Using Freshchat

Our company is trialling the Freddy Bot and has a concern that continual responses are sent to the same companies over and over again relating to the same issues.These responses are often wrong or not required. We have regular email contact with external couriers and suppliers and rather than have the BOT respond would rather these particular email addresses are removed from the automatic BOT responses.For some of our affiliates this has also created issues on their end as this then creates additional tickets in their own CRM.Example our supplier emails us to say they have cancelled an order and the BOT advises them on our cancellation policy.  This happens everytime they cancel an order.When consulting Freshdesk, they responded that we could exlude ONE email address only.I want to address your concerns regarding our bot's automated replies. Currently, it is not possible to limit the bot's sending of automated responses to multiple email addresses. We have implemented a feature that al

Hello everyone, I'd like my Freshchat chatbot to be able to search my Fresh desk knowledge base for answers in natural language. It currently only finds answers from my FAQ.Would you have a solution for me? Thanks a lot!

Hello,I am writing with a little bit more technical question. Is it possible to always open embedded chat on the website? I was not able to find these options in the setting.I would like to add the chatbot on the specific FAQ page, but not as a clickable widget, but into the specific frame where the chatbot would automatically open (instead of FAQ form).Thank you for your time and help.Jan

Why is it that in every screenshot of a release note, we can see the contact’s profile picture showing up in the conversation tab, but the Freshchat support team told me that—even if I add a picture to my contact—it will never appear in the conversation tab? So, who’s wrong: the release note screenshots or the customer support team? 🤔  

Recently I tried using the Freshchat’s Flutter SDK on my project. Looking at the documentation; there is this method to load the topics (Conversations) by calling `Freshchat.showConversations();` but this loads a default UI. I want to have my own UI for this along with the conversation when a topic is tapped.I’m thinking of using the API to achieve this but still looking for simpler ways.Using API, I can load the topics/Channels but not sure how to load the messages from agent and requester once the topic(Channel) is tapped.

I am using 3 historical reportsconversation_agent_assigned which has interaction_id message_sent which has both and classic which has interaction_id my issue is the interaction_id in classic is like the interaction_raw_id in message_sentand my interaction_id in conversation_agent_assigned is like interaction_id in message sent but there is no link between conversation_agent_assigned and classicthere is through message_sent but i cannot rely soley on that if i want to get assignment and interaction data where there are no messages sent

Several months ago I was told by support that you will eventually be able to use your Contact Center number in Freshchat over SMS. Is there any info on when that will be available? SMS was an important part of my workflow before switching to Omnichannel and I would like to start using it again.

we are using freshchat widget and recently due to some change in validation logic for JWT was done by freshdesk due to which chat stopped working for us, we were getting below error.{ "success": false, "errorCode": 5, "errorMessage": "Invalid user create request"}We got to know about it from a manual reports, therefore now we want to add error alerting. i was hopping freshchat widget would be emitting some event which i can handle like window.fcWidget.on("error", ()=> {})but i am not able to find any such event or callback mechanism in documentation.Please share if you are aware of any way to achieve this

Because it’s 2025, our customers and hundreds of millions of other businesses’ customers now expect to text and call a business at their same phone number. How do we configure Freshchat SMS and Freshcaller to share one phone number? It’s just not reasonable in modern age to tell one of our customers to text us at a different phone number than the phone number they used to call us   Thank you, 

We would like to know if it's possible to get user geolocation for  whatsapp in a chatbot in order to used those coordinates in api to send it the nearest office location also as geolocation.

Hey there, fellow Freshchat users!I hope everyone is doing well. I wanted to reach out to see if any of you have come across a peculiar issue while using Freshchat's web-chat widget. We've been facing a problem where our agent's messages are not visible to customers. It's like our responses are disappearing into thin air!Here's what happens: Our agent types out a reply, but the customer responds with things like, "I can't see any writing" or "Hello, anyone there?". It's frustrating because it seems that the customers aren't receiving our messages at all.We reached out to the Freshchat support team, and they told us that no other users have reported this issue. But we're really curious to know if any of you have experienced something similar. Are we alone in this? 😿

What's SuprDaily?SuprDaily is a subscription-based delivery company for milk, daily essentials like bread and eggs, and groceries. It helps people to manage their grocery needs easily from their smartphones. Founded in 2015, the brand has grown rapidly to serve thousands of users. SuprDaily has since been acquired by Swiggy (India’s largest food delivery service provider) and currently operates in 6 cities. What issues did they face? As the user base and demand for SuprDaily’s service grew 10x from a modest 5000 - 7000 deliveries daily, it became more and more impractical to support customers without a robust system in place. Customers could reach out to support via WhatsApp and a helpline number.How did Freshchat and bots solve these issues for them?SuprDaily’s support team has rapidly scaled from using a single agent WhatsApp interface to a 50+ agent team on Freshchat, managing a major chunk of the overall support volume across channels.Today, in lockdown, one of the ways that Supr m

According to the documentation (https://developers.freshchat.com/web-sdk/v2/#messenger-api) we can destroy the Freshchat via `window.fcWidget.destroy()` call.But how to re-initialize the Freshchat again?It doesn't work via `window.fcWidget.init()`

in order to set the language of freshchat during initialization, it is enough to specify<script> window.fcWidgetMessengerConfig = { locale: "fr" } </script>The documentation (https://developers.freshchat.com/web-sdk/v2/#multi-lang) says that in order to change the language dynamically, you should callwindow.fcWidget.user.setLocale('en')But when I do this, nothing happens. In the browser console, you can see that the function is called, but the chat does not change the language.How to change the language correctly?

Hey everyone, hope everyone in the community is well!I’m a new customer to Freshworks, FreshDesk and FreshChat so I’m learning my around each of the systems stage-by-stage.I do have a question in regards to the Custom CSS Editor, within the Web Chat settings (Within the Freshchat product)I have already inspected various classes, and applied those styles in to the CSS Editor, and used the !important flag as a way to overrule specific styles, but I am a little confused, to whether the preview of the chat embed (I’m referring to the preview panel of the chat window) should be updating in real-time as I’m applying my Custom CSS updates?As it seems no matter which custom styles I am implementing, nothing seems to be updating in terms of the style of the chat within the preview panel.Am I missing a trick somewhere? Ideally, I’m wanting to change the ‘div.body’ background colour through targeting that specific class.Does anyone have any pointers on how to achieve this? I have searched around

Hi everyone,I’ve been working with the Freshworks chatbot self-service widget on my site, and I’ve encountered a bit of a roadblock regarding Content Security Policy (CSP) configuration.To provide some context: we recently decided to move from a third-party service to Freshworks’ native chatbot platform. However, after setting up the widget, users have reported that the chatbot isn't loading properly on certain pages, especially when accessed through specific networks. After some investigation, I suspect this might be due to CSP settings that need to be adjusted.I’m looking for some guidance on how to ensure that the required URLs are properly allowlisted. If anyone has dealt with this issue or has detailed steps on checking and updating CSP configurations for the widget, I would greatly appreciate your input.Here’s what I’ve tried so far:Checking if CSP is enabled through the console. Attempted adding the suggested URLs to our policy, but the issue persists.Additionally, here’s a link
