Ticketing & Agent Productivity

Every time we reply to a ticket the default text it enters is Hi <Firstname> <Lastname> Is there a way to change this to just the firstname?  Every agent we have the first thing they do is have to edit the first line. 

Is there any way of removing the Customer responded state when all the cust has said is "thanks" etc?I find I have to keep clicking on a case to check if they need to be replied to.Our issue is with things that some groups (such as Developers) will keep in pending status (potentially for quite a long time) and which Support would keep an eye on in case the customer replies and needs a response.At the moment, a "thanks" email will flag it as Customer Responded forever, meaning we have no way to know if a subsequent, more substantive response has arrived without clicking into the case.I have seen Thank You Detector - however it looks to only deal with closed or resolved cases, which we would have no issue with as we can just close or resolve those again.

Logging incidents on the self service portal via templatesIn previous tools we set up preset templates so colleagues could log incidents quicker, off the back of that we then created work flows so incident tickets could land with different departments based on template, this was handy because in some cases not every ticket for example “Outlook” or “laptop” would land with the same team. I know workflows are possible in Fresh service but i am wondering what other companies are doing now to control workflows of incidents, what are you doing to automate tickets as they land via the self service portal. 

Hi everyone,Currently, the majority of our contacts are associated with a company.We use a custom text field on the Company object called “VAT Number”, which is unique and works well to identify companies.Here’s what I’m seeing so far: I can successfully search for a company using the custom field VAT Number However, when I search for the same VAT Number in the Contact search, no results are returned Question:Is there a way to configure the contact search bar (on ticket creation) so that entering a company’s VAT Number will return all contacts associated with that company?Target functionality:When someone calls in: The agent asks for the VAT Number and the caller’s name The agent searches using

I have some tickets, that have been created internal and marked as a bug status. The problem is we do not respond to this ticket, which then triggers the “FIRST RESPONSE DUE” status. I have tried sending a response but this still isn't cleared.Any help is appreciated  

Due to security requirements, users have started sending digitally signed emails. But in freshdesk we just see “not given” and smime.p7m attachement is visible.Please support decoding or displaying the content of S/MIME encrypted attachments.  

When we use the Snipping Tool to get a screenshot to send to the customer for reference the customer can not see the image.  Any image we copy and paste in the Reply or a Forward is not displayed in the email for the recipient. This seems to have just started because we have been doing it this way with Freshdesk for over 10 years.

On my Freshdesk (as agent) I have displayed on the top “Switch to the new Freshdesk UI for a cleaner, more delightful experience. The classic UI retires on Mar 30, 2026.” Here are my questions :I’m not sure if the “table view” for tickets and the different ticket views (shared and local) are maintained in the new UI. With the Preview button, it’s not clear for me. Is it obligatory to upgrade ? What happens after Mar 30, 2026 when I do not proceed the upgrade Is a Rollback possible after the ugrade (one-shot) ? What preferences do I loose after upgrade Does the customer UI change also or not ?Best regards,Holger 

I have a regular need to create a parent child relationship between two existing tickets but can’t find any way to do this. Does anyone have a solution that would make this possible?

On the dashboard (tickets) where you can view as a table or card, in the table view it would be great to have the ‘Modified Date’ so a user can see exactly when the last update was made. (You can sort by Last Modified’ but having that date would be awesome and helpful. Right now, you need to click into the ticket to see this. The table view only has ‘Created Date’ (Card view in the body of the information displays Created Date but again Modified Date or Last Modified Date would be so helpful. This shouldn’t be a large effort as you already have the info. Just need to display it.

I’m hoping there is a way to create a single ticket view that has multiple filter combinations.For instance,We’ve got a number of Agents I’d like to see all tickets that I’m an agent for that aren’t closed or resolved, but also see any tickets regardless of agent if they are in an open state.So (Me and not closed, resolved) and (not me and open)

Goodmorning, All of a sudden the keyboard shortcuts won't work anymore.If you switch it off and on again and refresh the page it works once after that no response.Has anything changed with the keyboard shortcuts?

