Using Freshdesk

Hi, This is what I am trying to do. Sometimes, some tickets we receive are for another service who doesn’t need to use Freshdesk. I would like to be able to :close the tickets (actually, use a « forwarded » status I created) change the group (so that the other service can have a notification in their Slack canal) forward the ticket to their generic mail addressWith the scenario feature, I was able to change the status and the group but I don’t find how I can transfer the email automatically. Is this possible ? Should I use another functionnality ?

Hello!Please, I would like to hide certain custom fields in contacts, to certain agents. Maybe an app that allows me to perform this action, or how it can be done with roles, if they give me the configuration.I appreciate your help.

is there any way to create a workflow that checks if all tasks on a service request are closed and if so, close the ticket?

I’m having a problem submitting tickets on our site - raleighschool.freshdesk.com. After submitting a ticket, I get the error “We are sorry. You have been restricted from accessing this helpdesk page.” In looking at other tickets other customers have posted, it looks like Freshdesk support needs to do something to fix it. Can someone take a look? -Paul 

Our publish and save buttons are regularly unavailable to click. We can’t save nor publish our changes, so we have to copy the code and refresh the page. Anyone else experiencing this?  

Is there a way to order tickets alphabetically from Z-A rather than from A-Z? We currently have manually sorted tickets which have titles with versions at the end (like "XXXX 1.2.3" where XXXX never changes) but want to switch to alphabetical ordering so the highest numbered versions show at the top.  Is there a way of doing that?

Hi I have a case where some employees can handle both NJ and NY tickets (the state is a field on the ticket level) and other employees can only handle NJ tickets. How can I ensure that there is an even load of ticket assignment between all my employees - meaning that the NJ only employees get more NJ tickets assigned to them because they aren't being assigned any NY tickets?  Any insight would be helpful. Thanks

Hi! I know how to create new scenarios; I want to know if you can use existing scenarios to create brand new tickets from scratch.

Hi there, once a ticket's status is no longer on 'open' (SLA timer off), you can't see the resolution date.So meaning if I put it on pending (SLA timer off) and a few days passed, it might be overdue, but I can't see it.You have to open the ticket again to see and change the resolution date.Is there a way to see and change it while the ticket is NOT on the 'open' status?

Hi,  Can some share a design for support ticketing system he created ? We have 4 different saleforce team I need a design how to handle workflow for the different teams Thanks

For the last week my team has noticed performance issues with refresh rate of updates to ticket list view. Once a ticket has been updated to resolved or closed status when returning to the list view the ticket remains in the view with greyed out font showing closed status until we manually refresh the browser page. In the past this has not been the case. When returning to list view previously the updated ticket would no longer be visible in the view immediately. Is this a systemic cache issue that can be resolved by support or a browser setting that may have changed recently? This can cause issue with common views used by several agents.

Hey everyone! I’ve been using Freshdesk for managing customer tickets, and it’s been really helpful. However, I’ve noticed that email notifications sometimes get missed or overlooked by customers.I was thinking it might be a good idea to add SMS notifications to send quick updates about ticket statuses or resolutions. Has anyone here tried this before? I found a service that seems to offer SMS integration with Freshdesk, and I was wondering if using a BulkSMS text messenger could improve the efficiency of these notifications.Looking forward to hearing your thoughts! Thanks in advance. 😊

Hi everyone,We’re using Freshdesk along with WhatsApp and are looking for a way to set up an automatic reply when messages come in outside of our business hours.I’ve tried using the API endpoint /api/v2/tickets/[id]/reply, but unfortunately, it’s not working as expected.Has anyone successfully implemented this or can share some tips on how to achieve it? Any help would be greatly appreciated!Thanks in advance! 😊

I’ve noticed new features in Freshdesk, particularly in the scenarios section. Two buttons suddenly appear there. Can you explain the difference between them? I have the role of an administrator. Is there any difference for me, or is the distinction more relevant for regular Helpdesk agents? 

Hello, My company has a paid freshdesk account. We already have one sandbox account for QA environment. We want to create another sandbox acount for the Test environment. Please, how do we get this done?

Exactly what it says on the tin. Is there any way to manually run an hourly trigger, or do I have to just wait for it to meet the criteria that I set?

Hello,I’m struggling with some tickets that are being automatically set as spam, but by all indications not by any Agents that I’m aware of.  Does anyone have any expertise in the area of Spammed tickets?  I understand how to un-Spam them, but how do I find in Freshdesk Contacts or Senders that have been labeled as Spam?  

Hello Our FD has gotten an update so now that View List stays open and more importantly when going back to the list focus starts in the Search for views.Meaning you have to clikc away in order to use Arrow keys etc. Very annoying.Is there a way to switch back to the old one that showed itself like a hamburger menu and then went away after you clicked the list you wanted?   

I would really like the option to create more than one webhook trigger in a single automation rule. Limiting us to one webhook trigger per rule makes no sense especially since I’m only allowed one HTTP action (e.g. POST). There is currently no way to even do multiple actions per webhook, such as 2 POST requests via batching. 

Hello, how are you guys ? I have a question, anybody already use API to disable users in freshdesk administration ? I need to creat a automation to deactivate and create users in freshdesk admin control, but i can’t find any documentation for this action

Hi. We’re trying to pull ticket data into our reporting/insights platform.The main idea is to start with a simple last-updated date filter (e.g. 2024-12-01), then paginate as much as we can, then change the filter (e.g. 2024-12-01T15:30) to narrow the date range and collect a new set of pages.I have two problems:We have a ticket type for automated logging, which tends to be the vast majority of tickets. I don’t need to report on this, but it adds a lot of noise if I use the “v2/tickets” endpoint, because I can’t filter it by type. Outside of automated logging, our ticket volume can be over 300 tickets per day, and “v2/search/tickets” can’t filter updated-at by timestamp, only by date. There’s no way to use that endpoint for this pagination approach.So I can’t have both type-filtering and timestamp-filtering in the same endpoint. Right now, I’m just using the “v2/tickets” endpoint and discarding anything for the unwanted type, but this still results in a lot of unneeded API calls. We co

Hey, I do not see any option to use something like a company account tier (which is a built in field) to filter the tickets on which the SLA will apply on.Is that not possible ?

Ever since I’ve used Freshdesk, there are about 20 contacts with “@freshworks” or “@freshdesk” email addresses. They were simply there when I was onboarded. They clutter up my contact list. Is it OK to delete them? When I go to delete them, I get a pop-up message saying “When you delete a contact, all future communication from this contact will be marked as spam. Are you sure you want to proceed?”I just want to make sure I don’t miss an important message from one of them from a support perspective. Also, if I do delete a contact, say by accident, how do I stop them from being treated as spam? Do I just need to set them up again?Thanks in advance for any direction.Dave

Hi, How can I retrieve data within the specific group from Freshdesk via API for the date range from January 1, 2024, and to the current date?  We need to integrate this in Power BI tool. Thank you,
