### Create Zulip bot for Freshdesk notifications
{start_tabs}
1. {!create-an-incoming-webhook.md!}
1. {!generate-webhook-url-basic.md!}
{end_tabs}
### Add notifications for new Freshdesk tickets
{start_tabs}
1. Go to your Freshdesk **Admin** page.
1. Under **Helpdesk Productivity**, select **Dispatch'r**, and then
select **New rule**.
1. Set **Rule Name** to a name of your choice, such as `Zulip`.
1. There isn't a shortcut to "always generate a notification on ticket
creation", so we'll have to fake it by picking two complementary
conditions: when the source **is email**, and when the source **is
not email**. Set up the **Conditions** for the new rule, like so:
![](/static/images/integrations/freshdesk/001.png)
1. Under **Actions**, set the **Select Action** dropdown to **Trigger
Webhook**.
1. Set **Request Type** to **POST**, and set **Callback URL** to the URL
[generated above][create-bot].
1. Toggle the **Requires Authentication** checkbox.
1. Set **Username** to the email of the bot [created above][create-bot],
and set **Password** to the bot's API key.
1. Set **Encoding** to **JSON**, and select the **Advanced** option.
Copy and paste the following JSON into the **Content** box:
```
{% raw %}
{"freshdesk_webhook":
{
"triggered_event":"{{triggered_event}}",
"ticket_id":"{{ticket.id}}",
"ticket_url":"{{ticket.url}}",
"ticket_type":"{{ticket.ticket_type}}",
"ticket_subject":"{{ticket.subject}}",
"ticket_description":"{{ticket.description}}",
"ticket_status":"{{ticket.status}}",
"ticket_priority":"{{ticket.priority}}",
"requester_name":"{{ticket.requester.name}}",
"requester_email":"{{ticket.requester.email}}"
}
}
{% endraw %}
```
1. Click **Save**.
{end_tabs}
### Get notifications for changes to existing Freshdesk tickets
{start_tabs}
1. Go to your Freshdesk **Admin** page.
1. Under **Helpdesk Productivity**, select **Observer**, and then select
**New rule**.
1. Set **Rule Name** to a name of your choice, such as `Zulip`.
1. Under **involves any of these events**, create new events as shown below:
![](/static/images/integrations/freshdesk/002.png)
1. Unfortunately, there isn't a shortcut for specifying "all tickets",
so we'll have to fake it by picking two complementary conditions:
when the source **is email**, and when the source **is not email**.
Under **on tickets with these properties**, create new conditions,
like so:
![](/static/images/integrations/freshdesk/003.png)
1. Under **perform these actions**, set the **Select Action** dropdown
to **Trigger Webhook**.
1. Set **Request Type** to **POST**, and set **Callback URL** to the URL
[generated above][create-bot].
1. Toggle the **Requires Authentication** checkbox.
1. Set **Username** to the email of the bot [created above][create-bot],
and set **Password** to the bot's API key.
1. Set **Encoding** to **JSON** and select the **Advanced** option.
Copy and paste the following JSON into the **Content** box:
```
{% raw %}
{"freshdesk_webhook":
{
"triggered_event":"{{triggered_event}}",
"ticket_id":"{{ticket.id}}",
"ticket_url":"{{ticket.url}}",
"ticket_type":"{{ticket.ticket_type}}",
"ticket_subject":"{{ticket.subject}}",
"ticket_description":"{{ticket.description}}",
"ticket_status":"{{ticket.status}}",
"ticket_priority":"{{ticket.priority}}",
"requester_name":"{{ticket.requester.name}}",
"requester_email":"{{ticket.requester.email}}"
}
}
{% endraw %}
```