I am helping a client with their FreshDesk system that was set up by their previous web agency. The client has a few different support request forms with some custom ticket fields specific to each ticket form. On their 3 main forms, instead of using the default description field, they created a few customer multi-line fields to ask for more specific information, and to accommodate more than one field for customers to use. The problem is this makes it very difficult for the support agents. All of the most important information provided by the customer is in the Properties widget section, which is quite small and difficult to access. I also noticed that the default "Description" multi-line field not only displays the the content in the Ticket body section, but also provides a rich-text editor, vs plain-text for any of the custom multi-line fields. I've reviewed this page for reference: https://support.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/37588-understand-the-ticket-details-v

Hi Team, I am getting multiple reponses as "Undelivered: Ticket Received" on my freshdesk a account for a client. Pls help to resolve. Thanks,Mansi ​@Daniel Söderlund ​@Nav_in ​@mbutler ​@Joshua.Lawrence ​@nick_marko 

A user added a “Public Note” with a code block that is almost 16,500 rows, and the only way to see notes/emails below it is to manually scroll through the entire 16,500 rows, because Page Down and End keys don’t work, there is no scrollbar to drag, and I see no way to collapse the note. I tried “Split Ticket,” but it didn’t remove this note from the ticket - only copied it to a new ticket. Is there another way to deal with a note like this so that someone can easily see older emails in the ticket? Thank you!

Hello All,I created one ticket in Fresh desk by using template and then i reply to my customer from the ticket which i have created in freshdesk.Now my customer using their ticketing system and he replied to me by adding their ticketing number in subject line they why new tickets are getting generated ? 

I was having weird effects with seemingly random keyboard shortcuts being activated. After weeks of aggro I finally happened to look at the list of shortcuts and realized why - they use a combination of normal letters without an interrupt key. No ALT or CTRL. So being a fast typist kicks off a shortcut any time I type a ‘g’ and then another letter after it. This particularly happens when typing a reply to a customer and I often lose a bunch of what I had typed. Blecch. My only workaround for this is to disable the shortcuts entirely.It would be really nice to be able to use some shortcuts. Could they be changed to properly use an interrupt key? Or be modifiable by user?

Sometimes when I type in the ticket response, random letters insert random words. It doesn’t happen all the time, and closing the freshdesk tab and reopening it makes it go away… for a little while. I’ve tried turning off extensions, different browsers, etc.. It’s driving me crazy

I go about my day answering tickets and after a few, I run into a bizarre problem. When I type, random words replace the letters I am typing. The words are completely random and don’t have anything to do with anything I’ve previously typed. Even the backspace key triggers a word. It only happens in the Freshdesk window. If I close the tab and reopen, the problem goes away… for a while. I’ve tried disabling extensions, different browsers. I just can’t figure it out.

I’ve an ask. I want system to create a new ticket when customer responds on closed or resolved ticket after 15days. This is an urgent ask

This seems like a simple issue that must have been addressed somewhere. Please let m know if it has.When we upload an image to a ticket on the app from an iPhone, it is saved as “HEIC” format. If you try to open that uploaded image in the ticket on an iPhone, it jumps to a browser, asks you to download the image and then doesn’t do anything. Are there any “hacks” out there?  Thanks in advance!

Hi Guys, please i need help with creating a new ticket if a requester responds to a closed ticket. Is there anyways this is possible or has someone done this before?

When a user created a ticket, our agent converts into a topic. And we have adapted a behaviour to post the agent reply in the forum topic. However, we cannot find any user reply to the ticket as a comment on the forum topic.Is there a way to convert the user’s ticket reply as the forum comment? Else, the forum topic conversation looks very absurd when you have the user’s ticket topic and description on the top and all the comments are by the agents with no relation on what the user is asking about.

We have setup a supervisor rule to send out email to requester stating we are waiting for a response - We have found that sometimes that rule does not apply and send emails hourly instead of how configured in screenshot.  The issue we have is that it is not doing that on all tickets that meet the conditions.  Any ideas would be great.  The screenshot does have some details such as which day email is being sent at which stage, but I hope you get where I am going
