Using Freshdesk

in my visitors list I see a lot of spam links to pages that are clearly not on my website.how is this even possible?its as if freshdesk has been hacked and someone is injecting these links into my visitors list. I cant imagine why anyone would want to do this. but i am worried that my visitors can somehow see this crap and are perhaps being redirect to it in forums and solutions??is this a known issue?has anyone else seen this?

Hi there,I'd like to use Freshdesk for QA testing of websites/elements of websites. Against this background, I would want to specify the test requirements in the ticket and then I'd want 3 agents to carry out the test; one after the other, without any one of them seeing the replies (with the test results) of the other agents. After 3 agents have carried out the test and replied to the ticket with their test result, the ticket should be considered as closed.More requirements:- I do not to assign tickets to a specific agent (and after completion to the next one) because of different (and variable) hours of availability of each agent.- I do not want any agent to see the reply of other agents in order to avoid bias in the test results.- Once agent A has replied with his test results, the ticket should no longer be available for him/her but every other tester should still be able to access and test it.Is this possible with Freshdesk? I've been playing around with it for quite some time and

Very quick question but we have found that when a ticket is 'Pending' it doesn't seem to be added to the dashboard.Is there any way of getting 'Pending' tickets to be added to the dashboard?Many thanks!

If the user sending a support request can paste an image, but that image will not be sent, then this is a problem. It should be that the user cannot paste an image if there is no way for that image to be included with the support request.I don't know how big an issue it will be, but I want to put a disclaimer on the form "DO NOT PASTE IMAGES in the Description section" and that feels kludgy.

Hi,I go to my helpdesk at https://shellstocktags.freshdesk.com/, and click the login link, and I get an error saying "this webpage has a redirect loop" and giving a url of https://shellstocktags.freshdesk.com/login/normal?host_url=shellstocktags.freshdesk.comIf I clip off the "?host_url=shellstocktags.freshdesk.com" I get the login page.Any way I can fix this?

 I'm an agent at http://pculture.freshdesk.com/home , in charge of replying to users' queries in the Amara help forum. The new viewing of this forum by agents, with just the headings of the various boards, is sleek and no doubt great on a smartphone, but I preferred the former one, where you could see all the boards with their last topics at a lance.  Is there a way I can switch back to that former viewing, except by loggin out before I view the forum?Thank you in advance for your reply.Claude Almansi

I want to use the feedback widget, but I don't want the standaard button. I want my own button for styling and placement, but when pressed the feedback widget should show. I've tried to used the embedded widget in a dialog, but I always get a text area for the question with a height = 0Thx-Aad

If a ticket is not assigned to any specific agent but already assigned to a group, what is the Fresdesk's behavior when a customer responds to the ticket? Does every agent (in the group) get a notification e-mail about the reply? If it doesn't, I would really like to see such a behavior.Ville

HI,We are trying to work out what is causing these labels to appear. We have changed due date to 10 days and we still get a label appearing saying response due.Also what clears the labels? We have changed status but that doesn't seem to do it. even replying to customer doesn't in some cases. We don't really want to have to send a separate reply to a customer to clear this flag. If we change the status to pending, the customer has then gotten a response to say the status has changed. So it should clear the flag.It's really starting to confuse and frustrate our agents. Could you please let us know in detail what is driving these labels to appear, what criteria etc is checked. And also exactly how the system decides the label should be removed.Kind RegardsPaul

I have recently enabled "Allow users to Sign in using Google" in our FD portal. When a subset of customers that run google apps for education get to our login page and select the "or login using Google" shortcut, they receive a "OpenID auth request contains an unregistered domain: http://cclt.freshdesk.com.

When I copy and paste an image into the body of a new ticket it shows up in the ticket form, but does not show up with the submitted ticket.

In the past few days, I've been unable to use the mobile site to manage and reply to tickets. When I try to change a ticket, I get a message saying "correct the errors", although there are no errors in the form. When I try to send a reply, after clicking "Send" the page goes gray for a moment, then it becomes usable again, but the message is not sent. If I click on "Send" again, a message saying "Login required" appears. I go back to the home page, log in, reach the ticket, try to send a reply, same error, "Login required" A the above verified with Chrome, Firefox, Opera and Android browser. It looks like the mobile site loses the session on the way.

When I select Business Hours icon in Administration, bellow text is shown: We're sorry, but something went wrong. We've been notified about this issue and we'll take a look at it shortly.This problem has been going on for almost a week...thxK-)8

Our company uses freshdesk. When responding to the clients ticket, the email is triggered to the client (as expected). However, should the client hit reply, their response goes to the support@....com email, but the response is not appended to the ticket in freshdesk. Is this possible or have we a setup issue? This is a problem for us as any responses from the client are not tracked against the ticket. Thanks.

When searching for solutions using a tag, the results show the full solution text instead of a truncated version (summary). This makes the results difficult to read and very long!We are trying to use tags to categorise our solutions and link users to a search page showing all the matching results. But this is not working well.It would really help if search results that match a tag were truncated to first few lines.Thanks!

Hi,If we copy and paste an image out of a gmail email, the image is displayed, but the link is set to the private gmail link from my email account. So it's shows up fine when I view the ticket/canned response and i'm logged in to gmail, but if anyone else views it, it shows as a broken link.Is it possible to fix or prevent this from happening?RegardsPaul

How can I customize the home page - I want to put a link on the home page on the right panel?

If I try and log onto my Freshdesk system using the iOS app as a customer, I am getting login errors. Is there some reason that Freshdesk doesn't think that our customers would use this mobile app?All of our customers have iPads, or other mobile devices, and would prefer to use them for Freshdesk access. Is this a bug or a current limitation in the system. In either case, when will this feature be enabled?

We have just recently imported all our old tickets from Zendesk and I've noticed that if a client responds to a imported ticket via email using the email sent from the old system it creates a new ticket and doesn't reply to the imported ticket. Is there anyway to prevent this with out having to merge the newly created ticket and rather have the response added to the existing ticket?

It seems in the last week or so, the Company search does not work in the Edit Contact screen.  It used to be that you could type a word of a company name into the Company field and you would get a list of possible results to select from.  This no longer happens.Currently, in order to link a Contact with a Company, you have to enter the full company name 'exactly' into the Company field.  The full company name is very difficult to find manually when there is a large number of Companies in the system.  (It also seems that the Export Customer function does not include Companies that are not linked to any Contacts.
