Changing email address

I made a mistake when I set up the Freshdesk account. Now all my personal emails are being created as new tickets. How do I either change the email address to get mine out, or delete the entire account so I can start over?

field names different in api and xml data export

I want to export and send information to sales of tickets that had the word “xxx” in the subject or the description field of a ticket and append on the user contact info. I used admin - account - details - export data to get the current database from freshdeskI decided to use Microsoft access database to do the left joins between the ticket table and the user table.I imported the the tickets, companies, and users xml file into the databaseI had to change the long fields like body, body-html, description, and description to type memo before importing, It was a bit tedious to import the 39 ticket files and 31 user files but it worked fine. I discovered by trial and error that the the helpdesk-ticket request-id is a key to the user table’s id fieldand the customer-id field is a key to the company table id field. All worked fine and I ended up with this query. Not all the company names populated so maybe customer-id is not foreign key for company table id field. SELECT [helpdesk-ticket].s

Creating Freshdesk Tickets from Chat Bot Queries

Hi All, I have an AI Chat Bot integrated in my app and website. I want to do a API configuration where the Chat Bot communicates with the Freshdesk to send the unanswered queries from the user as a ticket so that an agent can resolve it. It should also capture the user email. I have people to build this and I just need to know the option under settings on Freshdesk where we can do this. FYI: I am on the Free Plan.

adding a private note on the ipad app

I am the lead agent on our Fresh Desk, and am relatively new to the program. I can add a private note on my Mac, and colleagues can add a private note on their pc and tablets. But I cannot add one with my iPad. When I put in the @ sign, it should pull up a list of users, but it does not.This would be enormously helpful.note I amnot a techie person, but I do like providing good customer service and being able to collaborate with a private note would be very helpful.

Remove my Credit Card Information but Company Email Account (used as username at FreshDesk) is deleted

Dear FreshDesk Experts,Thank you for reading this question. My name is Kevin, and I used to work for an online education company that used FreshDesk for ticketing system.While I was employed there, my credit card was used for FreshDesk’s billing. Now, I no longer work for the company, and my company email account has been deleted. However, that email account is still associated with the online education company’s FreshDesk site.Recently, I tried to log into FreshDesk using my company email account. Although I entered the correct password, I was prompted to provide a 6-digit code for two-way authentication. Unfortunately, the company email account has already been deleted.In this situation, whom at Freshworks or FreshDesk can I contact to verify my identity? I need to remove my credit card information and replace it with the company’s credit card.Thank you!Kevin

Forward entire ticket to e-mail

Our business requires everything to be saved in our ERP system. Sadly this system does not integrate well with 3rd party.My idea was to have Freshdesk send all ticket contents in an e-mail once our agents change the status to “Resolved”, and then link the e-mail in the right places within our ERP system. We, however, have not been able to find a way to have Freshdesk send all ticket contents:manuals describe a “Forward” action for Automations- this does no longer exist it seems Using a “Forward”-thread in Automations - only “Recent” content is included. For example: we created a ticket yesterday, but only today's public note is included.The only product we use is Freshdesk. What am I missing?

Show solution article in multiple folders or categories

I found this ancient thread: https://support.freshdesk.com/support/discussions/topics/300507/page/3?url_locale= But would also like to have the possibility to show a solution article in multiple folders.We have multiple products with articles which apply to all, and some only to a few. Right now we’d need to greatly overhaul our main page or get a custom folder view but that’s not an option for us.

Ticket ID on reply to notes

When we add a private note to a ticket, the ticket ID is included in the email. When we reply to a private note, the ticket ID is not in the email. Any idea how we can set ‘reply to note’ to include the ticket ID?

OpenAPI / Swagger

Hi,Why is there no OpenAPI / Swagger YML specification file available for Freshworks APIs ?I tried both URLs below but did not work: https://MY-ACCOUNT.freshdesk.com/api/v2 https://MY-ACCOUNT.freshdesk.com/api/v2/swagger.yml I guess you would agree that OpenAPI is a standard among software APIs and would make life so much easier for Postman tests and API access code generation.And would be a really nice companion for the already nice Freshworks products :-)Thanks

Inability to edit TO field after clicking REPLY

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.

Is it possible to limit article search results in the API to a particular category?

Hello! We are using the Freshdesk API to load articles into our company website. We have two distinct audiences that visit - employers and workers - and have categories setup for each of those. We are able to build distinct pages that load only the folders/articles relevant to each by using the List all Solution Folders in a Category endpoint.We also allow for visitors to search for articles. We would like to limit the search results to only articles/folders within a specific category. For instance, if a visitor uses the search from the Employers page, we only want articles that are part of the Employers category to appear.Looking at the Search solution articles endpoint, it appears this only takes a term parameter and returns any articles across all categories and folders.Is there any way to limit the search results to a specific category?

Calculate Resolution Time Via API

Hi all,I would like to know if there’s a straightforward way of calculating the ticket resolution time for a selected date range and/or group/agent through the API?The endpoints don’t really make too much sense to me.The /search/tickets endpoint only allows for 300 results and has not ticket stats, so I would have to get the ticket ID and make API calls to each individual ticket to get its stats;The /tickets endpoint doesn’t allow proper filtering and has a limit of 30000 tickets, which makes it impossible for me to find the tickets I want for a period of 1 yearI have exhausted the possibilities here on how to calculate the Resolution Time for long date ranges…Can anyone enlighten me, please?Thanks!

Filter for Tickets Over Created Date Age

My team is migrated to Freshdesk from Zendesk. While it is something we are working on, my company has a large amount of outstanding tickets that are over a year old. I would like to create filters for tickets over 30 days, 60 days, 90 days etc. But all the filters appear to be based on created less than or requiring specific dates.Does anyone know a way to do this?

Allow Contact to Assign Ticket to Other Contact in the Same Company

I understand that this may take a bit of customization, but before I dive too much into that I wanted to see if anybody has had any experience with the following: We have multiple companies with individual contacts associated with them, each contact handling different tasks at different times. I want to enable a way in the customer portal for a contact to be able to change the assigned contact of the ticket to a different individual in their same company. Is this theoretically possible?

Using the original sender as ticket requester in forwarded emails not working

Hello. I’m trying to use the forward option in Freshdesk, so when an agent gets a “ticket” in a private conversation and I’m forwarding it, the original sender should be the requester. Unfortunately it’s not working, although the function is enabled in the Administrator settings. Below is the screenshot. You can see the following:the original email comes from szil****@gmail.com the recipient is the agent hor****@**iws.hu the email was forwarded to the support email address the requestor on the right side is hor****@**iws.huAny help would be appreciated. Thank you,Szilárd Horváth
