If you use Freshdesk to manage your customer support, you can integrate your Freshdesk account with the web application.

 

Manage your business better by

  • Keeping your sales agent updated with any tickets raised by their customers

  • Automatically syncing your support and sales Contacts. 

  • This two-way integration ensures migration of all your existing customers in Freshdesk as Contacts/Accounts or both

 

This integration allows:

 

1. Sync fields from Contacts and Accounts/Companies  

2. To list tickets under Contact and Account profile in Freshsales

3. Freshsales Users to get free limited access to Freshdesk


How to enable the integration?

 

This is how you can set up the integration:

  1. Login to the web application as an Administrator.

  2. Go to Admin Settings > Apps & Integrations > Marketplace Apps

  3. Search for Freshdesk

  • The unmapped default fields can be mapped to other default as well as custom fields. 

 

2. Custom field mapping:

  • Custom fields of Freshdesk can be mapped to custom or default fields of Freshsales and vice-versa.

  • Custom fields of all field types can be mapped and synced.

  • You need to ensure that all your mandatory custom fields are mapped. Only then, will the Start sync button work.

  • In case you create a new custom field and want it to be reflected in the Field Mapping tab, click the Refresh field list button.

  • Leave the mapping empty if you don't want to sync the field.

 

 

 

   3. Field type mapping:

  • Text field type can be mapped to any other type of field too.

  • Updates of Checkbox type fields are overwritten from the source to the destination during the sync.

  • Drop-down fields can be mapped to only Dropdown fields. You can map it at a choice level.

 

           Ex: The Contact Stages used in your Freshdesk account could be Prospect, Lead and Customer. You can map it to an equivalent stage in Freshsales.

           A prospect who is in the Contacted stage in Freshdesk should be updated as a Customer in Freshdesk after the sync.

           You may use the same stage in Freshdesk and map it to multiple stages in Freshsales and vice-versa.                       

  • System fields like created at, updated at can’t be mapped and synced

 

LOGS:

Once your sync is complete, 

  • Sync start date and time

  • Sync end date and time

  • Direction of sync

  • The number of Contacts created/updated or failed(if any) is shown.

  • All duplicates are updated.

  • If overwrite option is selected, all fields will be updated with the latest value.
