Email sending for Onboarding Requests

Hello EveryoneI've been working on a workflow designed to send out emails to a group of requesters whenever a new onboarding request is generated. However, I've encountered a bit of a snag. It seems that users within the group are receiving multiple emails, depending on the number of tickets associated with the onboarding process. I'm seeking advice on how to streamline this process and ensure that each user receives just one email per onboarding request. Any suggestions or insights would be greatly appreciated!I've attached a screenshot for reference. Best regardsLuca

Service Catalog Item with MultiSelect Field

I have been tasked with creating a service catalog item for GitHub, of which, our organizations have multiple GitHub organizations. So I created an item with a MultiSelect but upon my testing, it seems there’s not a way to get the Workflow to action off of each option selected. It will only action the first condition that is true. I reached out to Support to get some help with this:Support Agent: All these conditions will run one after the other vertically, when one fail, the next condition is checkedMe: Hmm that's not what I'm seeing in my testing.Me: Wait, it has to FAIL to go onto the next condition?Support Agent: Yes! If one condition passes, the workflow will not test the other conditions belowMe: Interesting. How do I force it to move onto the next condition?Support Agent: I am afraid we cannot force them. Only if the condition fails, the workflow will check the subsequent condition, we cannot jump conditionsSupport Agent: Please let me know if you have further queries or c

Send approval email to reporting manager of the requestd for user

Does anyone know how I can send the approval email to the reporting manager of the person added to the requested for field in a service request?Currently, if a requester creates a service request, let’s say for access to a mailbox, and they request it for themselves, then the approval email goes to their reporting manager. That’s fine. But if a user makes the same request but for another user the approval email will go to the requesters managers and not the requested for’s manager.We have a strict approval procedure where only a user’s director can approve requests for any access changes. For example, if a director requests access for one of his team to get access to something, we don’t want that approval email going to the directors reporting manager, the CEO. The approval would still need to be completed by the director. We have other examples where users might fill in on other teams, and users making requests on behalf of others.One way to solve this would be for the requester in th

I’m trying to create a workflow automation that will send out the approval emails but have run into this problemHas anyone found a work around to this problem? I’ve tried creating custom objects and reading them in the workflow automation but I’m not able to get the objects into the “To” field when setting up the approval email. Any guidance is greatly appreciated.

Freshservice Change Module workflow question

In the change module we have set up our change form to include a Canceled status. We’ve noticed that if a change is canceled after approvals have already been sent out, any approval waiting for a response continues to send the daily email reminder. We have been going into the Change form and manually cancelling any approvals still waiting on a response to fix this but I am looking for an automated way to cancel any open approvals if the Change request is set to canceled. Any ideas out there. I am not seeing a way but hope someone may know of a way.

Open child ticket when Parent Ticket Approval is completed

I need to open a child ticket once the parent ticket is approved. Or maybe just change the status of the child ticket to open (from awaiting approval) once the parent is approved. Scenario: we have some equipment in stock always and we pull from inventory and then order backfill. So for those items, I need a child ticket to open to order the backfill. I have the workflow to open the child ticket, but if the parent is in awaiting approval, i don’t want the backfill ordered in case the parent ticket is not approved. Make sense? Any ideas?

Freshservice to Freshservice

We use Freshservice in Managed Service account mode.We provide support for business to business customers and our helpdesk have been using Freshservice for many years now. One of our customers has recently purchased Freshservice to handle tickets from their own customer base, and they want to escalate these to us when the time is right.However, as we probably all know by now, there is an awful email looping created when two Freshservice systems talk to each other, between new ticket acknowledgements, and closure surveys. And I gather from support there is still nothing in the road map to cater for this at Freshservice.Has anyone else in the community encountered and worked around this issue?We still want to send closure emails to our other customers, and in fact this customer still needs to know when we have resolved/closed a ticket.I would welcome any suggestions!

College Student Interns

We have a student work student pool of 15 students that log no more than 3-5 hours a week during semester. I would like to have a generic student ticket agent that all 15 can be assigned and work tickets through. is this permissable in the EULA? Adding 15 agent licenses would more than double our expense for the app and all 15 would probably only do the volume of half of one of our regular agents. Curious if anyone else is in a similar situation and what strategies they may have found to stay on the right side of the EULA. I just took over this ticketing package so I did not have the opportunity to ask as part of a sales negotiation discussion.

How would I set up a Ticket workflow for when a Task workflow is completed?

Hello!Here’s the scenario - we have a task assigned to a group, and when the task is completed, it’s supposed to go over to a different group. Basically what’s actually happening is that once the task is completed, the workflow stops. Here’s what I need - what is the best workflow to use to assign a ticket to a group once the task has been completed? There’s not a condition for “when task is completed”, so I’ve tried ticket type, status, etc. to no avail. Help, please!

Changing Field Positions in the Properties section on Ticket Details Page

Does anyone know whether it’s possible to change the position of the fields displayed in properties on the ticket details page? Example….we’d like to move the Site(s) field (aka Location) towards the top of the list so at a glance you can see which office is requesting something.
