Using Freshdesk

Hi,Part of activity is recurring and we need to remind some of our customers to send us specific information/document every month / every quarter / every year.I know which companies have to receive those messages from my custom fields.Can I schedule from Freshdesk a recurring automatic email that would create a ticket so that my customer only have to answer to it ? Today, I use Blossom.

Since this basic function isn’t built-in to one of leading ticketing systems, how are people scheduling tickets with Outlook? I’ve asked about Outlook Calendar integration with support chat and via direct email to support@freshdesk.com. Freshdesk has not provided a response.   There’s not even a ‘calendar’ tag available in this forum. Are people just not using calendars any more? How to you schedule your day and week? 

We have encountered issues with font sizes in Freshsales Suite that are known previously by other customers and make Freshsales Suite unusable for outbound emailing.   I wondered if anyone across the community had encountered the same issues and/or had found a workaround. The Freshsales support desk highlighted that we should factor in a magnification of 1.33 when choosing font sizes in Freshsales as when any email is received in other applications like Gmail, m365, outlook they will be displayed in a smaller font.  Whilst annoying to have to calculate font sizes so that they appear in the normal range of font size 11-12 I have since found out that Freshsales has a gap in font sizes.   8,8,10,11,12,14,18 …..  To cope with a 1.33 magnification a font size selection in Freshsales of 13, 15 or 16 needs to be available to create a resulting 11-12 size font in other applications.  The support desk suggested a work around in changing the HTML code but then admitted that the change wouldn’t w

Since a day or 2, the number of Open tickets on my dashboard is wrong and shows 1 ticket more than there actually are open tickets.Anybody have the same issue?It's quite annoying to think there is an open ticket, when there isn't any.

Hi, I am creating an automation wherein I send test emails (using power automate) to our helpdesk email with an HTML table within its body. HTML table is working fine when viewed through browser or if it’s sent to a non-helpdesk email, unfortunately when it is being sent to our helpdesk email it is being formatted with no CSS.How the email body when it is sent to a non-helpdesk email (my personal email):How the email body received by our helpdesk email:I’m kind of stuck if the issue is with my email body or is this being limited by the platform. 

I see the endpoint firing, and I see how that stream is constructed from the attachments sample, but it doesn’t use the normal Api endpoint auth, it only returns 403 Unauthorized whenever I try./api/_/attachments is the endpoint I’m referring to. How do we Authenticate with it ?

Does Growth plan of freshdesk provides the API support to submit ticket through the crud operations and in order to connect freshdesk with other applications like asana and all?

HiThis is probably a really silly question, but I’m an admin in our FreshService instance, and I can create and update any workflow automations, however I can’t see any Execution logs.When I click the option, I get a message saying ‘no transactions found’ when there clearly HAVE been some workflows working as my tickets are updating as expected.Is there a role or some permissions that I need to be able to see this please?  

Hello, We are interested in utilizing the customer portal feature, but are looking for a way to hide our internal notes. We essentially created a contact (for example contact name would follow this scheme ‘Internal Notes - TiresRUs 00300’ ‘Internal Notes - TiresTireTire 00400’ etc.) for every dealer within our system. We then link this contact to the company in the name. This contact is used when we don’t have the person who called in as a contact or when we have a meeting with a large group from that company or even when we want to make internal notes about their account. The issue we are running into is that if we give the user access to see all tickets on their portal (all tickets for anyone with the company) then they could then see our internal notes tickets as the generic contact is tied to the company. See the dilemma? We are using private notes, so while the customer could not see detail, they could still see a ticket out there and it could lead to unnecessary questions.  Has a

Has anyone had an issue with some emails becoming tickets but not all emails? These are for new requests.I can see the emails in the mailbox but they are never picked up by Freshdesk.

Hi Team, Hope all is well, So basically, I’m trying to use fresh service API to create some integration for our use,  We have created a custom field called “Required Members” in the ticket requested items that it searches in the user's directory and take it as an input, like the below screenshot:  So basically, I’ve used an API call from the documentation to retrieve me the values of all the custom fields that we configured to this ticket, but for this field specifically it returns us the ID of the user which we don’t need it at the mean time, and instead we need to retrieve the email ID. Below is the response to the API call  HTTP API call that gets all the ticket details which is used:https://<site>.freshservice.com/api/v2/tickets/<ticket_ID>/requested_items You can let me know if you have any question. Thanks, 

I want to add a 2 week duration to a ticket.  I use the following formula in the expression builder and I am not able to get the formula to add 14 days or save as a string value"{{ticket.created_at | date: '%Y-%m-%d'}} - {{ticket.created_at | date: '%Y-%m-%d' | date_add: '+14 days'}}"What am I missing?

Hello,we have a workflow that it’s basically a Create user Workflow for microsoft active directory (on premise). Suddenly yesterday we noticed that it’s not working anymore, we checked the entire workflow and server config, nothing changed, the ports are open, the orch connects to the server etc.... The freshservice logs says that the user has been created but actually it’s not created. If someone had same problem let me know if there is any solution to this.It’s not something really complicated, it worked with no problems for months.

HelloI am trying to set up the Intune App and keep getting invalid params.  I followed the instructions, to no avail.  Has anyone had this issue and if so how were you able to correct it?

Hello, I have 2 different portals in my organization, one is internal and another external.Today I can see that if someone uses the URL of the internal portal, they can access it and create tickets because the Everyone is set to create tickets in the portal options. Here is the current configuration: Is it possible to make the internal portal only accessible by internal people? 

I am configuring a Freshdesk demo account which is needed for a demo tomorrow. I encountered this: “Outgoing emails are blocked for your account. Please contact our support team at support@freshdesk.com” first thing in the morning.  Had a chat with customer specialist and open a ticket myself, but the problem still persisted. We have lost more than half a day of preparation already. What are your experiences? How long did it take Freshworks to resolve your problems when you faced similar problem? Shall I forget about what I have prepared so far and create another trial and redo everything? I have around 22 hours before the demo. 

Hi, Support should be able to switch a public note to private and vice-versa. Thanks, Bilel

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?
