Using Freshdesk

Pretty much what the title says. I’ve managed to do some pretty cool stuff with the API and PowerShell scripts running on a schedule. Unfortunately, this isn’t something I’ve been able to do.If someone could provide an example of a JSON File containing the body on how an asset is added, that would be great. So far, this is what I have: $APIKey = 'MyApiKey'$EncodedCredentials = [Convert]::ToBase64String([Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes(('{0}:{1}' -f $APIKey, $null)))$Header = @{}$Header.Add('Authorization', ('Basic {0}' -f $EncodedCredentials))$parameters = @{ assets = @{ display_id = "8232" } }$Parameters = ConvertTo-Json $parametersinvoke-RestMethod -URI 'https://MyDomain.freshservice.com/api/v2/tickets/147710' -Headers $Header -ContentType "application/json" -Method PUT -Body $Parameters For clarity, that would make the JSON contents: { "assets": { "display_id": "8232" }}I probably am missing something bu

Is it possible to set up a second portal for freshdesk, whose domain url would end for example in “.de” and not “.com”? I know that I can set custom url, but I don't know about the ending.

I currently have a knowledge base in my own software and I want to transfer it to freshdesk, but I have a peculiarity, each article in the knowledge base answers several questions from users. Example:question1, question5 and question9 are answered by knowledge article X.Can Freshdesk configure multiple questions for the same knowledge item? Thansk!

We discovered that when changing the ticket list to Table view The dates in the column “Created at” are translated in a strange way.Normally you would get “April 6” or “6 April” But in Freshdesk it says “6de Apr.”The ‘de’ part is a little weird.As far as I know, we cannot change this ourselves.Maybe we can get a Feature Request for this?

Hello everyone,I hope you are all having a wonderful week!I wanted to bring up a topic that I believe is worth discussing - the challenges we face when editing and updating articles using the FD knowledge base creation functionality. The formatting is always off, and it looks very different when published.Therefore, I'd like to pose a question to the community and gather some insights on this topic - Have you faced challenges while editing/updating/formatting your articles using the FD knowledge base article functionality? If so, how have you been able to overcome them?I believe that many of us may have encountered this issue, and I'm hoping to hear your experiences and any tips or solutions that you may have found helpful.Thank you in advance for your contributions!Sarin

I want my agents to primarily interact with customers over email, but have issues when an agent responds to email notifications from FreshDesk.In my setup I have agents in a group, all new tickets get assigned to that group resulting in a “Ticket Assigned to Group” notification.When an agent responds to that notification, it appears a new ticket is created, rather than a response going to the requestor.Is an email driven workflow from the agent side possible? If so, are there any recommendations to achieve this?Thanks

We are trying to create ticket as an Agent from the API, we’ve tried different things as using responder_id; or email_config_id, we trying with different source but We can’t get it, If somebody get this done, we’ll appreciate any help on this topic. if is not possible because is a limitation of the API. We think this would be a good feature to integrate into the API. 

Hello guys, hope you are doing fine (: I’d like to know if there a way to hide or disable the “Priority” default field? I already tried a custom role, also 3 differents apps from Marketplace:Hide fields app 9822  Disable fields app 25380  Hide/Disable Ticket Fields app 5416 (suggested by this article)But in none of them is it possible to block or hide this field. I believe the ability to have this set up is vastly needed… And of course, we have some reasons for this particular use, such as:Block the change of priority in a certain phase of the ticket. Block the field based on some function condition. Block changing the field based on some specific condition of the ticket (such as Type, or dependent fields, etc.)Among other examples, which are even met by the apps I mentioned above in matters of conditions, but it is not possible to perform the "blocking" action. Thanks for now  

Is it possible to create a ticket as a Agent,Onbehalf of the Customer,But having to wait for a response from the Customer?When i make a ticket for the customer now, The Agent has to react in a certain amount of time.But i want the reaction time to be on the Customer side. Not the Agent side.(to prevent SLA issues)

Hi,We have a lot of customers send through PII data in emails which ends up in our Freshdesk tickets. I understand the level of security freshdesk provides, but I'm looking for suggestions on how to to note its collection and restrict its distribution.Has anyone dealt with this before?Should I use tags to mark it as sensitive info and have the email redacted so that when the customer is replied to the PII info is not going back an forth etc.Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi all- does anyone know how to modify the CC field on the submit a ticket view? We want to make it more obvious what it is because we have a custom business field that is also often referred to as CC (unrelated). We’d like to change it from CC to something like “Add CC to copy someone on your request”. Thanks in advance!Anna

Is it possible to select all tickets from a particular contact or email address rather than selecting 30 tickets at a time. I have more than 40K pending tickets and most of them are system generated ones. I would love to close all of these system generated ones with a few clicks rather than going 30 tickets at a time.

Hello,How can I collect recurring emails under a single request?Thanks.

Hi,If there is a common word in two different mails, is there an automation for combining two or more mails?Best regards.

Whenever the Agent or Admin opened the particular ticket the following error is popping up “You are not authorized to perform this action”, We are using full admin access API Key for Integration. We changed the roles and checked it but same issue occurs. It is more priority for us, so please give us the solution as soon as possible.

Hi - I’ve amended the list of options in the Types dropdown - removed Refund for example and added a couple of other options.Problem is, when I open a ticket and drop down the Type field, only the original set of options is there - including the deleted one. None of the new options appear.Any ideas?

On https://developer.freshmarketer.com/api/#intro is a link to:Learn more about finding your API key. But that link is broken...

Hi all,I saw that you can bulk update certain fields for linked tickets. We would like to bulk update a custom single-line field so that when the tracker ticket field is filled, it fills that same text in the field for all linked tickets. Does anyone have a solution or ideas?

Has anyone ran into the issue where, when you respond to a ticket and the customer is OOO - you get the notification which in turn creates a new ticket.If so, how did you solve the issue by automation to remove the “false” new ticket created?
