Using Freshdesk

Hi! I am wondering if it is possible to retrieve the total lifetime ticket count using the Freshdesk API! I have only found one method, and it includes doing a for loop with page as the iterator, but this seems very inefficient to me, and it always results in me sending too many requests and getting no data back. Is there a simpler way to do this that does not cause too many requests to be sent and not using a for loop? Kind regards, Guy

Dear All,How to create a ticket field which permits to cc another contact ? Also, does a dynamic placeholder exists to show all the contacts in cc of a ticket? Kind regards,

In the freshdesk agent portal ticket view we can see the created by value but it's not available in liquid template or API We have tried the below liquid template but its not the correct one.{{ticket.from_email}}{{ticket.requester.email}} Can anyone know how to get the ticket 'created by' value? 

I’ve noticed that for some tickets, polling the Freshdesk API for all conversations is missing some conversations that we can see in the UI.I’m hitting /api/v2/tickets/[id]/conversations as per the following documentation:https://developers.freshdesk.com/api/#list_all_ticket_notesIs there some extra flag I should be specifying in the API call? Is there some reason certain conversations are visible in the UI but not through the API that I don’t know about? Or is this a bug in the API? 

Hi thereIn our company we do software releases.We create many tickets and Tag them with the name of the update so we know what has been included in that release.  In this case the tag we created for this release is called 22.1 Major Release In this example...What I want to do, is use the filters to display all the tickets that were included in our 22.1 Major Release After applying that filter I get 7 pages of tickets, which is great. But now I want to be able to search within those results to find the ticket. But this is not possible.  Surely it should be? Does anyone else think this should be possible or would find it good to have this searching ability available? 

Hi - we’re new to Freshdesk and I wanted to bring up some issues with the Search Bar here. If I’m missing something then please let me know.If I wanted to search for all tickets that have Tag1, but also NOT Tag2, that doesn’t seem to be possible. We have nearly a million tickets and sort of rely on this syntax.   It would be great if you could actually filter with conditional logic within the search bar itself instead of having to use the right-side panel. For example:          #CustomField:Value1 AND tag:MyTag1,MyTag2 AND created:[2021-02-01 to 2021-03-01]          I know that Help Scout and Zendesk offer this so I was surprised to see that this didn’t exist here.Does anyone have good workarounds for either of these? I tried to edit the URL directly for point 1 but nothing seemed to work.

Hi,My company receives requests from customers by filling in a submission form but due to certain laws we have to adhere to we cannot save this info and have to send these requests to our external email and then import them into freshdesk from the external email. Since the emails are all coming to the external email from our corporate email the default reply to in each ticket is the corporate email. The actual customers email is in the email body. Customer agents have to change this each time and it has become a real hassle. Is there any method to automatically get the customers email from the body and set this as the reply-to value.flow for better understanding Customer fills form and submit > corporate email server sends info as email body > external email > fresh desk

Yesterday (3/2/2021) filters would automatically update the page when selected. For example if you add or take away an agent in the filter list this it would refresh the page.  You now have to press apply filters to update this change.   Was this a deliberate change?

HIhaving issues with merging and what client can see verse internal agents can see on the ticket.Sometimes we get a response to an existing ticket but freshdesk creates a new ticket. I thought merging would be an easy way to fix that - but seems I am wrong.It seems the ticket that was merged is no longer visible to the customer (its only marked as closed as far as customer can see in their portal – not even that it was merged)But further the customer loses any visibility on that response that was in the ticket I merged into (as they can not see the merged ticket data it in the destination ticket as the system added it as a private note). Of course the agent can see it but its totally missing from the client view.I spoke to support and their feedback was However, the order of conversations is added in a chronological order and would appear the same way for the customer.My issue is it doesn’t,

We are looking for a new request ticket platform and love Freshdesk but the inability to create more dynamic ticket fields is a deal breaker for us. I want to make sure I’m not missing anything.I want the user to choose a Request type - Marketing, Systems, or People. This I can accomplish by adding a section to the Type Field. (This seems to Max out at 3 which may be an issue in the future). Once they Choose Marketing Then they would choose a request category (ie, Graphic design, Signage needed, social media post). Then based on the request category it would display a bunch of ending questions to get the details for that request. So if they choose Signage Needed then it would ask due date, dimensions, photo of the location, material etc. I am not finding a way to get past just that 2nd level of logic so before I scrap the idea of using Freshdesk I just want to make sure I’m not missing something and this is possible.Thanks in advance for any input!

In the FreshDesk automations for ticket update you can set triggers based on many fields being changed. Some of the fields eligible to be used in the trigger include custom fields but not all custom fields are included, what determines if a custom field can be used in the ticket update automation rules?In this case ‘Order’ is a text based non-conditional fieldit is available for use in the automation rules for ticket creation  But it does not appear in the list of trigger events

We have noticed that we stopped receiving agent email notifications on any (private or public) notes added to tickets. Researching our email account, we have found the last sent message out of the email account was in May of last year (Subject “Note Added” corresponding to the email template for notifications)We have a ticket open with Freshdesk support but all we keep hearing is that they have cleared the “block” and “nothing is showing in the logs”. Sorry, but it seems to me that this function seems to be broken as part of one of the updates or upgrades pushed as part of the software and no one from Fresh wants to research in depth of take responsibility for.We have found this to be very productive for agent use and communication and would like to see this fixed or resolved.Has anyone else seen this behavior within their Freshdesk instance?

Hello, My question is pretty simple. All I want to do is add new / required fields to Customer records, the same way that FD allows you to add custom fields to Tickets. We run a helpdesk for customers using financial analysis software, and we need a field for their Accounting Software for each Customer or each Company. Is there a way to do this within Freshdesk or does this comprise a feature request? thanksjackyjoy

Hi everyone, we noticed that the refresh arrow icon is not appearing on every ticket that was being updated. Is there any changes made or was this feature no longer working? 

Hello Community :) Everytime when I want to request a Ticket on my Freshdesk Page, I get Redirected to a page.That page says “We are sorry. You have been restricted from accessing this helpdesk page.”I dont know why its not working, can anyone help me? Cheers 

We have noticed that in the last couple of days there was somewhat of a feature added into Freshdesk. You can now scroll inside of a single answer or note. I’ve attached a Screenshot to clarify what I mean. I don’t mean to be rude but this is incredibly annoying and causes a lot of frustration, because when you open one of your tickets and want to scroll down or up and have the mouse cursor positioned somewhere in the middle, it sometimes gets “stuck” scrolling in the answer and not the complete Ticket. You then have to position your mouse cursor just between the answers and the Ticketdetails to be able to scroll. Everyone who works with our Ticketportal has already complained about this.Please please disable this or give us the option to enable/disable this!
