Connect Freshdesk (helpdesk)

Let Neo create a Freshdesk ticket after every call, and tell callers about their open tickets. Paste your domain and API key, then test the connection.

If you use Freshdesk for customer support, you can connect it to Kaneo. Then every call Neo takes becomes a ticket in Freshdesk:

  • The caller is the requester. Kaneo finds the contact by phone number, if there is none, it creates one with name and number.
  • The subject says who called and what Neo did (e.g. "Opkald fra Anne Berg: Tog en besked").
  • The description holds a summary of the call and what the customer wants, plus an excerpt of the caller's own words.
  • The source is Phone. Calls Neo handled herself (a booking or a transfer) are created as Resolved; the rest as Open.

On the phone, Neo can also tell the caller whether their ticket is open. This is read-only: Neo sees ticket number, subject and status, never the content, and only once the caller has said their ticket number or email (caller ID can be spoofed).

It's free, and only an administrator can set it up. You find it under Integrationer → Freshdesk ("Integrations → Freshdesk").

1. Find your API key

Open Profile settings

Sign in to Freshdesk, click your profile picture in the top right corner and choose Profile settings.

Copy the key

Copy Your API Key on the right (Freshdesk may ask you to confirm with a code sent by email). The key belongs to the agent you're signed in as, use an agent who may create contacts and tickets.

2. Paste it into Kaneo

In Integrationer → Freshdesk, type your Freshdesk address (e.g. company.freshdesk.com), paste the API key and press Tjek og forbind ("Check and connect"). Kaneo checks it with Freshdesk right away and stores it encrypted.

Once connected, you can switch two things on and off:

  • Create a ticket after every call (on by default)
  • Neo may look up the caller's open tickets on the phone (off by default)

3. Test the connection

Press Test forbindelsen ("Test the connection"). The test confirms the key and tries the contact search by phone number. It creates no contact and no ticket.

Good to know

  • Neo never deletes or changes anything in Freshdesk. She creates contacts and tickets, nothing else.
  • If you disconnect, Kaneo deletes the key. To be completely sure, you can reset the key in Freshdesk afterwards.
  • Freshdesk limits API calls per minute based on your plan. One call typically uses 2 til 4 API calls.
