Hello,I'm getting "429 - Too Many requests" errors when trying to consume the FreshDesk API.My plan is Growth. Can't I use the API?Thanks

Will you solution with Freddy AI work with all languages as OpenAI dos or only the major ones? More specific could Freshchat and Freddy AI talk to our customers in Norwegian?

I am trying to use RestSharp to call the outbound_email endpoint.If I don’t include an attachment I am able to post to the end point successfully, however when I do include an attachment using the code below it fails. var client = new RestClient(outboundEmail); var request = new RestRequest("", Method.Post); request.AddHeader("Authorization", "Basic " + Convert.ToBase64String(Encoding.Default.GetBytes(apiKey + ":X"))); string attachmentFilePath = filePath; byte[] attachmentBytes = File.ReadAllBytes(attachmentFilePath); request.AddHeader("Accept", "application/json"); request.AddHeader("Content-Type", "multipart/form-data"); request.AddFile("attachments[]", attachmentBytes, file.pdf, "application/pdf"); request.AddParameter("email", myEmail); request.AddParameter("subject", subject); request.AddParameter("des

Hey guys. All good?I would like to understand how you manage your predefined asnwers, the templates?Here in our team, we find it difficult to identify when people use or dont using it, because everyone has their answers registered on their machines, offline. However, this causes us problems with tone of voice, standardization of processes, etc. And within Fresh we were unable to have a report on the use of these responses, nor a search tool to manage them.If anyone has any tips it would be great! :D

Is this possible? Let’s say I have a client that creates a ticket by email. In this instance, it comes in from testco.com with subject of Server not accessible. Can there by a processing rule that could then append the subject of the email with the company name and change it to: Testco Server not accessible for the ticket? 

We have occasional issues where a ticket created via email, is missing text.   Weirdly enough, the only time it happens, is when the text is copied/pasted from the McMaster-Carr Website.  ============For example, here is the text in the service account’s email.  Google Business Workspace or whatever Google is calling their business email these days.  This is the same text in the Freshdesk ticket: ===========================I opened up a support ticket, but the response was to have the original website change their HTML.  Unfortunately not an option.Has anyone else seen this or have a workaround?

We want to simplify the Portal for certain users and limit the service items visible to them.  We don’t want to restrict those items for other groups, so I cannot say “only visible to” option because it needs to be visible to everyone, but for this group limit only seeing a subset of the service catalog?  Any ideas? For example, for our walk-up Radio shop, we want the service catalog for those users logged in to only show Radio items.  

Hi everyone, Have noticed the last few days that when a customer replies to a ticket the entire ticket thread is copied in on their reply making the ticket text difficult to navigate and find replies easily.It only seems to have begun this behaviour the last few days and we’ve not made any changes to settings.Anyone else getting this behaviour? It’s quite annoying for sure!ThanksRob

Hello, If a ticket is merged together the secondary ticket will get closed. So the requester gets an email saying it is closed. I want to make a workflow whereby if the requesters ticket gets merged, that they recieve an email saying that the ticked is merged. This is what i got from this forum:I’m new to freshservice so i hope this is possible

If I am using APIs to create and update users (contacts) on freshdesk, I have to call separate APIs to update the user and activate the user (through invitation link). Is there a way to add/update password of a user through API ?

If anyone is wondering why their pages rank poorly on FreshDesk, one of the potential solutions is to customise your portal (Admin → Team → Portals → Customise Portal →  Layout & Pages → Portal Layout → Head) and setup the correct tags for inclusion.The FreshDesk “Head” defaults are poor / obsolete and will cause your pages to rank and spider poorly. If you edit the Head you will see the following default:<title>{{ meta.title }}</title>{{ meta | default_meta }}Your mileage may vary but I found you can replace the above with the following, using dynamic placeholders, to provide better page SEO. Remember to keep your page title to between 30 and 60 characters, and your page description between 50 and 160 characters. I hope this helps someone else out there struggling with FreshDesk’s poor SEO capabilities.<!-- Replace "Your Site" with your actual site name --><!-- Replace "Your Company" with your actual company name --><title>{{ meta.title }}</title&g

Ok, so when styling up a portal in FreshDesk the CSS page under customization appears to be VERY limited.Single and double quotes are escaped into HTML safe variants @ symbols are simply not allowedGiven that these issues mean that ::after/::before pseudo classes can not have content added, and that media queries are also impossible, what gives? I understand that you do this to prevent DB injection by removing suspect characters, but it REALLY hamstrings the product.So, we’re forced now to have an external stylesheet to achieve what should be a simple matter.The product forces companies to do work around after work around after work around when it comes to both branding and forms.You guys really need to sort this out.Unless, of course, I’m missing something obvious? 

As a manager, I’d like to check out some of my team’s recently closed tickets every once and while--- confirm they handled them the way I advised or just can my eye over a list of items closed in a given week. So, I want to filter some of my list views based on Closed Date. Does anyone know of a way to do this?I opened an idea to allow filtering lists on ANY standard date field.

Hi, we have 2 accounts with Freshworks, one Freshservice Enterprise and one Freshdesk free tier.  I have setup SSO in both and the authentication works fine.  On the FreshService instance sign-on page I get a button “Sign in with SSO”.  I don’t get the “Sign in with SSO” on the Freshdesk instance.  How can I make sure the Sign in with SSO button is available on the Freshdesk portal log on page?freshdesk logon page 

Tickets are not getting reopened while the customer responds to a closed ticket and you are unable to keep track of the same.

We are trying to make an API hit from Freshdesk to 3rd party application which requires oAuth access to be passed in body params and client id client secret will be passed in authorisation headers. Is there any way to send the oAuth access token in the body params 

When trying to create an Issue from a new ticket using the 'Create a new issue' link in the Jira tab on a Freshdesk ticket. I see a list of users from Jira. But I'm unable to select any.The only option that will allow to be selected is 'unassigned'. I've tried with multiple projects in Jira and they all behave the same. I can't select any users from the listOnly Unassigned is selectableWhen selecting any other users it just reverts to -- and I'm unable to create ticket

First time poster - I tried searching for this first, but no luck. We want to generate a Daily Summary Email of all Open Tickets, rather than email every argent every time a ticket is created?  I tried setting up a Time Based rule, but that’s still a ‘per ticket’ email and not a summary of multiple tickets? Hope this is an easy ask for someone in the community.Forrest

They look okay with the Editor as the anchor links are colored blue. Editor screenHowever, when I move to the preview screen few of the anchor links seem Black, just  like a normal text. I force change the text color to Blue, but to no help. Is it just me who faces this problem?Preview Screen 

Hi, I’m trying freshdesk and trying to implement it at our company. I have several agents who can access the support email and most of the time they CC the support email when answering a client so that we can all keep track of what is being sent. Will this create a new ticket everytime the support email is CCed? Is there a way to create a rule saying when X, Y and Z send emails to support email do not create a new ticket?
