Using Freshdesk

Hello, I’m thinking about removing the customer support portal for my business. We have created a new support website which uses freshdesk APIs to display our solutions and the support widget so we don’t want the old support portal to be accessible to customers anymore (although our agents will still be using their side which is not customer facing).  I couldn’t find how to do this in the admin panel so some direction would be greatly appreciated.Thank you!

Hello community,We recently started using freshdesk and have set up an automation that attaches a private note with a table to each ticket (for our time tracking). Unfortunately, neither agents nor administrators can edit this private note from the system, but private notes from other agents can be edited. What could be the reason for this and how can agents also edit these private notes from the automation?Kind regardsSaschaTranslated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

Hi is there a way to make the parent ticket stand out when searching through tickets.I currently use service tasks, which are connect to the parent, but if i search a name of a client, all tickets, parents and service tasks, are found, and they are very hard to tell them apart, especially if the contact is an outside client.  They look the same.Or is there some way i can write a search which only find parent tickets?Thanks

Hello, I am starting out on Freshdesk and using the free plan. People who communicate with my helpdesk get emails from “Example” (ex: “Example <support@mydomain.com>”). I see “Example” in the portal settings page, but I don’t see a place to modify that to something more appropriate. I saw in the “Multiple Products” page where I could add more products, but not modify the name of the “Example” product. I have looked around elsewhere but can’t find anywhere else in the admin settings where I can change or remove that “Example” product. Can someone tell me where to go to modify it OR at least change the FROM email address so my customers aren’t seeing “Example” in my emails to them?

Have you enabled Dark Mode in your instances? How about switching to Neo portal for a quick check or setting or changing your password or resetting your 2FA?That makes a huge visual impact, right?I guess the next step in Dark Mode should be Neo.Do you agree?In case you do, here’s the Idea in order you could vote on it:Dark Mode in Neo portal | Freshworks Community Regards,

My FreshDesk account is warning me that my service will be interrupted as it exceeds the limit of 2 agents, but, I only have one agent on the account. The screengrab below shows the message informing me about the 2 agent limit on the same page that lists all of the agents I have set up, and there is only one agent set up.  

Hello, I’ve put together a solution with a table at the top of my page that links to the various headings within the solution i.e. <a href="#anchor1">Receive Application</a> in my table links to the corresponding heading<a id="anchor1">1) Receive Application</a>Initially on saving, all the anchor links in my published solution work but then they quickly stop working, when looking back at the code within the solution, all my id=”anchor” tags are removed leaving just:<a>1) Receive Application</a>Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?Thankyou.

Ticket Update Automation will work on ticket update from API update. We have scenario where Ticket will be created from system A, and Then Create Automation will get executes, and calls System B, System B will pull some information and again update Ticket with these information. Then We have Ticket Update automation which will call System A with new tickets details. Is this possible?

I’m looking to see if I can embed our solutions articles on our website - I know we can do that with a pop- up widget, but i’m more interested if we can embed the entire page as an iframe?

Good day, How accurate it the data extracted with the API corresponding to the analytics provided on FreshDesk? I am currently using the FreshDesk to schedule API to extract ticket data and being able to perform comparison analytics to historical data. I am getting very similar results to some of the FreshDesk reporting stats however not everything is matching. I have also noticed when extracting the underlying data on a FreshDesk report it includes duplicates of tickets that may also be throwing off the accuracy when comparing to the APi - which extracts one row of data per Ticket ID. Is there any way to see the definitions behind ticket counting?e.g resolved tickets I would assume are using the resolved date - how will this be defined for created tickets, assign tickets etc. I would like to create a smooth pipeline from API pulled into Python and translated into a SQL table that can be extracted into an E

Hey,Since we are taking more and more countries live in our company and therefore also want to make the Canned Responses available in all languages, we now have the following problem:At the moment we have arranged the CRs as follows:EN - titleDE - title / titleetc. This means first the country abbreviation and the title in the national language and then in EN, so that it can be found by all users.Unfortunately, however, this becomes super confusing with even more languages and the shortcut search does not necessarily show the useful CRs.Does anyone have a suggestion for this? Or how do you handle this? :)Thank you for help!BestSonja

I have incorrectly merged two tickets and want to remove this merge so that both can be worked on.Can this be done?

Hello!Has anyone had any luck with an integration that allows you to create web forms (surveys, questionnaires etc) with conditional logic that can automatically create a ticket for agents? Is there a native functionality that I’ve somehow missed?Thanks in advance!

When I click reply, the previous reply is automatically added.How do I remove this feature?  

Using: /api/v2/search/tickets?query=[query]:The official FreshDesk docs provide this limitation: "The number of objects returned per page is 30; also, the total count of the results will be returned along with the result" and "To scroll through the pages, add page parameter to the URL. The page number starts with 1 and should not exceed 10." This implies that I can only account for a maximum of 300 objects (tickets). What if I have more than 300 objects to account for in a specified interval, say within an hour?The ‘created_at’ parameter is strictly a date datatype (YYYY-MM-DD), so I cannot partition the data according to hours, which would otherwise have been a solution that circumvents the pagination limitation. Using: /api/v2/tickets?:Another significant limitation is the ‘updated_since’ parameter. It only applies to tickets that have been updated at least once during their lifespan. Tickets that are not updated will not appear in

In our Freshdesk the agents create tickets as well via email. These tickets, where the requester is an agent, are not assigned to any company, as agents are not assigned to companies.How can I assign a company to such a ticket, where the requester is an agent?

I’m looking at building some automation in FreshDesk to assign incoming tickets to agents based on priorities in the customer record, for instance all of the tickets where the customer territory is Scotland should come to me, like this... Has anyone implemented this before, and does anyone have any ideas on how we can deal with agents unavailability?I’m hoping that somehow we can detect if the agent is unavailable, and if they are, leave the ticket unassigned

Hi all,I’m new to freshdesk APIs and sorry if my question doesn’t make any sense.I’m working on powerBI with freshdesk API to do some analysis. I’m in need of Tickets and Time_Entries data which I requested through the API endpoins.I have noticed some of the tickets are not found as entries in “time_entries” data.for instance, take a ticket with id “6364” in “tickets” data and when I match that ticket to the time entries under “ticket_id” column I couldn’t find a entry for some tickets.Initially I thought if there is no responder then no time entries will be found. But I saw some tickets with no responder in time entries.Am I missing something here? Any help is appreciated. Thanks for the time.RegardsFazil M 

Hello,I use the freshdesk API to synchronize contacts and companies with our internal systems.Therefore i have to read all 23.000 contacts, which takes a lot of time. Using pagesize=100 single threaded it takes over 20 minutes. With parallelization using 50 parallel threads, it only takes 10 minutes to get all of them. Now I have two questions:What is the best configuration for parallelization in this context?And is it possible to reduce the data volume by only getting the needed fields (I tested the ?fields parameter, but it doesn’t work)?Many thanksAndiW
