API end point for requested items

I have an API which successfully extracts all FreshService tickets and inserts them into a SQL database table.I now need an extra column which is located on requested_items. I tried to access this data with an API call for each ticket. This worked but blew out the daily maximum API calls when I tried to process thousands of tickets.api/v2/tickets/'+str(row["id"])+'/requested_itemsSo I am now trying to extract all requested_items for a time period and insert then in a SQL database table. Later, in the reporting layer, these tables can be joined to show all requested_items for a set of tickets.Can you please tell me how to code the API to extract all requested_items for a time period?Does this endpoint exist?something like : api/v2/requested_items    ??

Emails sent from our platform with Freshdesk support email in "Reply-To" doesn't reach to Freshdesk

Hi,We want to connect some of the emails that are sent from our platform to the Freshdesk threads using `Message-ID` header. The problem is when we put Freshdesk inbox email to reply-to address, the email doesn’t appear in Freshdesk at all. Here is an example of the flowWe send an email to the client from Freshdesk similar to below From: freshdesk-support@company.comTo: client@email.comCc: platform@subdomain.company.comSubject: Some subjectBody: Email messageThen, our platform parses the email and stores the Message-ID headers and send the following email From: platform@subdomain.company.comTo: client@email.comCc: freshdesk-support@company.comReply-To: freshdesk-support@company.comIn-Reply-To: Initial message IDReferences: Initial message IDSubject: Reminder for some subjectBody: Another email messageand this email reaches to client but doesn’t reach to Freshdesk. When we remove “Reply-To” everything works fine.What could be the reason of this issue and how we can solve it?I’d apprecia

Freshdesk - Apps - Microsoft Teams

When first configuring the Teams app integration, it let me select a team and channel but never let me configure the channel notifications.  I removed the integration, team and channel. I then added the integration back, created a new team and channel and get the same error I was getting before when I couldn’t configure the channel notifications. Attached is the error message I recieve. I’ve been trying to get this working for a couple weeks now with the same errors.I’ve tried it on multiple PCs, different browsers and all from different locations.Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Freshdesk agent view of tickets customization question about contact details

I would like to customize the fields shown in the contact details side panel when agents look at tickets. Is this possible? Here is my use case, I have all my users in the contact list and I have extra fields for them, such as what department they works in - say HR, Finance, Stores etc. and another field is what building they work in. Now I would this to be visible when I look at a ticket in the Contact details side panel - e.g. this screenshot. Some of this is visible when you press on view more info, but this is an extra step and should not be needed.Karl

Freshdesk Support Completely Unresponsive

This is going to be a little bit rant-y, but I’m very frustrated with Freshdesk Support. I have submitted 2 different support tickets to Freshdesk support requesting help with a variety of issues over the last 7 days and have currently heard nothing on either one. This is particularly frustrating because on day 5 I resubmitted the first ticket to freshsales support instead and received multiple responses plus a resolution within 24 hours. Presumably these are two different team of people who are likely working completely remote from each other but the Freshdesk support is frankly bordering on embarrassing at this point. Not to mention I now have a third open ticket that appears to be intended for an internal sales agent to reach out to us and try to up-sell or otherwise “close the upgrade” in our plan. I can’t tell if whoever is running that support is clueless or what is going on but if our company wasn’t so set on using Freshdesk this would definitely be enough to get us to consider

Freshdesk and Salesforce Connector - Create Lead Form

Looking to get some advice. I connected Salesforce Connector to our Freshdesk. My goal is our Support reps take their Freshdesk ticket and create a Lead in Salesforce. I go to the ticket, I click on the Salesforce Connector and click on Create Lead. The Lead Form that pops up consists of every (over 100) field that are in our Salesforce. And I would have to scroll through all of them and fill out the needed ones and create the lead. All I really need are a few fields that are required for a Lead to be submitted. When I go to the Salesforce Connector App, I see under Widget Settings, under Lead fields, I just have Full Name, Email, and Company. But still when actually using the app, the Lead Form that comes up is essentially unusable due to how many fields it displays. How can I configure the Lead Form in Freshdesk to only display fields that I need?

