1. Introduction
Chatbots are commonly used for customer solutions to help end-users get answers to the Frequently Asked Questions or some common flows where users get stuck. However, there may be some queries that are unique or have been encountered for the first time and the chatbot may not be trained enough to answer these.
For such scenarios, we have introduced integration with the Freshdesk Ticketing Platform. Customers can now integrate the Freshdesk account with Meta Humans bot platform and enable users to create tickets, get ticket details and update existing tickets from the chatbot itself.
Note: Freshdesk direct integration is supported only for all the following paid plans:
-
Blossom
-
Garden
-
Estate
-
Forest

2. Access to Freshdesk Integration
You can access Freshdesk Integration under the Cloud Integrations in the Integration tab. This is available to our customers on the Business (or higher) plans.
Once the Integration with an account is completed, the integration APIs can be used within the Conversation flow using the Freshdesk Node in Builder>Path.
3. Steps to configure Freshdesk Integration

iii) Once you have done with assigning the attributes to save the node and your Integration is ready.
iv) All tickets that will be created, corresponding ticket id for them will be saved in attribute {{user.ticket.id}}
