Using Freshdesk

In my FreshService Sandbox that I am working in trying to do some automation we have some fields as shown in the pic I want to be able to download these attachments, but I cannot find a way through the API to access these, These are attached when the ticket is created and need to be in these specific fields.I can access the text in the field without issue, via API, but not the attachments. Is there even a way to do this via the API? I have tried everything I can think of without success.

I am on a free trial and i keep getting this error, what am i doing wrong?Error: Ember Data Request GET /api/_/collaboration/threads returned a 404 Payload (application/json) [object Object] It always shows up when i view tickets. Thanks all  

Hi there, I tried to import some companies following your process in CSV, using the right format, the right headers but the mapping fails despite multiple attempts. With Hubspot I can import Excel files and the mapping is suggested (green = fields are identified and mapped, red = fields need to be mapped manually). That would be great to simplify this process and make it simple for all 😀  

Adding this to this particluar forum even though this is for Freshservice and not Freshdesk.  There doesn’t appear to be an API subforum for API in Freshservice?But anyway, I’m trying to update old tickets with summarized resolutions notes via API (yes, without Freddy) but haven’t had any success.  Has anyone had luck using API to update Resolution Notes in a ticket?  In Freshservice’ defense I don’t see any documentation about using the API in this way.  But I was hoping it’d be a simple matter of generating a body/json that looks like: {     “ticket”: {           “resolution_notes” : In order to fix this we had to use this 3 step guide”,           “resolution_notes_html” : <div dir="ltr">In order to fix this, we had to use this 3 step guide."</div>     }}The error I’m getting back indicates that it’s not an expected field saying “Validadtion failed” and listing the “resolution_not

How do others utilize Facebook within Freshdesk.  It is very nice how the twitter posts feed into the Social area and you can review without every tweet becoming a ticket.  Would be great if you could monitor Facebook posts in the same way without them becoming tickets.  I understand you can use the filter for key words but it would be nice to have a social media agent you can monitor the entire Facebook flow without leaving Zen.  THen being able to convert specic posts they see into tickets manually.Are there some marketplace apps that some have utilized that provide greater functionality with Facebook/Fresdesk in this way?  Would be nice to have it contained within Fresh and not having to leave to a third party app.

My site has a side bar: Instead of displaying “related articles” which are rarely actually related, I’d like to display the Category/Folder list that the article is inside of.It’s the same view that is found on the Solutions Home page. However, if I just take the code from the Solutions Home Page and drop it into the article view, it doesn’t work. It displays nothing:<!--Display Categories and Folders --><section class="sidebar content rounded-6 fc-related-articles"> <h2 class="heading">{{ category.name | h}}</h2> <div class="cs-g-c"> {% for folder in category.folders %} {% if folder.entity_col

Configuring Email Notification templates is quite a tedious and time-taking process right now. This process could be made easier by adopting an Atomic design principle to save HTML signatures, buttons, greetings, and salutations as components so they can easily be selected and only the body text can be changed throughout different templates.I made the effort of copy pasting each HTML template throughout the different Email Notification categories, but the company logo URL in the signature has changed and in order to change that, I'd have to go to each template separately and change that.I hope you consider this request for a better User Experience.

Hi,I’m trying to use the Freshdesk-Slack integration..I added some new public channels to our Slack in order to redirect the notifications there, and when I’m trying to add these channels to the Access Public Channels, they are not in the list of choices.Any idea on what the problem might be?This is happening only with the public channels, if I create a private channel it appears in the Access Private Channels list immediately Thanks!

Hi, There’s a requirement to automate the reply message to the WhatsApp source ticket users having condition with description as some message. And this reply should be sent on WhatsApp, not to be sent as an email response to the WhatsApp ticket users. This is much much required since we have received so many same kind of requests from different users. It would be highly appreciated if we have a solution or work around for this.

Hello,We as a company have only recently started using Freshdesk following leaving an old ITSM solution. I can’t see anyone has mentioned this in the forums or from searches online so I thought I’d message here.We support a large number of schools for their IT issues, teachers are generally always teaching and they will say to us to contact them at say 12pm on Wednesday.In our old ITSM we could put the ticket on hold/pending and set it to open on a specific date/time by setting this in a field, the ticket would then change to an open state once that specific date/time is reached.I can’t see any way to do this in Freshdesk. I know you can use the To-Do list feature to set a reminder but this doesn’t take the ticket from a Pending state to an Open state, it just sits as Pending requiring the assigned user to set it as Open themselves. Is there a way for the To-Do list to automate this to set as Open? If this was possible then that would be a really good sol

Hi All, I was wondering if there is an app or something already built into freshdesk where i can post updates and possible screenshots to all agents to notify them of changes made to the helpdesk. New automation rules, added apps etc.

Does anyone know of an easy way to bulk update all requestor’s primary and secondary email addresses? I tried importing a CSV but every records errored out.

We’re using Zapier API calls to get the requester name and email address from the user ID, but when the object is returned everything is correct except for the email address it returns. The address has the domain removed and a :censored:xx:xxxxxx.com address. The receiving service will not take that format as a valid email address. Why is this being returned incorrectly and is there a setting in FS that can change this?

We’ve got a group that we want to stop using.Is there any best practice guidance on how to prevent the group from being used?I want the tickets to still show what group the ticket was in when it was worked.

Hi, I have created a new Service Category in the in service catalogue in Freshservice but it is not showing in the customer portal? Is there a limit to the number of service categories I have 16 plus the “All Service Items” header.many thanks

HelloI have a website and I'm interested in a special form of Paniotatz for customer service that currently reaches me to the email defined in freshdesk, so using webhooks the customer will receive a return message to WhatsApp or the email he entered. But I encounter a problem when I try to create an automation, I don't get a proper URL link to put them on my website or on WhatsApp, how do I create this link?

Hi Freshdesk Support,I’m unable to edit or add a background image or icon in Freshdesk, even though I have Organization Admin permissions. Currently, I can edit the HTML/CSS and pages, but I can't find any option to add a background image or icon to my portal.At the moment, I'm using icons from the default Freshdesk data. The image “Picture 1” shows the option I’m looking for, while “Picture 2” shows my current theme editing workspace.Could you please advise how I can enable or access these options?Thank you.

Hi,When a customer submits a ticket via the Customer Portal Form, then for us it is necessary to get his/her phone number and address. Fundamentally the phone and address data are part of the Contact record.Therefore I do not want to create additional custom fields for them, because they would be duplicated this way. What is the best way to collect such data via the Customer Portal Form, even if the data will not be populated with the built-in contact fields used for the same purpose. Thank you for your suggestions!

Creating this thread on behalf of ​@Karel_Vlček ‘s behalf who raised this in the discussion:  In ​@Karel_Vlček ‘s own words -  I would like to analyze the behavior of the Workflow Automators I create. Whether they respond to events, how they behave, and why they don't work as expected. How do I view the logs?
