Using Freshdesk

In my FreshService Sandbox that I am working in trying to do some automation we have some fields as shown in the pic I want to be able to download these attachments, but I cannot find a way through the API to access these, These are attached when the ticket is created and need to be in these specific fields.I can access the text in the field without issue, via API, but not the attachments. Is there even a way to do this via the API? I have tried everything I can think of without success.

If there a way to use a widget so the widget is always open and embedded in the middle of the webpageI would like it to be always open as it is on this website https://www.directline.com/car-cover/contact-usI can only place it bottom left/bottom right with a help buttonIf I try and use an iframe, it no longer appears bottom left or right, but the content does not load. 

I am on a free trial and i keep getting this error, what am i doing wrong?Error: Ember Data Request GET /api/_/collaboration/threads returned a 404 Payload (application/json) [object Object] It always shows up when i view tickets. Thanks all  

Hello  How can we customise the ‘Article Voting’ text (see below image for what I am referring to). We simply want to change the text to “Was this article helpful? Yes No”. Can you provide a Liquid snippet of code to get us started and we can achieve this ourselves from there.   Our existing liquid code for the Article View is just:         …..       <hr />            {{article | article_attachments}}        {{article | article_voting }}        </section> Also how can we customise the ‘Article Voting Feedback Form’? See the below image for what I am referring to. We want to change the text on this form and add different checkboxes. Can you provide a Liquid snippet of code to get us started and we can achieve this ourselves from there.   

Hi there, I tried to import some companies following your process in CSV, using the right format, the right headers but the mapping fails despite multiple attempts. With Hubspot I can import Excel files and the mapping is suggested (green = fields are identified and mapped, red = fields need to be mapped manually). That would be great to simplify this process and make it simple for all 😀  

Hi Team, I am getting multiple reponses as "Undelivered: Ticket Received" on my freshdesk a account for a client. Pls help to resolve. Thanks,Mansi ​@Daniel Söderlund ​@Nav_in ​@mbutler ​@Joshua.Lawrence ​@nick_marko 

HiI’m a Freshdesk ‘newbie’. We are using the platform as a helpdesk to manage some contract creation with our various clients. It’s useful to keep the audit trail of all the dialogue, search for past work etc. My question is actually simple. I have set up freshdesk to send notification emails to my preferred email address. I would prefer to manage the ticket dialogue with the customer via email, rather than login to the web URL.Is there a way that I can have a two-way dialogue via email (outlook) and the emails all drop into the ticket audit trail?If not, does Freshdesk have a desktop app that I can use to manage the tickets, rather than login to the web url?ThanksMark

Adding this to this particluar forum even though this is for Freshservice and not Freshdesk.  There doesn’t appear to be an API subforum for API in Freshservice?But anyway, I’m trying to update old tickets with summarized resolutions notes via API (yes, without Freddy) but haven’t had any success.  Has anyone had luck using API to update Resolution Notes in a ticket?  In Freshservice’ defense I don’t see any documentation about using the API in this way.  But I was hoping it’d be a simple matter of generating a body/json that looks like: {     “ticket”: {           “resolution_notes” : In order to fix this we had to use this 3 step guide”,           “resolution_notes_html” : <div dir="ltr">In order to fix this, we had to use this 3 step guide."</div>     }}The error I’m getting back indicates that it’s not an expected field saying “Validadtion failed” and listing the “resolution_notes”    I’ve tried with bypass mandatory and without.  Am I overlooking something simple in th

What are people doing when you have a customer that is acquired or merges and starts going by a new name?  I’m finding there is no way to Edit existing names or merge with other companies, like you can for contacts.I would love to hear what other Freshdesk users are doing.

How do others utilize Facebook within Freshdesk.  It is very nice how the twitter posts feed into the Social area and you can review without every tweet becoming a ticket.  Would be great if you could monitor Facebook posts in the same way without them becoming tickets.  I understand you can use the filter for key words but it would be nice to have a social media agent you can monitor the entire Facebook flow without leaving Zen.  THen being able to convert specic posts they see into tickets manually.Are there some marketplace apps that some have utilized that provide greater functionality with Facebook/Fresdesk in this way?  Would be nice to have it contained within Fresh and not having to leave to a third party app.

We are experiences issues with notifications on Incident cases where a Requester is also an Agent in FreshDesk.The Requester (Agent) updates a case with a public Note or answers an email notification from the case, however the other Agent assigned the case is not consistently receiving an email notification that the case has been updated with an answer. In some cases this works, in others it does not.I can see others have had similiar issues:I am not getting email notifications when a note is added by another agent | Freshworks CommunityPrivate Note Notifications missing for agent | Freshworks Community2 or more agents working on same ticket, Problem with notification when adding notes | Freshworks CommunityIs there a solution for this? A workaround? Perhaps a workflow that can be created?Thanks,Matthew 

