You can now integrate your AI agent directly into Freshdesk Tickets for a seamless AI support experience.

The Freshdesk Ticket integration is available on all paid My AskAI plans, .

What are the benefits of using My AskAI within Freshdesk Tickets?

There are several reasons why you should use your My AskAI within Freshdesk Tickets:

  • You get access to an intelligent AI agent, directly within Freshdesk Tickets that can automatically and instantly answer user or visitor queries, using your company knowledgebase.

  • AI answers provided with "References" to the sources used to answer the question.

How to connect your AI agent to Freshdesk Tickets

Recommended: AI replies will come from whichever agent account you set them up on in Freshdesk, therefore we would recommend create a new agent account/seat for your AI agent and using this account's API keys.

  1. Login to your Dashboard and go to Channels.

  2. Once enabled you will see "Live Chat apps" appear, click on the Freshdesk icon.

  1. Select 'Freshdesk Tickets'

  1. Enter your Freshdesk domain (your domain is within the URL of your Freskdesk inbox. e.g. myaskai.freshdesk.com) and your API key and click 'Connect your Freshdesk account'.

  1. Once connected it'll change to say "Freshdesk account connected" and look like this:

  1. You will now be generating AI replies to your tickets, test it out by emailing your Freshdesk inbox.

What will my Freshdesk Ticket AI agent respond to?

By default your Freshdesk Ticket AI agent will respond to Email and Web form tickets that are "New".

How do I know what the Freshdesk Ticket AI agent has replied to and what has been handed to a human agent?

When a ticket is replied to by your AI agent in Freshdesk Tickets you will see the AI response in the ticket thread.

When a ticket is replied to by a customer (if they need more help for instance) then an internal note is added to the ticket.

How can I use my AI support agent within Freshdesk Tickets?

Once you've connected the My AskAI agent within your Freshdesk Admin Centre, it will automatically start responding to user's questions with Internal Notes within the Freshdesk Ticket responder by default.

Internal Notes

For the first question of each ticket an Internal Note will be generated by the AI, you can then use this information to assist you in the composition of your response.

With each question, the links used to answer the question will be provided.

Direct Replies

Alternatively, you can have your Freshdesk Tickets AI agent respond directly to customers by toggling to "Reply directly to customers" within your Freshdesk Ticket setup settings in My AskAI.

By default, all messages of the ticket will be replied to, however you can change this by selecting "Reply to 1st message only".

If you’re using your AI agent to directly reply to users in Freshdesk Tickets, we recommend you disable automatic email replies (for ticket creation acknowledgement), otherwise users will receive multiple emails.

How does human handover work when using the Freshdesk Ticket integration?

If you change to "Reply to 1st message only", any further questions or responses will be handed over to you, as the agent, to address.

If however, you have selected for the AI to "Reply to all messages" then you can choose when you want the AI to hand over the conversation to your human agents, either select:

  • "Can't answer a question" - when it can't answer a question instead of saying as such it will automatically pass over to a person

  • "Customer handover request"- it will only handover if the customer explicitly requests to speak to a human agent

How can I use my Freshdesk Ticket AI agent to reply to follow-up tickets?

To use it:

  1. Open a new ticket

  2. Select the icon and then click "Draft AI agent response"

  3. An AI response will be generated for you like magic!

How do I remove my Freshdesk Ticket AI agent?

  1. Login to your Dashboard and go to Channels.

  2. If enabled you will see "Live Chat apps" appear, click on the Freshdesk icon.

  1. Select 'Freshdesk Tickets'

  1. Expand the "Install My AskAI within Freshdesk" header and click "Disconnect Freshdesk Integration" then confirm your deletion.

How can I pause or temporarily turn off AI replies or notes in Freshdesk?

To pause or temporarily pause AI replies or notes in Freshdesk go to Channels > Freshdesk then scroll to the toggle for "Pause AI agent".

When you are ready to turn it back on, just toggle the Pause button once more and it will start responding again.
