Using Freshdesk

Hello.I’m wondering if there is any way to add a navigation menu to our knowledge base. When reading an article, the left pane shows “Related Articles” but if we wanted them to be read and followed in a specific order, it’d be much more helpful to have the entire Solution tree as something that can be made expandable. Sounds like basic functionality, but I can’t find how to make it work.Something like:Category A Folder 1 (expandable) Folder 2 (expandable) Folder 3 (expandable) Category B Folder 1 (expandable) Folder 2 (expandable) Category C Folder 1 (expandable) There wouldn’t be a need to always go back home. I know we can directly link from one article to another but that’s not what I’m looking for. Any help will be appreciated.Thank you.

Hi all If I am sending a new Mail via the “new email” button it creates a ticket. However if the customer replies to this newly sent email it creates a new ticket and doesnt show the reply in the original ticket where I created the message. I would expect the reply to be created as a thread with in the original mail ticket. What can I do to create the new reply in the old thread?Thanks and best regardsBen 

Hi,How can I retrieve data from Freshdesk via API for the date range from January 1, 2024 and for the specific group, to the current date?Thank you,Tin

Hello,I have a problem. I’m doing a redesign of the Freshdesk user portal based on the MINT theme. The old code to display tickets is as follows: “<section class="ticket-page">  <div class="container">    <div class="ticket-toolbar pull-right">      <a href="{{ portal.ticket_export_url }}" data-target="#export-modal"          id="ticket-export-button" rel="freshdialog" class="d-hide"          data-submit-label="{% translate portal.tickets.submit_export %}"          title="{% translate portal.tickets.export_ticket_data %}">        {% translate portal.tickets.export %}      </a>    </div>    <div id="ticket-filter-container">      {% snippet ticket_filters %}    </div>    {% snippet ticket_list %}  </div></section>” When I copy and paste in

as said in the title,The hook url that was generated for me was baseurl//event/hook/freshdesk for example.How do external events work then, is this hook tied to the space or to the each installation?will it fire 35 times if 35 agents use the app?

Idea:I propose adding a functionality to allow users to change the email address where webhook failure notifications are sent.Reasoning:Currently, webhook failure notifications are sent to the account holder's email by default. However, in many cases, the account holder is not actively involved in monitoring or managing technical issues. They often do not interact with our ticketing system, leaving webhook failures unnoticed or delayed in resolution.Solution:Introduce an option within the system settingsCustomize the notification email to a preferred address, such as a system administrator or IT team email. Ensure that these changes can be easily updated by authorized users.Benefits:Faster detection and resolution of webhook failures. Ensures notifications reach the correct technical person

Is there any way an agent can check the recent actions or possibility for them to search the tickets which are not assigned to them anymore but they added a note or handled the ticket in its life cycle?

Hello,We use Freshdesk server to send mails but we regularly get undelivery notification to some providers. DKIM and SPF are correctly set up, but recipient’s provider nevertheless rate our email as spam.Can somebody who already went through such issue share about how they fixed it?Thank you

Hi, When will it be possible for Freshdesk to automatically translate the articles from the knowledge base into different languages? There is already a tool that I find “Lingpad” which translates this into Freshdesk for a lot of money.

We want to modify Customer Portal in Freshdesk but when we try to bring the snippet ticket_list on Portal Home page, it gives Liquid error. Adding snippet new_ticket_form works.  Also, how do we customize the new_ticket_Form, we want to change the dropdowns to card view.

We have thousands of contacts setup who have never created a ticket with us.  In 2025 we’re launching our customer portal, and I only want to invite people who have previously logged a ticket, rather than all people who were migrated from our previous system.Is there a way to easily identify which contacts have never logged a ticket, and delete them?

We noticed we are unable to edit the TO field to add email addresses after clicking REPLY as needed when on emails. Leaving us with the only option of adding people on CC is not good enough for us.Using the FORWARD option requires one to start adding all email addresses on the trail manually which takes sometime to do in the case of when we have more than 10 people in copy and this might even lead to misspelling of email addresses. Efficiency will be improved if TO field is editable once we click on REPLY.

