Using Freshdesk

Hello, We, as many of you, are using a multilingual support portal. Our clients can submit their tickets on the support portal and we have been able to translate most of the content of how we wish to display the ticket fields to the clients in their own language. However regarding the field Status, which is a default field, we can translate the label Status, but the default list values “open, pending, resolved and cancelled” are not possible to translate. We have added our own custom values to the list, and for these we can translate. Below is what our language file looks like - as you see label and customer label (ie what is displayed to the customer) we can translate as well as choices 6 and 7, which are our own added values to the list. But the default “open, pending, resolved, closed” are not available for translation in the language file. status:        label: Status        customer_label: Status        choices:          choice_6: Waiting on Customer          choice_7: Waiting on

Hi,I cannot send any outbound emails. Have been seeing issues since last friday, this is major functionality that is not being resolved… I have tickets open, and they all say they are looping in team, What do I need to do? I set up DKIM, forwarding emails through freskdesk to my gmail, and it seems to work, then stop working.  I’m currently a trial user and it’s a bit troubling to see functionality like emails not working and wondering if I should look elsewhere for helpdesk. Thanks for any help on this.

We are hiding the custom fields in customer portal from the code.But the customer is changing the status from the customer portal. The fields are also hidden by our client with their own set of abstractions but we still end up facing this issue.Is there a particular solution to this query? If yes, do let me know of the same. 

Hi, My company is setting up Freshdesk and we’re currently on the free account. We set up our email to forward emails to the email address provided by Freshdesk. This works great. However, when we receive an email (new ticket) and I reply to it on my agent account they will receive my email fine. But if they reply to it again, I will never receive it in the ticket conversation: Customer sends email through helpdesk@abc.com I reply to the email (now ticket) on my agent account on Freshdesk Customer receives my reply and replies to the email again I never receive the reply of the customer in the ticketHow can I resolve this?

Hi,I’m trying to import a Google font adding an @import directive in the Css section of the user portal customization.The problem is that once I publish the new Css the @import url(‘https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=etc’) becomes @import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=etc');In other words, apostrophes are encoded.Is there a solution to this problem?

What the heck is going on?For the last 7 to 10 days our support site (FreshDesk) is going nuts.Something keeps changing our theme in strange and bazaar ways.Unfortunately, I didn’t set our site up originally, so we didn’t have our mods to the pages. It was based on the Vertio theme which of course is down and can’t be downloaded.Every time I have the site almost perfect it changes. Worse is that what I see (Refreshing Cache) isn’t what others on my team see when they access our site.I’m getting really upset with this as I’ve got far too many hours in making changes to our theme that keeps changing.  When I say changing I mean things like CSS getting changed. Sections I’ve complete blanked out like HEADER (I moved the code to portal home) re-appear but are yet different then what we had almost like it’s from another site or theme! Definitely not from our site!Around 2am I had pretty much everything the way I wanted it except a homepage graphic and modification to breadcrumbs.I’ve been v

Hello everyone,I was customizing the Portal Layout header HTML page and made a grave mistake of not saving the default code. Can anyone post the default coding if you have it in the comments down below or if you have a link where it has all the default codes? You would be a lifesaver! Thank you!

I haven’t been able to find much information about the To-do’s you can add on Contacts.  (A certain amount about of info about those on Tickets is available.) Without going to each individual contact, how can I find out what incomplete To-do’s remain associated with Contacts?  Both “my own” and as an admin across all agents.Is there a sense in which they can be assigned to agents, or are they immutably associated with the agent who created them?

Hello, we are workin on our customer portal but the translations in german are horrible. Is there any way how i can customize it by myself?   And the other question:  I find some lists of free Themes here but when i click them i get redirectet to the root directory of you support site. Are there any free themes in 2022 which i can download?  greetings David

I have an domain eg: example.freshdesk.com, we have 10 agents now, each agents have different API key, can we just pick one of the agent API key for doing integration in our backend like calling create ticket API, does this work for just pick one of the agent API key for the entire domain in Freshdesk, instead of we need to capture all the agent API key one by one for this entire domain.

Can someone tell me how to delete the initial contents of the forum?

Hi All, We have set up an automation like so to email customers who get in touch outside of business hours: But it is not sending. Is there anything else that needs to be done for these emails to be sent to the requester? Many thanks, SarahSeatPlan.com

We often deal with tickets where multiple contacts from the organization are included on the original email / ticket. During correspondence, it is not unusual for some of those who were originally cc’d on the ticket to respond to the thread.We use the “Agent Reply Template” to automatically fill in the {{ticket.requester.firstname}} which doesn’t always correspond to the person that we are replying to. The default “To” email remains locked to the original sender’s email address as well.Is there a way to use a placeholder for the contact / sender’s name instead of the requester name?For example, if john@customer.com emails a question and copies susan@customer.com. When an agent responds, the {{ticket.requester.firstname}} would correspond to John. Later, if Susan replies to the thread, and an agent responds to her latest email, {{ticket.requester.firstname}} would again correspond to John, not Susan. This added “friction” means either the response from the agent is oddly addressed or re

Hello there! I’ve been experiencing some issues concerning the Knowledge Base search bar. Some words we type in, although they’re part of article titles or bodies, they don’t bring those articles up in the search. This only happens in the customer portal. Is there any solution to this issue?  We also realized, that customers have to type exactly the word, in order to find the article. They have to type “permissions” instead of “permi”, not allowing to mistype or to type only half the word, this is just an idea, and imo would be a big improvement :)  Thank you in advance! Patrícia

Hi community,I am trying to delete a contact by using a wehbook automation in Freshdesk. When I know the ID of the contact, the webhook is working, example: /api/v2/contacts/123456, but I don’t know how to generalize for any contact ID. There is no contact ID on the placeholder list of Contactsand I have tried with /api/v2/contacts/{{id}} and /api/v2/contacts/[id]Neither of them delete the contact. What is the correct placeholder for the ID of the contact?Thank you

Hello,   Does anyone know how i can put a clock on tickets that have been set to pending.  I would like the ability to put a ticket on pending 9lets say cos a user has gone on holiday) but then set the time and date for when this ticket will come off pending and let the agent know.  i cannot see anything for this.  

Your documentation is not clear to add a button in the whatsapp template . Update the documentation . Feels very weird after subscribing for the paid version.

Hi,Currently there is a way for an automation that allows for Slack to push to a channel off of a breached SLA, however this is only possible in the legacy slack app.The legacy slack app only allows you to push to the first 200 channels it lists in the API, not necessarily the new channels that you add. So I would like this capability to exist in the newer slack app so I can actually access the new channels.

My specific need is to search for all the tickets that were closed on say, 1st June. - It would be really helpful to have this filter. Thank you.

Hi. Can’t seem to figure out a way to set tickets to automatically close after a period of time. What we’d like to actually do is the following. If we set a ticket to “Resolved”, we’d like the ticket to auto-close in 7 daysIs this possible? I am close with the workflow automator but I fall short with a timing function. Thoughts? 

Hey, Sorry if I am missing the obvious here but there has to be a way to embed the widgets (submission of tickets) onto a modern sharepoint site? Me and my team use sharepoints throughout our business and it would be really useful if we could embed the widgets so users can log tickets as they’re working in the environments.ThanksNick

We have a freshdesk account (free, not paid) and we have configured automation there. The rule is if a ticket is created from any of the domains, move them to this group and send an email to members of that group. But I have tested multiple times, and its not working. Even I dont see any rule that got activated when a ticket is received, from ticket activities tab. Can someone please help on this.?
