Freshdesk automation with Bizomate

Support starts in more places than the help desk: a form, a failed payment, a message in team chat. Bizomate opens the ticket with the right priority and group, replies or adds a private note, logs time, and starts a workflow when a ticket is opened, changed or answered. Every run leaves a record of what it did to which ticket.

◇ Publishing a workflow that uses it asks for a paid plan. Build and test on any plan.

Questions about Freshdesk

Which plan do I need?

Freshdesk is a premium connection. On any plan, Free included, you can add it and build and test workflows that use it; publishing one of those workflows needs a paid plan.

Do the triggers start a run straight away?

No. Bizomate checks your help desk every 5 minutes, and each new ticket, change or reply it finds starts one run. A check that finds nothing starts no run.

What is the difference between a reply and a note?

Add a reply goes to the customer, who gets it by email. Add a note stays inside Freshdesk as a private note that only agents see — a summary for the team, or what an earlier step found.

Can merged tickets be separated again?

No. Merge tickets closes each ticket into the primary one and moves its replies and notes there, and Freshdesk cannot undo it. Check the ticket numbers an earlier step gives before the merge runs.
