Using Freshdesk

HiI’m a Freshdesk ‘newbie’. We are using the platform as a helpdesk to manage some contract creation with our various clients. It’s useful to keep the audit trail of all the dialogue, search for past work etc. My question is actually simple. I have set up freshdesk to send notification emails to my preferred email address. I would prefer to manage the ticket dialogue with the customer via email, rather than login to the web URL.Is there a way that I can have a two-way dialogue via email (outlook) and the emails all drop into the ticket audit trail?If not, does Freshdesk have a desktop app that I can use to manage the tickets, rather than login to the web url?ThanksMark

I know that merge tickets close out the secondary tickets and attaches to the primary ticket but do the users who submitted the secondary tickets still get replies if i reply to the primary ticket? Does associated tickets do the same? Do the associated tickets get the reply if you reply to the primary parent ticket?

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.

Hi,I'm trying to automate tag management: when a ticket is updated, I look at the value of specific fields to change the ticket tags.It works fine to add tags, but not to update them. My use case:In a given dropdown field, each value has an associated tag. I have three fields, and when the agent changes the value of any of the fields, the automation should change the tags too.By using a PUT request to update the ticket, it works if there's only one tag (one field with a selected value). If there are two tags, instead of updating the tags list, all new tags are appended to the list. Illustrating:old tags = [‘field1_tag1’,’field2_tag1’]new tags = [‘field1_tag1’,’field2_tag2’] → this should be the ticket new tags valueupdated tags = [‘field1_tag1’,’field2_tag1’,’field2_tag2’] → this is what shows in the ticket I'd like to know if that is by design or if I'm missing some information? Thanks in advance for any help.

Has anyone had success with reminding requesters to reply to tickets? For example, agent replies, if hours since agent replied is 9 and status is awaiting response, send email to requester.I found this post from several years ago, but I’m trying to avoid adding checkboxes to our ticket forms just for this purpose. I’ve implemented the below but it just fires an email every hour on the hour once the top condition is met; apparently disregarding the second condition (listed below).  As a bonus, we’d like to only send the email during business hours. First attempt conditions (all):Status is awaiting response Business hours since agent replied is greater than 8 Business hours since agent replied is less than 9Result: User receives email every hour after 8 hours regardless of calendar hour

Hello everyone,As you can see in the picture, we have toggled off the User Activation Email in Freshdesk>>Admin>>Email notifications>>Requester NotificationsBut each new contact will be still Unverified. How can I solve this problem? 

We have tried to add dependent fields to our ticket form, but they will not drop down when you go to submit a ticket in the portal. Does anyone have any solutions or similar problems?

Hi! My company has a portal for Solutions (articles) and another for Support (tickets). I would like to have a place to present videos and other information for new customers to explain them how account configuration works and guide them. Should I create a new portal or a custom section in the theme (we have a custom theme with Breezy)? I’m not sure what is possible.

Hi,We want to connect some of the emails that are sent from our platform to the Freshdesk threads using `Message-ID` header. The problem is when we put Freshdesk inbox email to reply-to address, the email doesn’t appear in Freshdesk at all. Here is an example of the flowWe send an email to the client from Freshdesk similar to below From: freshdesk-support@company.comTo: client@email.comCc: platform@subdomain.company.comSubject: Some subjectBody: Email messageThen, our platform parses the email and stores the Message-ID headers and send the following email From: platform@subdomain.company.comTo: client@email.comCc: freshdesk-support@company.comReply-To: freshdesk-support@company.comIn-Reply-To: Initial message IDReferences: Initial message IDSubject: Reminder for some subjectBody: Another email messageand this email reaches to client but doesn’t reach to Freshdesk. When we remove “Reply-To” everything works fine.What could be the reason of this issue and how we can solve it?I’d apprecia

I spent 15 mins with Support today trying to create Business Hours for New Years day. Since it is in 2025 it’s not possible.Ludicrous!

Hi everyone,I’ve recently been exploring how Freshdesk’s custom blocks and layout flexibility can be leveraged for industries outside of tech — specifically for small, local food brands that want to create a customer-friendly help center or FAQ portal.For example, I was helping organize content for a Filipino food brand that offers traditional dishes like The Original Pancit Malabon, and I realized how effective Freshdesk’s structure can be for showcasing product details, answering common customer questions (e.g., about ingredients or delivery), and building brand trust.In these cases, clarity and cultural identity are key — and customizable hero sections, video blocks, and quick-link menus really help users navigate without feeling overwhelmed.Would love to hear how others are using Freshdesk to support businesses in unique industries like food & beverage. Any tips for improving visual layout without compromising on speed?Thanks!
