Ticket & Workflow Management

We want to have guest access for specific tools to be ordered via Service Request. Currently I have not found an easy way of adding large quantities of text fields dynamically to a Service Request. I imagine this must be a use case for some of you.. how to achieve this?? I don’t want to display the maximum available text fields already in the beginning and also want to have certain fields mandatory for each guest.

Hi all, I'm working on integrating FreshService ITSM with Microsoft Sentinel using Logic Apps, but I've encountered an issue. When I attempt to run the integration, the workflow doesn't execute successfully. FreshService API has a custom field called it_vertical, and when I try to add this field to the request, I receive the following error message: { "description": "Validation failed", "errors": [ { "field": "it_vertical", "message": "Unexpected/invalid field in request", "code": "invalid_field" } ] } I’ve tried multiple times, even changing the field name, but I’m still getting the same error. Has anyone faced a similar issue or can provide guidance on how to resolve this? Any help would be much appreciated!

We have agents who forward in their client’s emails to open an incident. We have found that even though an internal agent is sending the email, if their client’s email address (in the form of the email header) is included in the forward, FreshService uses that email to determine the requester, NOT our internal agent. Is there any way, aside from deleting the email header from the forward, to stop this from happening and make the internal agent the requester?

Hello All, Up until today for the past 18+ months, when an agent manually creates a ticket, they have not received the “Assigned Ticket” email notification. In rolling out Fresh Service, I recall setting up somewhere that if the acting agent is creating a ticket, they would not receive the “Assigned Agent” email. This is because 1) we have a rule to auto assign tickets to the agent creating the ticket, 2) they should know the ticket is assigned to them as they are working on it, 3) reduce unnecessary emails. If I create a ticket and close it, I have zero need to receive an email that the ticket is assigned to me; I know it is assigned to me. I remember setting this up, but I spent today trying to figure it out before contacting support; they told me that this is not possible. I can either turn off notifications for new tickets entirely or keep it as is. They suggested to turn off “New Ticket Email Notifications”, but that just prevents the user from seeing we created a ticket. Has anyo

when an incident is opened, i am receiving 2 emails that are exactly the same at the same time. I am in a regular Agent group and an Escalated group. Could it because i am in 2 groups?

One of our service catalog items seems to have disappeared from the Freshservice app. When I log into the app, I can see the form however other users cannot see it. I’ve checked the visibility of the service item and it’s set to visible to all requesters and agents. I’ve also checked some of the role permissions applied to these users and they match my permissions. I’ve checked also the URL they are using to log into the app and it’s the same as me. This only happened 2 days ago - was something updated in the app or is there something I’m missing?

Is there a way that when an agent applies a Canned Response to a reply/note, the Response Title could be used as a condition in a workflow automator?

We have “SOURCE” shown in our notification emails to agents for FYI purposes but the SOURCE field is showing as a number rather than the text as shown below. Is there a way to get SOURCE to show EMAIL instead of 1 as 1 equals EMAIL?

Hi All, First-time poster, long-term member here. I’m looking for some insights from the brains trust. I’m in the process of migrating a new business into our instance. However, the approval structure for this migration differs significantly from our historical efforts. We have approximately 1,800 different “clients,” each with various approvers responsible for them. I already have a dynamically changing list of approvers and clients, and that list is being used as a custom object within all Service Requests (SRs). My challenge is figuring out the best way to issue approval emails to the respective teams without creating a mind-boggling workflow full of conditional factors or requiring manual input of named approvers. Any suggestions or best practices would be greatly appreciated!

I would like to be able to see all tickets in a Resolved status that have Customer Responded in the State. This doesn’t seem to be possible from the existing filters. Ideally I want to see this as a widget on my dashboard rather than all resolved tickets with a customer responded automatically re-opening.

Hi,Is this possible in Freshservice?

Hi On some Service Request tickets we add a number of Tasks. Once the Tasks are created, I would like to send the requester a summary of all the tasks created in a reply in the ticket including details of task such as task number, assigned to etc. Can this be done using a Canned Response or a Scenario Automation? I would like to send the requester a summary of all tasks created rather than a message for each one. Thanks

We are starting to work with the employee onboarding process, in which our Human Resources department initiates the process, then the reporting manager is providing additional information and selecting the service request items from the built kit. The issue we are experiencing is we would like the service request items to reference the reporting manager as the requester, as opposed the HR member whom initiated the process. I’m trying to determine how this can be setup in workflow, or is there an option I’m overlooking in the onboarding setup.

