Using Freshdesk

Hi, my custom fields are not appearing in the placeholders pop up under Ticket Fields.i am creating an automation which adds a Task to a ticket and I need to reference fields from the ticket to add to the notes in the Task.Thanks

In our ticket fields, we have the basic choices for sourcesHowever, when I go to create a ticket on behalf of a customer in the tickets section, under the source dropdown, only “Phone” is selectable. How can I set this up so that the other options are available from that dropdown?

Dear all, We just connected  the Freshdesk Omnichannel with Microsoft Teams and wondering whether is possible to modify the ticket form for end user? I wanted to set the Status, Priority and Group as fix and user no need to choose the options.Please advise. Thanks 

Hi, I want to update a custom field using the freshdesk API.This is the request I am making:Fresh.tickets.update_ticket(freshdesk_id, custom_fields={'Some Field': some_value}) This is the response I get: freshdesk.v2.errors.FreshdeskBadRequest: Validation failed: [{'field': 'Some Field', 'message': 'Unexpected/invalid field in request', 'code': 'invalid_field'}] 

HiIn this ticket form scenario the customer uploads a completed form. ( this form is easier done by attachment rather than replicating all the ticket fields). However I want to be able to add some explanation text that is not related to a particuilar ticket field (ie not like the customer tips feature). For example I owuld like to add a line of text that appears above the attachment option that says “please attach your completed xxxxxx form. The form can be found here (link to solutions article)”…any suggestions?  

When styling the login page is it possible to change the order of and individually restyle the “Are you an agent?” and “Are you a customer?” login links?Ideally we would have the prompt for customers to login be much more prominent and higher on the page than the agent login. It’s not very intuitively laid out as it is currently (why is there a headset icon next to the customer login and the agent login?!). Appreciate any pointers that anyone might have. Thanks!

Hello, We designed Webhooks to call and update external applications from Freshdesk. If the API call fails for some reason, the feedback comes by mail after one hour (3 retries) or so.Did anyone put in place a more efficient and reactive way to handle Webhook failures and can share about it? We are a bit concerned about having to wait one hour to be notified about the failure of the update.Thank you

Hello Freshdesk,We've successfully linked a WhatsApp account to Freshdesk, and the integration process was seamless.As we begin to receive customer requests through this channel, we've identified the need for an automatic reply regarding our office hours, etc. Could you please let us know when this feature will be available?Thank you!

We have a good amount of tickets that are auto closed by automation rules.  Is there a way to exclude these from all SLA calculations or would I need to assign them to a specific group and then exclude that group in the SLA analytics?

Hi, We have changed our domain to a new domain name which means we had to change all our email addresses as well. After doing that, when a client logs a tickets to Freshdesk, we do receive the ticket, but when we as agents reply to the ticket, it creates a new ticket.I have checked all the suggested setting as from the knowledge base, but it still happens. Any ideas?

Hi, currently I try to integrate Freshdesk in a chat application using the REST api. To do not spam our productive system for the tests, I set up a new freshdesk account and have chosen the FREE version.I tried to first get the list of available tickets according the example curl command: ​curl -v -u user@yourcompany.com:test -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X GET "https://domain.freshdesk.com/helpdesk/tickets/filter/all_tickets?format=json&page=1"​But this does not work. So the question is, is the REST API not working in the free version of Freshdesk?

Hello, I am quite new to bot building so I hope someone can help.I have created a flow where a reference number is collected. This has the following regex validation applied:(700000[0-9]|70000[1-9][0-9]|7000[1-9][0-9]{2}|700[1-9][0-9]{3}|70[1-9][0-9]{4}|7[1-9][0-9]{5}|[89][0-9]{6})I have then created a condition where if the response is valid you to go dialogue 12.2, else dialogue 12.4.Where a valid reference number is entered this works as intended, however if something else is entered this is not going to 12.4, instead it is just asking for the reference again (12.1) leaving you stuck in a cycle.Is there something I have done wrong? How can a you get out of this cycle without entering a valid reference? 

