Using Freshdesk

While PDF export is available per the export is pretty awkward. Images often break and fail to render, formatting is inconsistent or removed, seemingly at random. Additionally, like a typical webpage, you get header/footer information that is not configurable.My recommendation is:A UI for configuration of the PDF export (either end-user or admin) Export to respect formatting Export to actually embed images appropriately

I would like the customer to be emailed if the ticket status is changed. I can achieve this if an Agent changes the status, but I can’t see an option to do this if the System changes the Status.  The System changes are limited to mail or overdue events.  

I am trying to create a webhook to set the subject line of tickets raised via the Freshdesk portal. I have read and followed the instructions from various Freshworks pages and community articles, and no matter what I do, I cannot get this webhook to work!I can see that the automation has run on all of the test tickets that I have raised - but the subject lines aren’t actually changing! Is anyone able to help with what I am doing wrong? Please note that in the screenshots below I have replaced the URL and API key with placeholders for security reasons, but rest assured that these are entered correctly in the automation! 

I need to customize this alert I’ve inspected and copied the selector yet when I apply the styles in the CSS it just doesnt take I believe it is customizable because upon inspecting and changing style via the browser it takes like a charm   

We’ve recently started experiencing an issue whereby email notifications for both internal support group members and the requester are no longer being sent/received on submission of a new support case via email.Email notifs are being sent when actions are being taken on the ticket (e.g. status updated, etc.) however not on submission (which acknowledges that the ticket was received, alerts team members of a new case, etc.)I’ve seen references to possible sending issues caused by Freshworks imposed blocks due to high spam volumes (which we’ve been experiencing). Any help from an official Freshdesk agent on the matter would be greatly appreciated.

I am finding I go to reply to an email chain and when I click the reply button the response email doesn’t include any history of the previous email correspondence? 

Freshdesk is THE ONLY website doing this in this browser.I am required to utilise the notes section and email replies whilst working.Every time I open the text box using this browser, the text cursor consistently resets itself to the top left of the field.THIS IS COMPLETELY UNUSABLE AND THE ONLY FIX IS TO REINSTALL THE GODDAMN BROWSER.No, I WILL NOT use a different browser, before anyone makes this benign suggestion.Anyone else have this issue and hopefully a more permanent solution?

My problem is that we are using Freshdesk as our helpdesk and knowledge base tool. We have hosted several support articles through Freshdesk, which are currently accessible on the internet when people search for our brand with 'Support', such as 'signeasy support'.In our case, when searching like this, our support pages appear in the results, but with the name 'runonflux' at the top, just above the meta title and description of each page. This occurs for all of our support articles appearing on Google with this title for each page.I have attached a screenshot for reference. Please let me know if there's any way to change this or provide guidance on how to fix it. I couldn't find the same name anywhere in our page source code, which prompted me to reach out here. 

On FreshDesk I want to verify a user for them. So I do NOT need to send them a verification email. Is this possible. I do not care if the users can login, I just want to open tickets for them. I need their emails verified but they always end up in SPAM so I have to phone them anyway. Whats the point of software if I have to phone them anyway?

Hi, slightly unusual request but we’d like to stop our customers from being able to use the ‘Mark Ticket as closed’ button from their ticket view on the portal.  Anyone know if this can be done?  It’s to stop tickets being closed without an agent adding resolution notes and sending out the CSAT survey etc. thanks 

Hey @FW Community,anyone using Threads to collaborate with teams outside of Freshdesk?We are exploring Threads as to be used to loop in an internal team (let’s say third level alike).They are pretty well self-organized and use a group email in Outlook - So the plan is to keep them outside of Freshdesk.Currently they are contacted from agent’s Outlook, so agents do copy&paste all relevant information into the email.On top of that, agents have to juggle tickets in Freshdesk and the team’s responses in their Outlook.With threads we could use canned responses to fill all the details directly from Freshdesk ticket and use automations to reopen tickets on the team’s reply. Here’s the issue (or where at least I see a problem):Creating a Forward Thread via sending an email to the team from our main service address (service@ourcompany.com)

We are using https://www.toptal.com/developers/json-formatter to test validate our strings from our logs into json strings for creating a ticket.We had a verified json string, but an error when creating the ticket.  The ticket works sending just “123”Any ideas? { "description": "<pre>***************************************************************************************************<br>QQube Synchronizer - Starting Time: 06/22/2024 12:05:28 PM - Setup Wizard<br>Application Version 10.1</pre>", "subject": "Log file from #0 Demo User Success 6/22/2024 12:05:28 PM Full", "email": "matt@clearify.com", "priority": 1, "status": 1 }

Hi, I’ve configured some whitelist domains for our customers in the Admin - Portals - Settings - Email domain restriction.Do emails coming in that don’t meet this domain criteria for auto logging a ticket get logged anywhere? I know if a ticket is dropped for a deactivated customer contact the email goes to spam view but can’t find where the ‘dropped’ emails go in the system.  ThanksAndy   

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    ??

Google Script app codefunction createTicket(e) { var API_KEY='My API '; var ENDPOINT = 'My domain'; // change to https if SSL is configured. var headers = { 'Content-type': 'application/json', 'Authorization': 'Basic ' + Utilities.base64Encode(API_KEY + ':X') }; var payload = JSON.stringify({"description":"Help needed desparately","subject":"Testing API","email":"user@test.com","priority":1,"status": 2 ,/*I did try this didn't work either*/// 'custom_field[cf_campus]':'QLD'"custom_field": { "cf_campus": "QLD" }}) var url = ENDPOINT + '/api/v2/tickets'; var options = { 'method': 'post', 'headers': headers, 'payload': payload, muteHttpExceptions: true }; // Logger.log("url: " + url); Logger.log("payload: " + o

Hi, I am Creating tickets with API and after creating the ticket, I am seeing the ‘Created by’ as the name of the User whose API key that I used to authenticate the API request. i want to remove or hide the Created By. Is there any option to do the same?  

Hi Is it possible to customise the solution page>article. The editor allows for editing in code but doesn’t allow for changing the background of the article. For example, i want to insert an image in the background and have a table and text on top. I also want my embedded videos to pop-up when the user clicks on them rather then start playing.Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

When I reply to a customer on a ticket, I don't want it to CC my email box. Can I turn that off?

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

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 woul

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”

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 th
