Using Freshdesk

I’m looking to better understand how many people use the Auto Email feature in Freshdesk.In it’s current form it’s an On/Off option and you are unable to limit what Groups or other ticket fields it can be enabled for. I’ve raised on the Ideas Forum () however I’d like to know if any other companies are using the feature.I don’t want to enable it on all tickets, and instead limit it to doing First Response on non SLA contracted questions/account problems, rather than big P1 total loss of service tickets.Thoughts? 

#DidYouKnow - 65% of customer leaders worldwide are embracing remote or hybrid operating models that accommodate work-from-home as well as working from office as they move forward.As customer experience becomes the difference between keeping or losing customers, companies are increasingly turning to technology to create great customer experience. New technology solutions can help customer service teams automate support processes, focus on creating memorable experiences, and at the same time, help more customers solve simple problems on their own. Read more.With this change, we're witnessing the rise of a new brand of customer service that's centered around agility.What do you think about the role of technology in customer service?

When allocating a ticket to an internal group (using the shared ownership feature) you can use that group’s automatic assignment rules to pick a suitable agent - just like when a new ticket is created.  However if the group includes collaborators this breaks down because collaborators cannot set their availability.It almost seems like it *should* be possible, because they have a checkbox in the dashboard when you look at available agents.  However, if you check their box it has no effect (unlike with full agents) and is cleared again if you refresh - so it looks like the UI is the same for agents/collaborators alike, but there’s no field to be set for collaborators.I think I could work around this with some home-grown automations, but I’m sure this would put more load on the Freshdesk server than doing it natively using the facilities already in place.  Is there any reason why collaborators cannot have availability, or perhaps a setting I’ve missed which means they can

Hi,it is possible to set a customer can see the tickets of other customers associated with the same company?EG customer AA (Company XX’s director) can see his ticket and also customer’s BB ticket (same company) 

Hi,I realize this question is better posted to the FreshservicePS Slack channel, but I haven’t received a response in that forum so I’m trying my luck here.I’m using the FreshservicePS PowerShell module and have a question regarding the data retrieved with Get-FreshServiceTicket. I have a ticket that was created from a Service Catalog form, and when I view the SR in the WebUI the form data is visible but it is not retrieved with Get-FreshServiceTicket.How do I retrieve this data using powershell or via the API directly?Thanks!

Hi all, As the subject pretty much describes it, is there a way for me to link to a specific section to another article as opposed to the one I’m currently editing?I know <anchor id> works for the current article one is working, will this work for link sections of other articles? What amendments should I make to the codes? Thank you.

Logging incidents on the self service portal via templatesIn previous tools we set up preset templates so colleagues could log incidents quicker, off the back of that we then created work flows so incident tickets could land with different departments based on template, this was handy because in some cases not every ticket for example “Outlook” or “laptop” would land with the same team. I know workflows are possible in Fresh service but i am wondering what other companies are doing now to control workflows of incidents, what are you doing to automate tickets as they land via the self service portal. 

This seems like a simple issue that must have been addressed somewhere. Please let m know if it has.When we upload an image to a ticket on the app from an iPhone, it is saved as “HEIC” format. If you try to open that uploaded image in the ticket on an iPhone, it jumps to a browser, asks you to download the image and then doesn’t do anything. Are there any “hacks” out there?  Thanks in advance!

What are people doing when you have a customer that is acquired or merges and starts going by a new name?  I’m finding there is no way to Edit existing names or merge with other companies, like you can for contacts.I would love to hear what other Freshdesk users are doing.

Hi everyone,I’ve recently been exploring how Freshdesk’s custom blocks and layout flexibility can be leveraged for industries outside of tech — specifically for small, local food brands that want to create a customer-friendly help center or FAQ portal.For example, I was helping organize content for a Filipino food brand that offers traditional dishes like The Original Pancit Malabon, and I realized how effective Freshdesk’s structure can be for showcasing product details, answering common customer questions (e.g., about ingredients or delivery), and building brand trust.In these cases, clarity and cultural identity are key — and customizable hero sections, video blocks, and quick-link menus really help users navigate without feeling overwhelmed.Would love to hear how others are using Freshdesk to support businesses in unique industrie

I am attempting to set up a Webhook Freshdesk automation to PUT ticket data into my CRM. I need the company_ID in the data but cannot get anything to come through with the other fields.I have tried all of the following:{{ticket.contact.company_id}} {{ticket.contact.companyid}} {{ticket.company.id}}} {ticket.company_id}} {{company_id}} {{ticket.contact.department_id}}None of these returns any value at all. What is the correct tag for pushing the ID of the company?

Hi Guys, please i need help with creating a new ticket if a requester responds to a closed ticket. Is there anyways this is possible or has someone done this before?

Has anyone had success with reminding requesters to reply to tickets? For example, agent replies, if hours since agent replied is 9 and status is awaiting response, send email to requester.I found this post from several years ago, but I’m trying to avoid adding checkboxes to our ticket forms just for this purpose. I’ve implemented the below but it just fires an email every hour on the hour once the top condition is met; apparently disregarding the second condition (listed below).  As a bonus, we’d like to only send the email during business hours. First attempt conditions (all):Status is awaiting response Business hours since agent replied is greater than 8 Business hours since agent replied is less than 9Result: User receives email every hour after 8 hours regardless of ca

Hi,I’ve created a ticket form with many of customs fields, all of them are linked with a newly created ticket.In addition I have a few fields in the form (phone, telegram id, job title etc) which have to be linked with a user, not with a ticket. How to add information from these “user” fields to the Contact details?Thanks

I have a scheduled workflow that checks if it is the “hold until date” (custom date field), and if it is, moves the ticket from hold or pending to open for review. As part of the workflow action, I would like to also reset the “hold until date” to a blank value. Is there a way to do this from the workflow action, or do I need to use a webhook? One thought I had was to use an expression node to produce a null date, then set the date field to the output of that expression, but I couldn’t get a formula to pass validation.

Hi everyone! I would like to ask for some help.I have the task of integrating FreshDesk with Power BI.