Hi, so i created a new Status for Tasks, “Not Required” but i can't change the Closure Rule so that the Ticket can also be Resolved when the Status “Not Required” is set. Only if the Task Status is “closed”. I tried it with workflows, but there is no option to Automatically close the Task based on Status. Kind regards, Kevin

After setting up Work Schedules for my users, I expected ticket auto assignment to only assign tickets to agents based on their availability in their work schedule but it does not seem to be working. The configurations I made were: Create Business hours for the Agent Group (8a - 8p EST) Create Business hours for each shift (Early Shift 8a - 5p EST & Late Shift 11a - 8P) Created Agent Group with business hours set to the Agent Group hours, turned on Auto-assignment and added users. Created Work Schedules for each shift with their business hours set to their appropriate business hours. Added the appropriate agents to each Work Schedule. The result is that all agents in the Agent Group still get assigned all the time regardless of the Work Schedule they are associated to. Did I miss something in the configuration?

Hello, There is a similar topic posted by jhanna a year ago. Unfortunately the answer that was given doesn’t solve my issues. Let me explain my situation... I’ve created a service request with custom fields. I’d like to validate those fields before the service request is being sent and validated within the Workflow Automator. I’ve tried using the Business Rules functionality, but it doesn’t offer what I’m searching for. I’d like to check the entered string with such logic: LENGTH(string) > 3 and LENGTH(string) < 9 string may contain 0-9 and some special characters such as minus or underscore Is there a way to accomplish that in FreshService? Maybe by runing the Workflow Autmator before rising a ticket..? Thank you in advance Kind regards Peter

Hi All Is there a way of creating continuous reminders in tasks to the assignee until the task status is changed to complete, after the Due Date? Thanks

Hi all, anyone to help me figure this out? Have no issue at all creating tickets this way, but somehow, I’m unable to find what’s not working for a service request. The item 162 is in service catalogue, activate and accessible for all. Any quick clue would help me a lot! Thanks in advance! :)

Hi Team, I need help in below requirement: How i can configure the workflow ? When agent updates the existing content on Solution description field with new content, the previous content is overwritten by the new content. The previous content should be captured in the details part of the ticket for agent reference (Captured as a note for reference and not triggered to RS as an email). In actions there is no direct placeholder for the capture previous content for solution description. Please help. Thanks JM

HI, These dates disappeared from my tickets. I can still see these fields in Tasks. Do you still have these fields in your environment?

As per the title, I’d like there to be a way to reposition the Approve and Reject Buttons In Approval Emails Currently these buttons will be positioned at the base of an Approval email: This isn’t so much of the problem if you use the Default templates but these generally lack context, forcing an end user to perform a few clicks to get to the Ticket/Change. Has anyone found a way to do this or shall I log an Idea?

Hi, we’re just starting to try to get automation working within FreshService change management. Two queries have emerged so far. For the email notification to CAB members, we want to remove the approve/reject buttons at the base of the email but still allow email approval by replying with the words approved/rejected etc. on the first line. If we uncheck the box for email approval on the notification the button disappears but we can’t then reply to approve/reject. So question is more about whether the underlying code can be customised. Reason is the buttons launch wrong mail client sometimes or wrong version of mail client on some machines. We have an approval workflow set to two CAB members with either able to approve, and this works OK. But for the rejection of changes by CAB, BOTH have to reject for the workflow to pick up the change being rejected and the workflow to kick in. If just one rejects, then the rejection gets logged into the change ticket but change stays at awaiting appr

I appreciate that a lot of assets have a fixed location; however as a company primarily using laptops, we’d like a way to auto assign the location of the laptop based on the Used By users location. We can easily identify the what is a laptop as far as workflow is concerned but cant come up with the webhook that would read the users location_id and put it in the asset’s location_id. Any ideas appreciated. Many thanks in advance

Hi Team, I’m new to freshworks. I need help to create Workflow for below requirement. Scenario: When Requesters with specific email addresses create an email ticket, the ticket should be assigned to a particular group, trigger email and autofill specific fields on ticket. Requirement 8: Create a workflow to assign email tickets to PLC BA group when ticket is created with the following email IDs : jyotimalhotra2816@gmail.com, jyotimalhotra283@gmail.com For these requesters, the default notification triggered during email creation should not be triggered. A new notification should be triggered to the two requesters from the workflow with following content : "Dear Requester. Your ticket reference no for PLC BA is ticket iD Subject: Created Date: Your request will be processed & confirmed, within the CG working hours of 9.30 AM- 6.30 PM Monday - Friday. Thanks & Regards, PLC Helpdesk" C-sat should be set as NA for tickets assigned to this group. Thanks JM

Hopefully someone can help me. I would like to create a ticket worfklow automator that does the following: - Automatically creates a ticket every morning- This should contain a note with the URLs of all created tickets from a specific requester in a specific time frame Now I have been looking and I think I need to work with a webhook trigger? Is this correct and if so can someone send me an example payload / workflow? Because I'm new with using webhook triggers.
