Freshdesk

Bi-directional integration with Freshdesk to sync incidents, notes, and statuses while creating or linking tickets effortlessly.

Was this helpful?

Spike's Freshdesk integration helps with automatic ticket creation to syncing statuses and notes in real-time from either Spike or Freshdesk's dashboard, Whether done manually or automatically via Playbooks, this integration ensures incident details are captured in your helpdesk system efficiently.


Features

  • Bi-directional Sync: Sync incident statuses and notes between Spike and Freshdesk in real time.

  • Link Existing Incidents: Link existing Spike incidents to tickets on Freshdesk.


Two step set up

Connecting Freshdesk and Spike requires two setups: the API connection enables creating incidents from Spike to Freshdesk, while the Spike app from the marketplace allows creating incidents from Freshdesk to Spike with real-time syncing of statuses and notes.

Step 1. Freshdesk Marketplace App

Install the Spike app from the Freshdesk Marketplace for enhanced functionality, including:

  • Creating incidents or linking existing ones directly from Freshdesk.

  • Syncing notes and incident statuses in real-time, including status updates and changes.

  • Allowing Freshdesk users (who aren’t Spike users) to trigger incidents.

Steps to Set Up:

  1. Follow the instructions on Freshdesk to connect Spike

Step 2. API Connection on Spike

This method allows you to send incidents from Spike to Freshdesk by connecting with an API token and email.

Steps to Set Up:

  1. Enter your Freshdesk API token and subdomain.


How to use?

Manual Sync

From the Spike dashboard, users can manually select one or more incidents and create Freshdesk support tickets.

Important Notes:

  • Tickets created from Spike are not synced with statuses or notes.

  • For full syncing functionality, tickets must be created using the Spike app in Freshdesk.

Sync Notes and Status

When the Spike app is installed from the Freshdesk Marketplace, syncing notes and statuses is automatic and happens in real time. Any updates made on one platform reflect immediately on the other.

Automatically Creating Tickets

Spike’s Playbooks automate ticket creation during incident triggers. Once set up, incident details, timestamps, and other critical data are sent to Zendesk automatically.

How to Use?

Manual Ticket Creation

From the Spike dashboard, select one or more incidents and create Freshdesk tickets.

Automatically Creating Tickets

Use Spike’s Playbooks to automate ticket creation during incident triggers. Incident details, timestamps, and other critical data are sent to Freshdesk automatically.


FAQs

Who can set up and create tickets?

Anyone in your organization can set up the integration and create tickets. No special permissions are required.

Are any extra permissions needed for automating Playbooks?

You will need the manual setup with Freshdesk to automate at [Settings > General > Helpdesk Integrations](https://app.spike.sh/settings/general/organisation#org--helpdesk-ticket-management). Once the integration is connected, no additional setup is needed for Playbooks. Users can define whether to create tickets with an "Open" or "New" status.

Can Freshdesk users create incidents on Spike?

Yes. Make sure to install the Spike app from [Freshdesk's marketplace](https://www.freshworks.com/apps/spike/)

Can I link multiple incidents to one Freshdesk ticket?

No, each incident is linked to a unique Freshdesk ticket for better traceability.