My site has a side bar: Instead of displaying “related articles” which are rarely actually related, I’d like to display the Category/Folder list that the article is inside of.It’s the same view that is found on the Solutions Home page. However, if I just take the code from the Solutions Home Page and drop it into the article view, it doesn’t work. It displays nothing:<!--Display Categories and Folders --><section class="sidebar content rounded-6 fc-related-articles"> <h2 class="heading">{{ category.name | h}}</h2> <div class="cs-g-c"> {% for folder in category.folders %} {% if folder.entity_collection.size > 0 %} <section class="cs-g article-list"> <div class="list-lead"> {{ folder | link_to_folder_with_count }} </div> {{ folder | sub_folder_article_list:5 }} </section> {% endif %} {% endfor %} </div></section></section><!-- end -->How do I get this display from the category d

Configuring Email Notification templates is quite a tedious and time-taking process right now. This process could be made easier by adopting an Atomic design principle to save HTML signatures, buttons, greetings, and salutations as components so they can easily be selected and only the body text can be changed throughout different templates.I made the effort of copy pasting each HTML template throughout the different Email Notification categories, but the company logo URL in the signature has changed and in order to change that, I'd have to go to each template separately and change that.I hope you consider this request for a better User Experience.

Hi,I’m trying to use the Freshdesk-Slack integration..I added some new public channels to our Slack in order to redirect the notifications there, and when I’m trying to add these channels to the Access Public Channels, they are not in the list of choices.Any idea on what the problem might be?This is happening only with the public channels, if I create a private channel it appears in the Access Private Channels list immediately Thanks!

Hi, There’s a requirement to automate the reply message to the WhatsApp source ticket users having condition with description as some message. And this reply should be sent on WhatsApp, not to be sent as an email response to the WhatsApp ticket users. This is much much required since we have received so many same kind of requests from different users. It would be highly appreciated if we have a solution or work around for this.

Hello,We as a company have only recently started using Freshdesk following leaving an old ITSM solution. I can’t see anyone has mentioned this in the forums or from searches online so I thought I’d message here.We support a large number of schools for their IT issues, teachers are generally always teaching and they will say to us to contact them at say 12pm on Wednesday.In our old ITSM we could put the ticket on hold/pending and set it to open on a specific date/time by setting this in a field, the ticket would then change to an open state once that specific date/time is reached.I can’t see any way to do this in Freshdesk. I know you can use the To-Do list feature to set a reminder but this doesn’t take the ticket from a Pending state to an Open state, it just sits as Pending requiring the assigned user to set it as Open themselves. Is there a way for the To-Do list to automate this to set as Open? If this was possible then that would be a really good solution for usDoes anyone have an

Hi All, I was wondering if there is an app or something already built into freshdesk where i can post updates and possible screenshots to all agents to notify them of changes made to the helpdesk. New automation rules, added apps etc.

Hi,The last 4 weeks we get this error 3-4 times a week, but why…Every time I log into Freshservice to solve the issue, but there is no issue in Freshservice. So self healing - But why have it increased? Do Freshservice have a heartbeat monitoring towards O365, and the threshold is to low? (just guising) Do other have the same issue with increased number af mails about this matter, or are we alone on this?/HenrikE-mail we receive from Freshservice Support:Dear Admin,Your Freshservice custom mailbox “xwz” (xwz@xwz.xwz) is unable to send outgoing emails due to an unknown error.Despite our efforts, we were unable to re-establish a connection with your mail provider's server. This email is to notify you of this.What are my next steps?Please try again later. If the issue persists, contact your mailbox provider for assistance.Can Freshservice help me with this?Freshservice cannot help with this issue because this is a custom mailbox.

Does anyone know of an easy way to bulk update all requestor’s primary and secondary email addresses? I tried importing a CSV but every records errored out.

We’re using Zapier API calls to get the requester name and email address from the user ID, but when the object is returned everything is correct except for the email address it returns. The address has the domain removed and a :censored:xx:xxxxxx.com address. The receiving service will not take that format as a valid email address. Why is this being returned incorrectly and is there a setting in FS that can change this?

We’ve got a group that we want to stop using.Is there any best practice guidance on how to prevent the group from being used?I want the tickets to still show what group the ticket was in when it was worked.

Hi community,I'm trying to create a contact using the Freshsales CRM API, but I'm receiving the following error response: jsonCopyEdit{ "success": false, "message": "Freshsales API Error (400): Please add a valid account" } Here is the sample payload I am sending: jsonCopyEdit{ "contact": { "first_name": "John", "last_name": "Doe", "email": "john.doe@example.com", "mobile_number": "1234567890", "sales_account_id": 202002197374 } } I'm setting the sales_account_id to an existing account ID (confirmed from the Freshsales UI and API), but still getting this error. What I've Checked: The account ID 202002197374 does exist in my Freshsales instance. I can fetch the account details successfully via the /api/sales_accounts/[id] endpoint. The contact payload structure seems valid per Freshsales API docs. The API key and domain are correctly configured, and other endpoints are working. Tried using both string and number format for sales_account_id.

The ability to add icons to forum categories to make it consistent with solution categories.I think this would be a good UI change as currently if you have multiple forum categories the icons look like this :Forum stock icon I’d like to add icons like I have with my solution categories: Solution icon This would be a good UI change for the end user and keeps consistency throughout the knowledge base.
