Using Freshdesk

Hi, We have a customer that needs to see the live performance from the custom dashboard. They want to get the SLA for tickets that come from Email but the Time Trend and SLA Metrics widget can only filter by Groups. Could we have a feature where the Widget from the Custom Dashboard can be filtered by sources.Thanks.

Is there a way to change the categories' font color so the viewer can see them better? The font color is a very light gray and is not noticeable for viewers. 

Good morning all. Looking at the new AHT enhancement to be released on Freshdesk it would appear to be a global on/off switch, is it likely it could be configured down to group or even ticket level? We are rather unique users of Freshdesk so this may seem an odd request, but it could work extremely well for one kind of ticket we raise, but not for all of them Cheers in advance Steve

I’ve discovered that it is possible for a customer to attach an .exe file to a new ticket, and for that .exe file to be downloaded by a member of staff responding to the ticket.. Due to the possibility of a Zero Day being introduced to our network, we would like to either:Remove the attachment option from the portal Limit the attachment types to a small few (pdf, .doc, .jpg etc)Has anyone got any advice on how to action the above?

Hi,Is there any way to redirect a ticket to group, when a specific email is mentioned in “to” email address. 

Hello,We want to add the ticket type to the ticket list view to make it easier for our customers. Can someone help me customize the portal to include this? Right now, it displays as such:Ticket subject #ticket IDCreated on date via ticket source

Whenever one of our representatives makes an inward ticket (so his own name as requester) our inner clients can't see these tickets.Our organization name is CONTOSO.Interior clients (so not specialists) can't see these tickets like our clients can for their own organization. (Colleague isn't an answer)We can allocate the pass to a faker inner email so it gets doled out to our inside organization name (best work-a-round up until this point) but the mentioning specialist doesn't gets answers any longer when one more specialists answers to the issue. There are workaround for this likewise, yet what might seem OK is, that if some from @contoso.com makes a ticket, specialist or interior client the same, the ticket gets alloted to the comparing organization CONTOSO.This would likewise fix issues in void organization names in insightful reports.How could this should function/for example how might I get the specialist made tickets (where a specialist asks support) doled out to an organization

I am reviewing Fresh Desk for a college project, and I need to include some User Reviews. Would someone please share their Fresh Desk experience with me? 1. How long have you been using FreshDesk? 2. Do you have any concerns about security when using FreshDesk? Email security, phone security?  3. What do you like the most about using FreshDesk? 4. Do you use the M.S. Teams with Facebook? 5. Have you created a knowledge base for your clients so they can help themselves? 6. Lastly, do you use Canned responses to save your agents the time of replying to common questions?

In freshservice we've noticed that the User/Requestor can't see the tasks which we as Agents assign to that ticket.A ticket could have lets say 10 or more tasks for that one request and from a communication stand point it would be really beneficial to allow the User/Requestor access to see them.

First post here on Freshworks so a Big “Hi” to All!Also, apologies if this topic already appears elsewhere - have searched!OK - our Sprout account was opened some 4 years ago and is in daily use. The admin that set up our self service portal content has left and we wish to edit this content. Although the Portal is “active” - viewable by users - there doesn’t appear to be a way to edit the content.If there is a mechanism to do this - I may have missed this option - could you please let me know? Thanks. David Williams - Extinction Rebellion UK

Hi...We have just started experimenting with the knowedebase. I’d like to secure the Freshdesk portal, such that the tickets and knowledgebase portal are visible only to staff with our @companyname.com email address, and so that the pages do not get indexed in any public search engines.  How to do this?    

Hi Freshworker :D  hope you all well :) I’m wondering if someone linked redmineup with Freshdesk ticketing system or any type of automation? 

I’m new to freshdesk, so I don’t really know if this is already implemented. Is there anyway that I can create a ticket (as an agent) from a message?I’ve searced and all I could find is that it might exist for freshservice.

I’ve got a user, that sends in, let’s say three emails to freshdesk, about a minute apart (all different subject lines).   Freshdesk seems to merge those tickets automatically into one.    As far as I can tell, we don’t have any automation doing this, nor can i find anywhere to turn this off.  Please Help.

Is it possible to to make it mandatory for a Tag to be entered in order to resolving a ticket? Thanks!

Hello FD Community,I am a long time Zendesk user that is making the transition to FD and find I am struggling on a couple of things. The biggest being custom ticket fields and the management of when an agent sees them and when they are required to fill them out. In Zendesk, you could have ticket fields that were only visible based on the form the ticket was using. Any fields that were not on the form, were not visible to the agent even if they were required on a different form. Has anyone figured out how to do that in FD? If so, please share your wisdom with me. Either I am just struggling to wrap my head around something or I am missing it all together.  Thanks in advance.

Hi,For our Freshdesk instance the Field Service Management module is activated.At my company it is tipical to send 2 field technicians on site to perform a repair activity.To create the on site calls we create Service Tasks from tickets.In a Service Task it is possible to define the responsible field technician.But this can be done by choosing ONLY ONE from the list of field techs.Is it possible to setup Freshdesk system to allow us to assign more than one Field Technician to the same Service Task ?Thank you!

Canned responses don't apply email subject change within its feature which force agents to add more steps to send a proper email, with a correct email subject, to customers.Email subject change should be automatically applied within the canned responses feature. It should help the agents loads of works from manually change it to just apply the canned responses. Please take action on this. Thank you for your kind assistance.

We have been working with the free version of Freshdesk Support desk, and most of our agents prefer to work through email.  We have configured FD so that all agents receive new inbound tickets… and are currently seeing all the traffic for each ticket. I think there is a profile setting for an agent to see traffic for only their assigned tickets...however, I can’t find the setting… is that available in the free version?    Many thanks.    --- L  

I have created a workflow with App Orchestration to SSH into a server and run a bash script that uses the aws cli to update some security groups. My workflow works fine to a point. It gets up to and runs the SSH script successfully via the orchestration server then workflow stalls waiting for something from a orchestration listener. I find no supporting documentation on this or if there is anything specific I need to echo or send from my bash script. The only errors I see in logs on the orchestration server state it is not sending to rabbitmq which did not get installed with the OSR. The server is online. It has internet access, however there isn’t even a execution log generated. Has anyone seen this or know what the communication issue might be?  Workflow is waiting for another event Orchestration Listener

Hello Experts,I have couple of queries related to decommissioning of password based authentication feature. link for one of our application as of now we are accessing the freshservice api’s using basic authentication, where we pass the api key of the agent in user name and X in the password and generate base 64. After May 2023 would this basic authentication be still possible? in general for api key based authentication, we pass the apikey name & value in header, but what is the keyname to be passed for fresh api’s? Is there any key header? /Deva
