Using Freshdesk

We have 4 widgets embedded on 4 different websites, two of them as "simple contact form" and two as "advanced form with ticket fields". Now we want to change a simple widget and add another (dropdown) field. But the simple widget cannot be edited. And the extended contact form or the individual ticket fields (under "Admin - Ticket fields") cannot be edited without the changes also affecting the other two widgets. But this should not happen. Is it possible to define per widget which ticket fields should be used? Unfortunately, we have not found a simple way. I did a little search on the internet and it looks like yes it is possible, but only through "Admin - Portals". But we also have only one "Admin - Portal".Is there another way to simply add another field to the simple contact widget? We are no developer, so it would be very helpful if we can get a detailed step by step instructions on how to do that.Thanks in advance.

Is it possible to add a new page to an existing portal theme?  

How to merge contacts in bulk , Currently i need to merge contact one by one

hi all, newbie here, please do we know how to link a cognito form to freshdesk? ideally we want to auto assign the tickets to a specific group (team in freshdesk) to notify the appropriate people. Any help greatly appreciated, i have already created a test form in cognito forms with around 5-6 fields. i have inputted our general freshdesk email account address too but when i run a test sumission on cognito side, no ticket is raised, am i missing something? thanks in advance, Mike

A customer facing note - a reply/forward should definitely reopen the ticket. However, our private notes that we leave for ourselves, are very annoying when they reopen the ticket. Is there a way to disable this feature, without interrupting the public note that needs to reopen the ticket?

Hi, everyonefirst of all, sorry for my bad english and sorry in case the question has already been asked. I don't know how that means what I'm looking for, so I'll just call it a follow up ticket. I have the type offer in my tickets. if a customer requests an offer, we create a ticket and the ticket remains open until the customer has decided on the offer. if he refuses, the ticket is closed and everything is ok. But if he agrees, I don't know what the best solution is. it's mostly about hardware and a service. From my point of view, I should close the first ticket with the offer and create a second ticket for the installation. is there a way to automate this? that the ticket is closed, but another ticket is created from the closed ticket? or is it better to keep the open ticket and change the type of offer on order? I just think that the evaluation of the tickets will then be somewhat falsified.

Hello - I have around 15x groups in my Freshdesk instance. One of these groups has created an automation that issues a custom email notification on creation of a new ticket. They’d also like to create a 2nd rule that assigns a ticket to a particular agent, if a keyword is included in the title. BUT… it seems that whichever rule comes first in the queue, stops the next rule from working. How can we build multiple automations for a single group?Thanks,Alastair

Hi,I was wondering if there is any possibility to match, through an API or not, Tuya with FreshDesk. We want to centralize tickets coming from an app (using Tuya) in FreshDesk with the others tickets, coming from the website or social media ? What are the others possibilities that FreshDesk API can afford ?  Thanks

I reached out to support about this and was told to post this as an idea, however I found that this was already flagged 5 years ago as a bug - and treated as such. Yet this is still an issue in 2022.  Despite having an automation that marks a ticket as spam based on criteria (e.g description contains “unsubscribe”), the “Support Desk” iOS app continues to send push notifications for every single ticket. We find push notifications for real tickets absolutely vital, so we want to keep them on. We just don’t want to be bombarded with every single spam ticket that comes in. Surely this is a bug? Was it actually fixed 5 years ago? I'd appreciate a real answer from someone. Thanks.

Do we have the option to restrict agent to delete the ticket in the tickets and Trash.

Right now we can know how many open tickets inside Freshdesk, but from the total open tickets, how can we know / filter “total of open because of new ticket” and “total of open because of reopen”? Please advise.

Can someone help me change the Card Descriptions in the portal ?

Hello, how would we prevent the sending out of notifications(ticket created), when connecting our outlook account, for all the preexisting old emails, when first connecting to freshdesk via smtp/imap? Thanks

Hello, we are using the Help Widget in our Application to allow Logged In Users to create support ticket requests without having to leave the application. One of the topics they can create a ticket for is to report a bug they’ve encountered while using our application. When an error happens in our software, we create a Bug Report that allows our team to better troubleshoot the issue. So in the Help Widget, I created a multi-line form field to allow the User to paste the content of the Bug Report and send it.However, it seems that after a certain number of lines, the multi-line form field drops the remaining information. Since you run your own software platform you can imagine that when someone is trying to give details of what is happening, it’s rather inconvenient when they run out of space and you can’t get the full story.That’s exactly what is happening to us. When they paste the Bug Report text, we get the majority of the information but the most crucial data is being clipped and n

Hi all, I’ve tried many ticketing systems but I finally found my way to FreshDesk. I am building my own support portal for my product which uses the FreshDesk API to use its functionalities. The portal primarily focuses on creation, retrieving and updating tickets. But I also want my users to be able to reply. Now I am getting the error that I cannot use my admin API key to reply on behalf of a user as I am using an app-only way of implementation. I understand that I would need the assumption feature, which is only included from the Pro package on forward. I must say; that’s a big step for a pretty small company which is just starting up. I have to say I was a little disappointed seeing this simple and fairly common user delegation being limited by a plan… I am using the Growth plan. Now, I can just reply as the admin’s account (from which I am using the API Key). But now the user will still receive an email that the admin has replied to their ticket (which is not true). How can I disa

Hello, I have a scenario, where I want to send out an automated reply to a customer and include CC’d emails. When doing this through UI -it is done automatically, however if I use automation with trigger webhook towards api/v2/tickets/{{ticket.id}}/reply - it only sends email to contact in TO. Same happens if I use automation action “send email to requester” API definition has “cc_emails” that can be included in message json, but there’s no placeholder to populate this data into Automation. So, I’m wondering if there’s a way to send automated ticket reply and include CC’d emails included in original ticket.

Is it possible to make it so that an agent can delete only their own note (public or private)?

This seems like a simple issue that must have been addressed somewhere. Please let m know if it has.When we upload an image to a ticket on the app from an iPhone, it is saved as “HEIC” format. If you try to open that uploaded image in the ticket on an iPhone, it jumps to a browser, asks you to download the image and then doesn’t do anything. Are there any “hacks” out there?  Thanks in advance!

We are contacted by two different email distro’s and our trying to figure out how to send return REQUESTER NOTIFICATIONS from only one of the email distro’s?

Hi, We are looking at portal customisation and we would really like to display some custom fields from a user’s profile on the New Ticket page. I was looking at the available placeholders, and I am not sure if this is possible. For example, we can use {{portal.user.phone}} to return the ‘work phone’ field, I can’t see any placeholders that could return a custom field in a user profile. I just wondered if this was possible / any advice. Thanks!

I am looking for ticket templates that can be used for reference purposes.  If there is one, please let me know where I can find.