My clients often complain about the ridiculous older reCaptcha where you have to click on palm trees, crosswalks or stoplights.  Older people hate it as perhaps their sight isn’t great. I’m not that old and I hate it.How do we get a new version of reCaptcha on our support form?  One like this?  

FD is not user friendly in terms of contact and agent management . In compare to other tools , FD is not providing us to manage the contact , Even we can not download the filtered contact . Every time if you want to check your contacts , you need to download the all contacts . That will take 1-2 hr to generate the report , If you want to do bulk merging of contacts or bulk update of your agent data that is not possible on FD . We can not do analysis of agent or client.   

Hi, is there a way to completely control what related articles will show under/next to an article on the knowledge base?I want to have the ability to have complete control over this - and each article should have different “Related articles”

Once a ticket has been added to freshservice from freshdesk thread integration , then we are unable to merge two tickets in freshdesk with freshservice threads. Is there any solution for same 

Hi there,Please fix these two main problems:The text field, when creating a thread is way to small I can not create a thread without forwarding the ticket. Please implement the option to create a thread in the ticket to text other mail adresses without forwarding the ticket.

We currently house our knowledge articles in Google Docs.  Is there an integration with FreshDesk knowledge base.  We want to keep our articles in Google Docs, but would like to implement FreshDesk’s knowledge base.  

Hi, bit of a noob question but we have the standard portal at FreshService;https://companyname.freshservice.com/support/homeAfter a user logs a ticket and then activates their account they get redirected to log onto this portal. We also have a custom portal configured we were going to use for customers;https://ouraccountname.companyname/support/home My ‘test’ customer account can sign into either portal and get the same view of cards, open tickets etc.  So is there a way of making our custom portal ‘default’ for customers without them being redirected automatically to the standard portal if they click on a ticket link in an email. I’ve just clicked on a link for my test account to open a ticket and got directed tohttps://companyname.freshservice.com/support/tickets/54 th

I’ve recently taken on the project to re-vamp our current offboarding process and to explore our options with Freshservice. I found the out-of-the-box scheduled workflow for adding tasks on the day of separation, however it seems to be running a day early.To be more specific, I created a test offboard request yesterday for a user to offboard tomorrow, 4/21. However, the workflow did its check this morning, and processed the offboard as if it was scheduled for today, 4/20. The condition is set as “End Date is System.Current Date”, and I’ve confirmed that both the System.Current Date and End Date are the correct values. Is there a more accurate condition I can have set up to have the task run only on the scheduled day and not a day early?

is there any way to create a public link on private articles?In our use case, we have a series of tutorials on the usage and configuration of a SaaS, and we don’t want all the information to be publicly available.We know we can set everything to private so that it can only be viewed through login, but we need to have some private articles available on demand so that when our clients’ users request help, we can send them a public link where they can view the corresponding guide without login.This way, having a public viewing link for private articles or a secret link would be the perfect solution.

I got an email titled “New Activity” as follows: I want to change the content of this email but can’t find it in Email Notifications -> Agent Notifications.Can anyone tell me where it is?

Can FreshDesk open the attachment in the browser instead of downloading it for .pdf files?  I tried Chrome and Edge. If the attachment is .txt or .jpg file, it will display it in a new tab. If it behaves differently depending on the file types, what/where is the setting manages this behavior? The reason why I want open the attachment in the browser is that I hope to print directly from the browser instead of download-open-print. 

Hello,When I access the portal preview and then update portal settings such as background color, the changes do not take effect until I reload the preview pageTo see the new modifications, I have to close the website and click on the preview again.When you're working on a portal and can't see the changes right away, it's incredibly annoying.Is it possible that the developers will be able to solve it?Thank you very much.

how can you get an export from freshdesk where in the child tickets the ticket id of the parent item is also included? Now you only have the relation (parent or child) but when you have a child ticket, it would be useful to have the number of the parent ticket in the export for reporting purposes. Anyone has an idea?
