Using Freshdesk

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

Greetings all! We have another Freshdesk theme that we developed recently.Click here to preview this theme. The Nachos Freshtheme is a simple theme to launch your support portal. Highlight key information on the homepage and style the theme to match your brand. How did we customize this theme? Take a look at some sample designs below. The colors and style of each component are configured separately – allowing full flexibility to brand your Freshdesk Portal.  Header and Footer - Customize the header and footer, display your logo, change the background color, and include additional links. Hero Image – Showcase your portal with a hero image that represents your brand. The hero unit height can be adjusted as well. Custom blocks – These blocks are great to highlight key information on the portal homepage. Video blocks – Similar to custom blocks, these blocks are great to display product videos, how-to videos right on the portal homepage. Sample Designs - Check out some sample designs below

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.

I’d like to make a simple calculator type application in a Solutions article. I want to allow customers to be able to enter a couple fields in and I’d spit out an answer. I tried just adding some <script> </script> in with a simple call, but it just gets displayed as code.I want the JavaScript to execute instead of just being displayed.

Hi Please help me to understand if we have any functionality to highlight the open tickets whenever any response received with customer on ticket. Current Scenario: Whenever we have responded to a ticket and customer is responding, its changing state with customer responded but that moment user asked manager for approval and it's not related to us for act but after few hours, manager approved but we didn’t get to know that there is an update on tickets due to large number of pending tickets in queue (approx. 70 tickets) hence would like to enable feature if possible to bold such tickets whenever a response sent by users.

Hi Good day,I already toggle off the Google Login from the Security, Default Login Method. But still appearing on the login support portal page. Is it possible to remove  "CONTINUE WITH GOOGLE" Thank you in advance.

Hi,On the “Show Activities” feature on freshdesk, is there any way we can export those activities for all ticket within certain created time?Thank you

When forwarding questions to the Freshdesk address, our email server (united domains) does not transmit the sender email address of the questioner, but our own email address. Can I accept any settings so that I don't have to manually update the sender email address?

For some reason an old name is appearing on our support emails. How do we update this to the correct one? 

Hi,I’m on the Pro plan.We have a portal setup with the default language set to Dutch.We only have 1 language for the portal.The dutch portal comes with standard labels, I would like to modify them.Is there an easy way to do this without adding additional languages?Thx,Bernaert Dominique  

Hello everyone! I need to add a dropdown to my record view (for example to Contact view).But I would like that this dropdown would have items id’s; the generic dropdown field doesn’t have the option to add id to their items. Some one knows if its possible?‘Cause I’m developing a custom API, and I think that would be easier work with the options id of the dropdowns. Regards.

I don't get notifications when users create tickets.I have configured an email address in the email settings.

Hey, Is there any way to create a child ticket using an APIs? Or is there a way to create a ticket using the create ticket API and then link it to a parent ticket? For context, I want to build a workflow where I use the outbound email API to send an email. And then link that ticket to a parent ticket.
