We utilize the Freshdesk here at CEVS, but curious, is there any way that it would update in “real time” instead of having to reload the page? Thanks for any words of wisdom! Connie HeinrichsColdwater Schools

Is there a way to view REST API usage data for an account for a given time period? The only way I know this is possible today is to check the `X-RateLimit-Total` and `X-RateLimit-Remaining` response headers.

I am struggling trying to figure out what is a bug, and what is just not available in the free version.   The canned email for resolved tickets in the free version states that the ticket will reopen on reply.   I tested this and it does not reopen the ticket.    So, is that a bug or just something that is not available in the free version?

There are usual situation, when during the conversation requester change subject and this reply is in the initial ticket, how to answer correct for this type of response? Because now, when we answer, the answer does not take into account the last response because of different subjects.

I don’t want to reopen closed tickets.If costumer replies to a cloded ticket the platform should create a new one. How can I configure Freshdesk to have this behaviour?

Hi,I begin with freshwork and my agents are used to archiving certain important tickets in folders. They can thus create and delete folders as on mailboxes. How can we do that with freshwork?Thanks

Is it possible to schedule or delay the responses to the TICKETS for the start of the next business hours?AttnGustavo Santa

Hi  I was looking for if there is a way to achieve below two things  Search faq articles from knowledge base with some filter in it . For example if i have multiple products whose FAQs are stored in the same account and i want to use the search API of FAQs using some filter that will only fetch FAQs with that particular filter ( I saw that Fresh-chat mobile SDK offers this as solution but does not have APIs associated with it)  2 . Use FD knowledge base similar to how FC knowledge base is created in SDK (with all the filtering capabilities that they have )

Hello,  We have a number of custom fields in the companies table that return successfully via the API. Recently we added a new custom field and it is not returning any values through the API https://companyname.freshdesk.com/api/v2/companiesThe new custom field was added 3 weeks ago.Any ideas as to why the new field may not be coming through?ThanksMatt

If an agent opens a ticket on behalf of a customer it should already be marked as responded for SLA tracking purposes. Currently it sits awaiting agent response in accordance with the priority number.  In other words it is awaiting a response that already happened by virtue of the agent having opened the ticket and and placed the customer as the contact. The agent should NOT then have to follow up with an empty response just to meet the SLA.  This obviously would be different from tickets generated from automation and only apply to a self-assigned tickets manually opened by the agent.  If it were re-assigned to a different agent then the clock should start for a response. 

Can you tag (associate) an article to a particular ticket form so this information is presented to customer on the particular ticket form page.

We were having trouble with the formatting in our canned responses (font/size changes, random paragraph spacing) that was unfixable in the Freshdesk canned response feature, so I copied our CRs and pasted them into Word to fix them, then repasted back into Freshdesk. All seemed to have worked great, except that now when we hit send on a canned response, our response shows up in a white box. I have manually selected the text in the canned response editor and made sure the background was #FFFFFF, which should be transparent. How can we fix this?  

Help! We have requirement for multiple ticket forms - ie 20. Each has bespoke ticket fields in them. Ie one might have a drop down ticket field callled “Certificate Type” and the other might have a drop down field called “Historic Type”. These are bespoke terminology to our business and customers. Do I have to create a ticket field for each one? I have done a few forms now but we have so many ticket fields I am sure I am doing something wrong and there is a better way to do it? Our agents have to also close down all these fields.

Hey community, Hope you can help me theme my password reset page?I cannot see the option to in the portal theme settings and its not listed at https://support.freshdesk.com/en/support/solutions/articles/50000003754-understanding-themes-to-personalize-your-customer-portal-appearance Does this mean we cannot apply themes to password reset pages?  

How do I sort and filter tickets by Subject in Freshdesk? There doesn’t seem to be an option for either in the user interface.

Hi. Coming into a company using FreshService and then I was made aware of FreshDesk but not quite understanding what I should be using.  We do not use change/release/project management.  We DO use asset management.  Asset management is not in FreshDesk, is that accurate? We do use and have plans to use Workflow Automator within Service heavily.  I see that FreshDesk has something similar but is it a dumbed down version or the same?  Are analytics the same? Not a fan of having some features in one but some in the other when really, one product seems to make the most sense and it looks like it is taking advantage of customers.

In this example, the customer inputs into three fields, LM/Use/IRN.  They can add as many as they like by adding another line. Can I have any suggestions for how this information could be captured in a ticket form? 

I have multiple teams split within an instance via sections. This is so that they can have individual ticket fields by team.Currently, I have a Dropdown within a team section. I would like a solution that allows me to have a Single-line Text Box appear conditionally if the value of the Dropdown is equal to ‘Other’Usually, I would use sections to arrange, however you cannot have sections within sectionsSince I require a Single-Line Text Box, I also cannot use a Conditional Field to resolve this Any ideas on how this can be created? Or an alternative? I have a pro license

Hi,we use tags a lot and it would be nice if the Freshdesk tickets list showed more than three tags at a time. Can this be configured somewhere?
