<h4>Freshdesk</h4>
<p>
See customer support interactions right in Zulip, with our Freshdesk
integration! Note that this integration must be set up by an administrator
for your Freshdesk instance.
</p>
<p>
First, create the stream you'd like to use for Freshdesk notifications,
and subscribe all interested parties to this stream. We recommend the
stream name <code>freshdesk</code>.
</p>
<p>Next, on your {{ settings_html|safe }}, create a Freshdesk bot.</p>
<p>
Now we can set up the Freshdesk events that will trigger
Zulips. Freshdesk provides separate triggering mechanisms for ticket
creation and ticket changes, so we'll set up these triggers in two
parts.
</p>
<h4>Part 1: Zulip notifications for new Freshdesk tickets</h4>
<ol>
<li>
<p>
Visit your Freshdesk admin page. Under the <b>"Helpdesk
Productivity"</b> section, click the <b>"Dispatch'r"</b> icon:
</p>
<img class="screenshot" src="/static/images/integrations/freshdesk/001.png"/>
<p>
Click the <b>"New rule"</b> button to create a new Dispatch'r rule
that will send notifications to Zulip when Freshdesk tickets are
opened.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
On the Dispatch'r rule creation page, give the rule a name and
description. Next, we need to specify the conditions under which to
trigger Zulip notifications. There isn't a shortcut for "always
generate a notification on ticket creation", so we'll instead fake it
by picking two complementary conditions: when the source <b>is
email</b>, and when the source <b>is not email</b>:
</p>
<img class="screenshot" src="/static/images/integrations/freshdesk/002.png"/>
</li>
<li>
<p>
In the <b>"Action"</b> section, add a new action of
type <b>"Trigger Webhook"</b>. Set the <b>"Request Type"</b>
to <b>"POST"</b>. Set the following <b>"Callback URL"</b>, replacing
the Zulip stream with your desired stream:
</p>
<p>
<code>{{ external_api_uri_subdomain }}/v1/external/freshdesk?stream=<font color="#00A26F">freshdesk</font></code>
</p>
<p>
Check the <b>"Requires Authentication"</b> box, and supply the bot
e-mail address and API key.
</p>
<p>The Action section should look like this so far:</p>
<img class="screenshot" src="/static/images/integrations/freshdesk/003.png"/>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Select <b>"JSON"</b> for the <b>"Encoding"</b>. Under the encoding, select
<b>"Advanced"</b>. Paste the following JSON into the <b>"Content"</b>
box:
</p>
<pre>{"freshdesk_webhook":
{
"triggered_event":"&#123;&#123;triggered_event&#125;&#125;",
"ticket_id":"&#123;&#123;ticket.id&#125;&#125;",
"ticket_url":"&#123;&#123;ticket.url&#125;&#125;",
"ticket_type":"&#123;&#123;ticket.ticket_type&#125;&#125;",
"ticket_subject":"&#123;&#123;ticket.subject&#125;&#125;",
"ticket_description":"&#123;&#123;ticket.description&#125;&#125;",
"ticket_status":"&#123;&#123;ticket.status&#125;&#125;",
"ticket_priority":"&#123;&#123;ticket.priority&#125;&#125;",
"requester_name":"&#123;&#123;ticket.requester.name&#125;&#125;",
"requester_email":"&#123;&#123;ticket.requester.email&#125;&#125;",
}
}
</pre>
<p>
These ticket details are what will be forwarded to Zulip. The
pasted JSON should look like this:
</p>
<img class="screenshot" src="/static/images/integrations/freshdesk/004.png"/>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Save your new Dispatch'r rule. The next time a Freshdesk ticket is
opened, the team will get a notification in Zulip!
</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p>
If you only want to receive Zulip notifications on ticket creation,
stop here, you're done! If you also want notifications on important ticket
changes, please continue to the next section.
</p>
<h4>Part 2: Zulip notifications on ticket changes</h4>
<ol>
<li>
<p>
Visit your Freshdesk admin page. Under the <b>"Helpdesk
Productivity"</b> section, click the <b>"Observer"</b> icon:
</p>
<img class="screenshot" src="/static/images/integrations/freshdesk/005.png"/>
<p>
Click the <b>"New rule"</b> button to create a new Observer rule
that will send notifications to Zulip when Freshdesk tickets are
updated.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
On the Observer rule creation page, give the rule a name and
description. Under <b>"When Any Of These Events Occur"</b>, create
these new rules:
</p>
<ul>
<li><p>Priority is changed, from Any Priority, to Any Priority</p></li>
<li><p>Status is changed, from Any Status, to Any Status</p></li>
<li><p>Note is added, Type Any</p></li>
</ul>
<p>
If you do not want to receive Zulip notifications on one or more of
these events, leave out the rule for that event.
</p>
<p>
Under <b>"And The Events Are Performed By"</b>,
select <b>"Anyone"</b>.
</p>
<p>So far, the rule should look like this:</p>
<img class="screenshot" src="/static/images/integrations/freshdesk/006.png"/>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Next, we need to specify the types of tickets that will trigger
Zulip notifications. There isn't a shortcut for "always generate a
notification on ticket update", so as before we'll instead fake it by
picking two complementary conditions: when the source <b>is email</b>,
and when the source <b>is not email</b>:
</p>
<img class="screenshot" src="/static/images/integrations/freshdesk/007.png"/>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Under <b>"Perform These Actions"</b>, add a new action of
type <b>"Trigger Webhook"</b>. Set the <b>"Request Type"</b>
to <b>"POST"</b>. Set the following <b>"Callback URL"</b>, replacing
the Zulip stream with your desired stream:
</p>
<p>
<code>{{ external_api_uri_subdomain }}/v1/external/freshdesk?stream=<font color="#00A26F">freshdesk</font></code>
</p>
<p>
Check the <b>"Requires Authentication"</b> box, and supply the bot
e-mail address and API key.
</p>
<p>The Action section should look like this so far:</p>
<img class="screenshot" src="/static/images/integrations/freshdesk/008.png"/>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Select <b>"JSON"</b> for the <b>"Encoding"</b>. Under the encoding,
select <b>"Advanced"</b>. Paste the following JSON into
the <b>"Content"</b> box:
</p>
<pre>
{"freshdesk_webhook":
{
"triggered_event":"&#123;&#123;triggered_event&#125;&#125;",
"ticket_id":"&#123;&#123;ticket.id&#125;&#125;",
"ticket_url":"&#123;&#123;ticket.url&#125;&#125;",
"ticket_type":"&#123;&#123;ticket.ticket_type&#125;&#125;",
"ticket_subject":"&#123;&#123;ticket.subject&#125;&#125;",
"ticket_description":"&#123;&#123;ticket.description&#125;&#125;",
"ticket_status":"&#123;&#123;ticket.status&#125;&#125;",
"ticket_priority":"&#123;&#123;ticket.priority&#125;&#125;",
"requester_name":"&#123;&#123;ticket.requester.name&#125;&#125;",
"requester_email":"&#123;&#123;ticket.requester.email&#125;&#125;",
}
}</pre>
<p>
These ticket details are what will be forwarded to Zulip. The
pasted JSON should look like this:
</p>
<img class="screenshot" src="/static/images/integrations/freshdesk/009.png"/>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Save your new Observer rule. The next time a Freshdesk ticket is
updated, the team will get a notification in Zulip!
