Using Freshdesk

Hello,We have a lot of customer that do not want to be bothered by emails when we create a ticket. Still, we need to keep track of the customer requesting the service / ticket.We would like to have a modifiable company field on ticket, but this is not possible apparently.A typical workflow on our side is:a customer calls sales to add something to their subscription the sales guy create a freshdesk ticket to manage additional delivery and so on the customer will follow up with the sales guy through phoneIn this workflow the ticket requester is our sales guy and we have no idea (except in the ticket description) for which this ticket is for, because there is no "Company" or "Customer" field we could manually set up.Any idea to improve this workflow ?thanks

Hi, does anyone know if you can reply from a ticket in freshdesk via freshchat? without having to actually go into freshchat and typing the message.  We will not be using email as a form of communication with our customers due to security concerns, everything will be done via our in-app chat and freshchat so email is a no go.  We will have back office teams who will be dealing more complex issues but they wont have access to send responses via freshchat.  I have received conflicting information from freshdesk support, Ive been told this is possible via an automation API and triggering a webhook but i have also been this isnt possible by another.  If anyone can offer any solutions or ideas that would be much appreciated, many thanks  

Title says it all. Is there any way to identify in an automation rule which widget the newly created ticket comes from and to react accordingly ?Thanks, David

Hello, I am James from Chicago. I'd want to change the default Freshdesk theme and add a background image to the search bar.How am I going to do that?

Hello,I am dealing with a problem right now related to the API functionality of Freshdesk. In our application it's possible to add a note to a ticket, this sends a HttpRequest through the API functionality Freshdesk offers.The problem is that whenever a regular user of the platform tries to add a note to a ticket, the request will be denied. (403 error). They are supposedly not allowed to do this, meanwhile customers are able to do this in the customer portal of Freshdesk.The problem above only occurs when adding the UserID as a parameter. If I omit that then the note will get added succesfully, altough there won't be a source of whom added the note. The issue also doesn't show up if the acting user adding the note is also an active agent inside Freshdesk.What can I do here to let customers add notes through the API?I don't think this shouldn't be allowed since customers are able to add notes to tickets through other sources, like e-mail or from the customer portal.For what it is worth

Hello,how are you?I would like be able to route Whatsapp tickets to different groups based on different numbers through automations.  Example I have 2 whatsapp numers in frshdesk support, I would like that every single ticket created in number 1111111111111 to be assigned to group #1 and every single ticket created in the number 222222222222222 to be assigned to group #2.  

HiHow do I set up a automated time trigger rule to close ticket that had no movement on them for >60 days.It seems any ticket that had no movement on them for longer than 30 days is not being considered for and of the timed automation rules.Note: I am aware of a app like bulk update light. I am looking for a fully automated solution that I can set up and leave to run.Thanks

Do you have any reports you can generate to track these Arcade points and badges?How do I see who has won each month or how many points are missing for certain missions?why not also consider Freshchat?

I’m wondering whether it is possible to report on a dependent field, inside a ticket type section.So at the moment, we have the default ticket field ‘Type’ with an ‘IT Support’ option. Selecting ‘IT Support’ displays the ‘System’ section, which contains a dependent field for all of our different systems, and then sub-categories of those systems, etc.Is it possible to create a widget which would display ticket volume for each of those systems, and then let us drill down into the subcategories etc.? Has anyone had any luck with this?

In workflow when a status is selected then in actions, a email generation to 3rd party is not available, Example, when status is escalation then action option to send an email out ( to service provider/ product vendor)   

Hi, We use Omniroute for ticket assignment, we have set a maximum ticket limit to 15, however, Agents can sit with less than this number for a short while. How long does it take to refresh / update so that when the Agent is below the maximum it will assign new tickets? Thanks

Hello everyone! Is there a way to automatically assign the requestor of a ticket based on the currently logged in user? Our Freshdesk system is for internal use only so all requestors have a login to the portal.  Can we pre-populate the requestor field with the logged in user name?Thanks!Mike

Hi everyone Hope you are doing well. I need your help for this issue: I need to connect to an API, this API is private and you can connect with the API using the authorize domain wich I provide to the owner of the API ( in this case the authorized domain is my instances of Freshdesk Omnichannel ). Now my question is: To connect with this private API i need to put the url domain of the API and the url of my instances in the whitelist domain to indicate that the request will be from my instance. Is that right ?Once again thank you so much for your help.Regards

Hi -I’m doing a query to find all tickets that have NOT been updated for several days.Per the V2 API documentation, I’m using the following query (replacing domain with ours, and encoding the URI - but I’m showing the unencoded version here for clarity):https://<domain>.freshdesk.com/api/v2/search/tickets?query="(status:2 OR status:3 OR status:6 OR status:7 OR status:9 OR status:17 OR status:18 OR status:20 OR status:22 OR status:23) AND (updated_at:<'2021-12-01')"The encoded version is:https://<domain>.freshdesk.com/api/v2/search/tickets?query=%22%28status:2%20OR%20status:3%20OR%20status:6%20OR%20status:7%20OR%20status:9%20OR%20status:17%20OR%20status:18%20OR%20status:20%20OR%20status:22%20OR%20status:23%29%20AND%20(updated_at:<%272021-12-01%27)%22&page=However, in the results I’m getting tickets that have been updated on 12/2, 12/3 and 12/4 so it does not seem to be honoring the updated_at and less than/before operator.Help? 

We are using the Freshdesk as our support portal and have some queries regarding the filters available from the customer end.Our customers have requested that they should be able to filter out the tickets according to ‘Feature requests’ and ‘Support cases’ on their end.We have reviewed the configuration and were planning to add a ‘feature request’ type field in the ticket details. The type field will be displayed to the customers while creating a new ticket and they would be able to select whether the ticket is a feature request or a support case.No filter available at the customer's end to filter out these ‘feature request’ tickets separately when they view all their tickets.Could you please confirm if there is any other better way to achieve this requirement? Can you consider this a enhancement request to add type filter on support portal?

Hello @all,i would need some help with an automation rule that forwards the last public comment (or reply) with real attachments, if any, from a child ticket to a parent ticket.I got it to work but what i have problems with are the attachments. If i use {{ticket.last_public_comment}} as a placeholder i get the last comment and links to the attachments if there were any. If i add {{ticket.attachments}} nothing changes. This placeholder seems to do nothing.Isn´t there a way that i get real attachments forwarded? Is there another placeholder that i don´t know of? This is  what i have so far: Thanks for your help!

Hi, I have a setup where multiple agents are all using the same project email address. Still, we do want to make a distinction between the agents and assign tickets to specific agents. However, it seems that every agent needs to have a separate email address inside Freshdesk. Is there a way to solve this and use the same email address for multiple agents?thank you,Roger Leenders

Hello,We are subscribing Freshdesk through an official reseller. We have no access to the API Key page.Our reseller provided us a key associated with a user, but we cannot perform any operation with the key if the user is not connected.Having used Freshdesk before, directly subscribing to Freshdesk, any user API key could be used even if the user is not logged in Freshdesk.Is this correct ? Is it an expected behavior of a user key generated by a Freshdesk reseller ?thanksMarc