Custom Ticket Views in Protal

I have multiple ticket forms two of which are used for Feature Requests and System Bugs.  We share a list of all of the Feature Requests and bugs with our customers and I was hoping I could just build a custom ticket view and surface that in the portal.  That way it is always up to date.  This seems like quite a basic feature for a support portal but not something that Freshdesk portal currently offers which means I am going to have to resort to a manual process of keeping an article up to date.   I appreciate that Forum topics could be used to manage the above but that doesn’t work for us as we replicate bug tickets in DevOps and used Freshdesk to manage our roadmap items.Anybody found a workaround for this? Ok, so cannot update title…. “Portal”

Fresh Service shows agent as available for auto-assign by they are actually unavailable due to idle session in portal

I’ve been working with FS support on uneven auto-assignment of tickets. An example of this is that 5 agents show as available, but the same agent was assigned to the only two tickets in the pool that were entered that day (this pool is only for classroom emergencies, so is not high volume) . This happened a couple of times.FS Support shared with me that this could be caused by the agent having a session designated as “idle” in the portal. In that case: “The agent appears active in the logs but remains inactive in the portal, which the system interprets as an idle session (Please note that this is not reflected in the logs). As a result, the agent is marked as unavailable, preventing ticket assignments to them”This means that the availability widget shows the agent as available, but they actually aren’t and there’s no way to accurately get this information. I was pretty surprised that this was intentional design.So I am looking for a way around this or a way to set up my own auto-assign

Concerns regarding the Hep Center (knowledge base) automationDark Mode Theme: a. Does Freshdesk offer a dark mode theme option? If yes, guide on how to enable it. b. Are there any plans to introduce a dark mode theme for the platform? c. Do we need to install any version for it? Font and Spacing Customization: a. Is it possible to customize the font style and size within the support articles? If so, what customization options are available? b. Can we adjust the spacing between lines or paragraphs in the support articles? If yes, how can we make these adjustments? Related Article Suggestions: a. How does the platform determine the related article suggestions that appear at the end of each support article? b. Is it based on keywords of the primary article, tags, or other factors? Please provide details on the algorithm used to generate these suggestions. It would be great if you can help me with the link and proper navigations regarding the above concerns. Thank You

Google stopped indexing my pages of the customer portal because of alternate with canonical tag.

I have been working on a customer portal last year and everything was working fine after publishing it (the SEO was great!) One month ago I stumbled upon the analytics and saw that they dramatically decreased. The organic traffic was very small because Google was slowly taking down our solution articles (400+) and only 8 of them were still indexed.Most of the pages are in status discovered/crawled but not indexed. I checked in various threads and forums and it looks like it is because the main landing page has a wrong canonical defined. https://assistenza.zanichelli.it/support/home has this canonical declared: (https://assistenza.zanichelli.it/support/solutions). I define the canonical dynamically on the header so I don't have a way to manually specify the canonical for the main landingpage. <link rel="canonical" href="{{ meta.canonical }}">All the other article pages have a proper canonical (dynamically generated) but it looks like since the indexing of the main page fails, Goog

Implementing ReverseProxy for portal gives out endless 403s

Hello dear engineers,We are implementing a reverse proxy solution so that, upon migrating from our current FAQ to the FreshDesk hosted one, we can support the validation of all historical links and still serve new content.At first, it all worked well, but progressively we started seeing more and more “403 Forbidden” errors intermittently. This means that pages could either load, not load, or partially load.I suspect that, since now all of our traffic will be coming from a single location, it is possible we have been flagged as potential offenders by your networking strategy.Would it be possible to either confirm/infirm the above? I can provide you with our IP address to be whitelisted for this behaviour to go away.Thank you very much for any help you can provideRegardsKevin
