Set up the Freshdesk integration

Plan requirement

Subscription x-bees Standard or higher, UC-Business or higher (Collaboration 7)
Access WMS administrator, Freshdesk administrator

Connect Freshdesk so an incoming call opens the right contact and the conversation is recorded against them.

What it does

  • An incoming call opens the matching Freshdesk contact
  • Calls are logged against that contact
  • Phone numbers in Freshdesk become clickable

The value is that the phone stops being the one channel missing from the customer's history.

Set it up

  1. In WMS, go to Settings > PBX > Integrations > Cloud integrations.
  2. Open the Freshdesk integration and connect your account.
  3. Authorise it in Freshdesk when prompted.
  4. Test with a call from a number that exists on a Freshdesk contact.

You need administrator rights in Freshdesk for the authorisation step.

Test from a number that is definitely on a contact record. Testing from your own mobile, which probably is not in Freshdesk, makes a working integration look broken.

When nothing pops up

  • The user's plan. Integrations start at x-bees Standard.
  • Number format. Numbers in Freshdesk have to be in a format that matches an incoming call. International format is safest.
  • Withheld numbers. No number means no match, and nothing to open.
