last week my team has noticed performance issues with refresh rate of updates to ticket list view. Once a ticket has been updated to resolved or closed status when returning to the list view the ticket remains in the view with greyed out font showing closed status until we manually refresh the browser page. In the past this has not been the case. When returning to list view previously the updated ticket would no longer be visible in the view immediately. Is this a systemic cache issue that can be resolved by support or a browser setting that may have changed recently? This can cause issue with common views used by several agents.

Hi everyone,We’re using Freshdesk along with WhatsApp and are looking for a way to set up an automatic reply when messages come in outside of our business hours.I’ve tried using the API endpoint /api/v2/tickets/[id]/reply, but unfortunately, it’s not working as expected.Has anyone successfully implemented this or can share some tips on how to achieve it? Any help would be greatly appreciated!Thanks in advance! 😊

I’ve noticed new features in Freshdesk, particularly in the scenarios section. Two buttons suddenly appear there. Can you explain the difference between them? I have the role of an administrator. Is there any difference for me, or is the distinction more relevant for regular Helpdesk agents?
