Freshdesk

Category: Help Desk. Connect Freshdesk and your widget can open and check support tickets for visitors, right inside the chat.
Integrations are available on the Pro and Business plans. Freshdesk shares the Help Desk category with Zendesk, so only one of the two can be active at a time.

What This Bot Can Do

The bot does exactly these actions, nothing more. “Needs sign-in” means the visitor must be identified first; otherwise the bot gives a safe, neutral answer.
ActionWhat it doesNeeds sign-in
Open a support ticketCreate a ticket with a subject, description, and priority (low, medium, high, or urgent).No
Check a ticket’s statusLook up a ticket’s status and the latest replies from your team, by email or ticket ID.Yes

What It Can’t Do

Freshdesk is scoped to the actions above. It does not:
  • Reply to or comment on a ticket
  • Close, resolve, or reassign a ticket
  • Attach files to a ticket

How to Connect

Connecting an integration requires an Editor, Admin, or Owner role, on the Pro or Business plan. See Members & Roles.

Get your Freshdesk API key

In Freshdesk, open your Profile settings and copy your API key. Note your Freshdesk domain too — the subdomain in yourcompany.freshdesk.com.

Open Integrations

In your workspace dashboard, open your Web Widget → Integrations tab and find Freshdesk.

Connect

Click Connect. A secure popup opens — enter your Freshdesk API Key and your Freshdesk Domain (the subdomain only), then click Connect. Your credentials go to the secure form, never into the chat. If Zendesk is currently active, you’ll be asked to confirm replacing it.

Once connected, Freshdesk’s actions — Open a support ticket and Check a ticket’s status — become available to your widget right away.

One per Category

Freshdesk is in the Help Desk category with Zendesk. Connecting one disconnects the other, so your bot always has a single, clear tool for help desk.
If you connect Freshdesk while Zendesk is active, Zendesk is turned off automatically.
