Using Freshdesk

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 community,I'm trying to create a contact using the Freshsales CRM API, but I'm receiving the following error response: jsonCopyEdit{ "success": false, "message": "Freshsales API Error (400): Please add a valid account" } Here is the sample payload I am sending: jsonCopyEdit{ "contact": { "first_name": "John", "last_name": "Doe", "email": "john.doe@example.com", "mobile_number": "1234567890", "sales_account_id": 202002197374 } } I'm setting the sales_account_id to an existing account ID (confirmed from the Freshsales UI and API), but still getting this error. What I've Checked: The account ID 202002197374 does exist in my Freshsales instance. I can fetch the account details successfully via the /api/sales_accounts/[id] endpoint. The contact pa

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!

Hi, I have had a freshdesk account for several years. today I sawis this message:“Outgoing emails are blocked for your account. Please contact our support team at support@freshdesk.com”  My account is https://poderjudicialvirtual.freshdesk.com/ Everyday I get around 50-60 tickets. It is kind of urgent for me to solve this. Any suggestion?  Thanks a lot in advance,

I created an automation to create a new freshdesk ticket my ticket is closed.I have a required dynamic ticket field with Level 1 and Level 2 values. However, some of my Level 1 do not have a  Level 2 set up.    "custom_fields": {        "cf_product_selection": "{{ticket.cf_product_selection}}",        "cf_functional_area": "{{ticket.cf_functional_area}}",    } My webhook is failing  "field":"custom_fields.cf_functional_area","message":"It should not be set, as input is not expected" I tried         "cf_functional_area": "{{ticket.cf_functional_area || ''}}" but it’s still not working. how can I have it check if the ticket has this field and exclude it from my json?  

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?

It appears we cannot execute a webhook AND a thread in a single automation. We have a scenario where we need to do both. However, if the ticket is created in the portal then only the first one executes - so if webhook is first it works and the email doesn’t send, and if the thread is first, then the webhook doesn’t execute. note - both execute just fine if the ticket is created directly w/in freshdesk. 

I'm trying to set up an automation in Freshdesk that sends follow-up emails to customers based on the ticket status (e.g., when it's in "Pending" or "Waiting on Customer").Has anyone successfully implemented this? I’d love to see your automation rule examples or best practices for managing this kind of workflow efficiently.Also, any tips on avoiding duplicate follow-ups would be great!Thanks in advance

Hello, Our FreshService is interfaced with other software that sends responses or notes and can change the status of tickets using the API. To do this I created an API Key from my profile and provided it to our service provider.The problem is that all the actions carried out on the API appear in the interface in my name, whereas they are carried out in the other software. So I have two questions:Is it possible to have an API Key that isn't linked to a user account?If not, how can I ensure that it's not my name but the name of the other software that appears on the actions carried out by it via the API? Thank youHave a nice day

Hi guysFor years Freshdesk has been assigning the proper Full Name of new enquires to our contacts when new tickets were created.  But now it doesn’t use the full name, but rather the 1st half of the email address.  Eg. if someone fills out a form and their email address is lucky123@gmail.com, the contact in Freshdesk is created as “Lucky123” - even if they filled in their full name.This changed when we updated the website and change WordPress forms from Formiddle to Fluent Forms.Our process was simple:Website visitor completes form → form email gets fowarded to unqiue Freshdesk email address → Ticket and contact is created from form info → Name is created based on the Full Name on the form (which was set as the “Sender’s Name” in the email settings.As mentioned, now with Fluent Forms it only used the 1st half of the email address (before the @) as the name.  So we have to manually update each new contact / leads name.Freshde

Hello, I am trying to search for tickets where a specific field is not empty or null. How do you express the NOT operator within a filter? For example, find all tickets where a custom field is not null? I have tried the following format ?query="cf_csat:!null""

I am migrating a plethora of PDF documents from an old knowledge base and trying to embed them in new solution articles using iFrame. Freshdesk editor appends “sandbox="allow-scripts allow-forms allow-same-origin allow-presentation” which results in Chrome and Edge displaying “This page has been blocked by Edge”. If I do the same thing in Freshservice with an embedded iFrame PDF it works perfectly in Edge and Chrome and the editor does not append sandbox settings to the end of the code.Is there a setting in Freshdesk that I can turn off to prevent the code being appended?Thanks in advance for any assistance. 

 I am reaching out regarding an issue our clients are experiencing on our Freshdesk platform. After filling out the ticket form, they are encountering an error when trying to submit it. This is preventing them from creating support tickets, which is impacting our ability to assist them effectively. 

Hello! I would appreciate it if anyone can help. Followed instructions to install Intune app but I get this error:It asks for Azure Client ID and Azure Secret Name. I am assuming I need to create a registered app in EntraID? If so, I have done that and tried Client ID and secret ID but that didn’t work.