I created a custom Single-line text Ticket field.I want this to appear in reports I create in Analytics, There currently is no option to include these fields.Are there any plans to allow this?  It seems logical that people would expect to be able to use these fields in reporting.  Thanks

Hello,I am trying to create a condition based ticket form for the customers to fill in when creating a ticket. So I have placed a ticket field into a section field under another field. Is it possible to add another layer to this and add a section to the ticket field which is within a section currently. I am also wanting to know if sections can be added to the default product field? Kind regards

Hello, are there any plans to expand the Freshservice API to be able to complete approvals programmatically?

I have a script that uses the v2 tickets endpoint to return tickets updated since a specific point in time.  The script loops through each ticket returned and, for each, calls the time_entries endpoint to retrieve its time entries.Examining the return headers on the very first API call to get the list of tickets reveals a rate limit of 120 and remaining count of 119. However, the first time the script calls for time entries (on the very first ticket) the API returns a 429 error. Presumably, this would be the second call from a rate limit perspective.We have no other apps using the API key. We are on a Pro plan.Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

I am working on an orchestration for when users go on leave that will block their logon by editing the “logonhours” attribute in AD to block logon.I am able to edit other attributes in the custom_attributes field without an issue, but when I go to update logonhours, I get the following error in the screenshot below: In case the picture doesn’t load for anyone, the error is:The request is not supported At line:1 char:1 + Set-ADUser -Identity 'CN=Test User,OU=************************************************ ... + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (CN=Test User,OU...s,DC=*********************) [Set-ADUser], ADException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : ActiveDirectoryServer:50,Microsoft.ActiveDirectory.Management.Commands.SetADUser Disabling the user is not an option as it will kick off other automation that will break other things in the domain including their IP phone setup. Is this field not able to be updated throug

Hi everyone, how can I connect my Power BI desktop app to the tickets information on FreshService? I want to create custom metrics and dashboards and check them directly. Currently I can export a file manually (as Growth doesn’t allow to schedule and so I cannot get an API URL) and connect directly and do the updates.However, I would love the option to just have a direct connection to it, check real time (almost) for metrics and dashboard at any time. I have a Power BI Pro license and FreshService has been our ticketing system for over a year now.I know this is possible with FreshDesk, but with FreshService I have been unable to find a solution using some articles on this group. There are some third party services, but those are static dashboards or is pricey. We want to be able to create a direct connection and produce the exact metrics that our director needs. thank you!

I am attempting to create an automation that will send ticket info to a webhook when a ticket is updated.  If the ‘Push to Monday’ custom field is selected. Currently it is working only when the ‘Push to Monday’ field is updated.  I would like it to work on any update to a ticket where the ‘Push to Monday’ field has been selected. 

I receive the error message "Email rejected due to an unexpected error. Please try again after sometime." when I attempt to send an email to our customer.Please help me solve this problem and how can I recognise the problem specifically. thanks

Hello,We want to add a title for a section of checkbox fields to give our customers instruction. It would appear above the checkboxes and say something like “Please indicate which expenses you incurred”. I’ve included a screenshot of the section of this ticket form.  Thank you!Anna

On my portal, I would very much like to have a separate tab for FAQ articles. I also want the folders arranged in a list on the left, with the articles within showing in a list with only the title showing, with a expand/collapse button right next to each title, that makes the content of the article appear/disappear.Freshdesk themselves has this:Emails : FreshdeskHas anyone here been able to do this with coding? and if so, could someone maybe provide some snippets and a short explanation of how to do it?

Hi All,Looking at past request for this, there has been no response from the Freshservice exerts.Surely there must be away of adding Tasks to a scheduled Ticket??? Most scheduled tickets are for certain checks etc, so it makes sense that there are tasks enabled within the ticket.Thank you in advance,Steve
