Using Freshdesk

Freshdesk seems to not sending emails anymore from our account, since few days ago. Any clues? 

My Customer Support team gets tickets from customers, which require an email to one of our vendors. We use the forward feature to email the vendor to get information. When a vendor is out of the office and has their auto reply on, the out of office emails do not make it back to the original ticket, nor do they create a new ticket. Has anyone else come across this issue? They do not end up in Spam or Trash and we do not use the auto response feature that keeps a ticket closed.

Hi, This is the most basic question I think. How do I configure emails/replies to be sent to who ever sent an email? right now people are sending emails but there are not getting replies with the ticket number. 

I have created a custom company field with the wrong data type and therefore want to delete it.If I go to Admin->Customer Fields->Companies, on the field level there is a delete button and after pressing the button the field vanishes from the view.However, if I go to Companies, select a company and then edit it using the Edit Company button, I still see the field.How can I permanently delete a custom field on the company level?

Where can I find a theme like this?https://kbrmedia.freshdesk.com/support/home 

Hello,Sometimes I will have a long discussion with a customer and we will exchanged a lot of e-mails.It could happen that I need to add an answer with a different color to an older e-mail in the thread.But as I have found out, Freshdesk doesn’t allow more than 5 conversations in the quoted text section when you reply to a client. Can you please remove this limit?I feel this slows down the work.I had copy and paste the old e-mail I wanted to my response after I extended the quoted text.You could do the same as Outlook and just leave all the e-mails in the thread. Yes, you can see all the e-mail in the Portal.Yes, the users have all the e-mails that were sent to them.But by not having all the responses in one e-mail, they have to keep on jumping thru all the e-mails until they find the one they need.This happened to me with the ticket I raised to Freshdesk for asking about this. Regards,Silviu  

Hi!Ticket summary is a great feature that we use in our helpdesk.It is perfect to summarize what has happened previously or what needs to be done next. However it is not visible when using the Freshdesk mobile app.Is there a way to make it visible and editable ? Thank you for your thoughts.

I have the problem that the tickets are automatically created from Webshobestellung, when I now respond to the ticket is the recipient always the webshop mail and in the CC the customer mail I would like to swap this automatically?

Agent is not required when submitting a ticket:But I’m getting 400 Bad Request response status when attempting to create an unassigned ticket via the API:{  "description": "Validation failed",  "errors": [    {      "field": "responder_id",      "message": "It should be a/an Positive Integer",      "code": "invalid_value"    }  ]} This old post seems to confirm responder_id is not required: What am I doing wrong?

Dear Community, Currently trying to configure our first FreshDesk account, until now we used a Microsoft shared mailbox for our customers requests.Can I use this existing shared mailbox to transfer to FreshDesk?Until now, I did not manage. Thank you!

Filter ticket api was not working like before: 'https://domain.freshservice.com/api/v2/tickets/filter?query="priority:3"if I use this before, I got response like as expected. Now it was showing Zero tickets even though I have tickets with priority: 3

I would like to be able to show known issues at the top of ticket submission before a user submits a ticket. Something as simple as “Website xyz.com is down right now. Will update when status changes” to maybe avoid duplicate tickets getting posted. Is this possible?

Hello all,I am interested in enabling FreshDesk Arcade as a way to motivate some of our team and introduce gamification to those motivated by a little healthy competition.I like the ideas of quests and points being assigned for actions completed as well as there being an individual champion across a number of areas as well as an overall champion.I’d love to hear some of your ideas on how you’ve used the functionality - do you have any pointers / things to consider?Also do you know of any plans to revamp this? The requirements for setting a quest seem a little limited / Having the levels labelled as Beginner all the way to Guru feels a little limiting I would like to be able possibly rename these in the future.Look forward to hearing your ideas.Thanks.

This is not consistent so I’m not sure how I am able to provide example.  However, we notice only sometimes when we close a ticket, the next case in the queue is then opened for us.  It wouldn’t be too much of an issue if the case was a new one assigned to the individual, but each time, it’s an older case assigned to another teammember.  

We are currently evaluating freshdesk and therefore have created a new office 365 mailbox which we have connected to the freshdesk. The setup is working quite well - incomming emails create a new ticket which can be answered within the freshdesk application. However I am now wondering if it is possible to reply to a customers ticket directly from the email client (outlook) without opening first the freshdesk application.I have observed that when I reply to a ticket message that my response will be added by freshdesk to the ticket history. But my response is not forwarded to the customer. Do I miss an important setting or is freshdesk just not thought to be used directly from outlook?  

Hello,I am creating a PO through the API based on a ticket. I can fill one custom value. It doesn’t matter if the custom field is on the ticket or the PO. However, when I try to do two, it fails.Do I have a separate entry for each entry, e.g. "custom_fields": {    "requestor": "{{ticket.requester.name}}"  }, "custom_fields": {    "shipping address": "{{ticket.shipping_address}}"  },or do it do it combined? "custom_fields": {    "requestor": "{{ticket.requester.name}}"    "shipping address": "{{ticket.shipping_address}}"  },

We have a customer which we frequenlty communicates with that runs another ticket system that appends a ticket number in the subject line (ie. [id:12345]. When we create a ticket and send an email to their ticket system we will get the reply from them but whenever we respond again, their ticket system fails to pickup on the thread since freshdesk didn’t update the subject row on the reply (like outlook would have). How can we get around this? I’ve looked in the API but it seems like we can’t get the subject of an incoming reply to a ticket. is that data not stored? Emil

Recently, for some unknown reason.  The spam folder now indicates there’s new spam.  This completely defeats the purpose of the Spam folder.  Why is this not an optional feature? When I reported this issue they said to come here and post it as an idea?   Makes no sense to me… SPAM is literally SPAM.  Why should we be forced to delete the spam daily when it was working as intended before this change?  I shouldn’t see a new indication of spam and think its a real ticket to work on.  Infuriating new update.

At the moment I have been having a very hard time to find tickets that involve a 3rd party. Mainly because freshdesk works 1-1. Meaning if I escalate a issue to a 3rd party which is in relation to a customer the ticket cannot be seen unless I go into that specific requester and find it or unless the ticket subject has the relevant company name. This is especially the case when you want to know the situation of a customer account. The natural thing to do will be to go into the company and see the timeline. however for cases where a 3rd party is involved, those tickets will be completely lost and anyone looking to see the situation (eg. customer success) will be oblivious.What is the most effective way to handle this?

I want to create an automation that runs on ticket creation from an outbound email, anytime any agent creates a new email. So in FreshDesk they click  [+]New --> New email.  This sends an email but it also creates a closed ticket.  I want the automation to trigger specifically for tickets created this way.I tried creating a workflow that runs when the ticket is created and the Source is outbound_email however this doesn't trigger when an email is sent.   We run a webhook on ticket updates, however no matter what I try as settings I cannot get one to run on outbound email tickets.

We are in process of integrating our calling widget within Freshdesk using an iFrame. So, is there any way we can resize that iFrame modal as per our requirement.
