Using Freshdesk

Hello Freshworks Community !! We just wrapped up Refresh North America 2025, where we unveiled powerful CX innovations designed to help your teams support customers better, resolve faster, and scale with confidence. Here’s what’s new: Freshdesk Omni with the Command Center The Command Center brings together conversations from across channels, context, and intelligence into one centralized workspace.

Hello, I am currently redesigning our user portal and service catalog.Is there any way to create, within a service request, a dynamic list that automatically suggests and provides access only to users belonging to specific groups, based on the requester's groups or other requester attributes?

I was having weird effects with seemingly random keyboard shortcuts being activated. After weeks of aggro I finally happened to look at the list of shortcuts and realized why - they use a combination of normal letters without an interrupt key. No ALT or CTRL. So being a fast typist kicks off a shortcut any time I type a ‘g’ and then another letter after it. This particularly happens when typing a reply to a customer and I often lose a bunch of what I had typed. Blecch. My only workaround for this is to disable the shortcuts entirely.It would be really nice to be able to use some shortcuts. Could they be changed to properly use an interrupt key? Or be modifiable by user?

When I did a test e-mail, I got a ticket on the support page and not in the general freshdesk. Why is that and how do we only get tickets from customers in the general freshdesk?

Sometimes when I type in the ticket response, random letters insert random words. It doesn’t happen all the time, and closing the freshdesk tab and reopening it makes it go away… for a little while. I’ve tried turning off extensions, different browsers, etc.. It’s driving me crazy

I am trying to gather specific information on our Freshdesk tickets via API. It seems there is no way to actually get the activities (such as closed via a scenario automation rule) of a ticket via API unless you create a report and export it (Example: https://support.freshdesk.com/en/support/solutions/articles/226460-export-ticket-activities-from-your-helpdesk). This will not work for my needs. However, I feel like certain fields could be useful for our reporting needs, such as Closed By or Resolved/Closed Reason (per agent, automation, per customer, etc…). Unless I’m missing something in the API documentation, I’m not seeing any fields similar to these as part of the ticket API. I know I can get Resolved At and Closed At by using “/api/v2/tickets?include=stats”, but that only includes dates and not who closed the ticket and potentially why it was closed. Is this possible with the current API?

I go about my day answering tickets and after a few, I run into a bizarre problem. When I type, random words replace the letters I am typing. The words are completely random and don’t have anything to do with anything I’ve previously typed. Even the backspace key triggers a word. It only happens in the Freshdesk window. If I close the tab and reopen, the problem goes away… for a while. I’ve tried disabling extensions, different browsers. I just can’t figure it out.

I’ve an ask. I want system to create a new ticket when customer responds on closed or resolved ticket after 15days. This is an urgent ask

When allocating a ticket to an internal group (using the shared ownership feature) you can use that group’s automatic assignment rules to pick a suitable agent - just like when a new ticket is created.  However if the group includes collaborators this breaks down because collaborators cannot set their availability.It almost seems like it *should* be possible, because they have a checkbox in the dashboard when you look at available agents.  However, if you check their box it has no effect (unlike with full agents) and is cleared again if you refresh - so it looks like the UI is the same for agents/collaborators alike, but there’s no field to be set for collaborators.I think I could work around this with some home-grown automations, but I’m sure this would put more load on the Freshdesk server than doing it natively using the facilities already in place.  Is there any reason why collaborators cannot have availability, or perhaps a setting I’ve missed which means they can?

Hi,it is possible to set a customer can see the tickets of other customers associated with the same company?EG customer AA (Company XX’s director) can see his ticket and also customer’s BB ticket (same company)

This seems like a simple issue that must have been addressed somewhere. Please let m know if it has.When we upload an image to a ticket on the app from an iPhone, it is saved as “HEIC” format. If you try to open that uploaded image in the ticket on an iPhone, it jumps to a browser, asks you to download the image and then doesn’t do anything. Are there any “hacks” out there?  Thanks in advance!

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.

I would like to assign several companies to a contact because he is in charge of them. I used to be able to link multiple companies when creating a contact. Now it is no longer possible. Has something been adjusted ?

Hi Guys, please i need help with creating a new ticket if a requester responds to a closed ticket. Is there anyways this is possible or has someone done this before?

Hi,I’ve created a ticket form with many of customs fields, all of them are linked with a newly created ticket.In addition I have a few fields in the form (phone, telegram id, job title etc) which have to be linked with a user, not with a ticket. How to add information from these “user” fields to the Contact details?Thanks

I recently faced the same challenge and started exploring different Dubbing AI tool. After testing several platforms, I found Dubbing AI to be one of the most efficient and accurate solutions out there. It uses advanced AI voice cloning, translation, and lip-syncing to make your videos sound natural in over 150 languages.What I like most is that it maintains your original voice tone and style, so the result feels completely authentic. For anyone creating educational, business, or entertainment videos, Dubbing AI makes global content creation super easy and affordable.

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
