    Add Freshdesk in Flowplane

    In the Flowplane console, add Freshdesk, type the first part of your Freshdesk address (acme for acme.freshdesk.com) and paste the API key from your Profile settings.

    Freshdesk’s API works with an API key, and each key belongs to one agent: it can do exactly what that agent may do in Freshdesk. The workspace can use one key for everyone, or let each person add their own key so the assistant acts as them. Flowplane keeps the key sealed; the assistant never sees it.

    • “Summarise the conversation on ticket 4821 so far.”
    • “Show every ticket from people at acme.com updated this month.”

What it can do

What Claude can do in Freshdesk

Freshdesk is where many support teams answer their customers. Through Flowplane an AI assistant can list and search tickets, read a ticket’s whole conversation, and look up contacts, companies, agents and groups. It can also open, update, reply to and note on tickets and keep contacts and companies up to date, and each of those changes waits for your approval by default.

FAQ

Questions

Can the assistant email my customers?
Only through a reply on a ticket or a note that is not private, and both wait for your approval by default. Notes are private by default, so only agents see them. Opening, closing or resolving a ticket can also send an email when your Freshdesk automations do so.
Can it delete tickets, contacts or companies?
Yes, and each delete waits for your approval by default. Freshdesk moves a deleted ticket to Trash and keeps a deleted contact, so an agent can restore them; a deleted company cannot be restored. The permanent delete of a contact, merging, bulk changes, attachments, forwarding and account settings are not offered.
Why does the ticket list stop at 30 days?
That is how Freshdesk lists tickets: the last 30 days, unless you ask for tickets changed since an earlier date. Searching by status, priority, tag or agent goes up to ten pages of thirty tickets and leaves out archived tickets.
Does Claude see the password or key for Freshdesk?
No. You sign in to Freshdesk through Flowplane, which keeps that sign-in sealed. Claude only gets a Flowplane sign-in for you, which you can revoke in the console.
Can Claude change things in Freshdesk without asking?
Not by default: every change in Freshdesk waits for your approval in the browser. Your workspace’s rules decide, per tool.
