Freshdesk Access Requirements

Why do we need access to your Freshdesk Instance?

The service account created in your Freshdesk instance will perform create, update operations on behalf of end users as well as notify end users on ticket related updates.

The Moveworks Service interacts with your Freshdesk platform so that the bot can:

Monitor tickets for autonomous resolution
Identify end users/employees
Create tickets for issues that require an agent's attention
Reach out to an employee when a Freshdesk ticket needs the employee's attention (via ticket comments)

Access Needs

Moveworks needs the API key to authenticate with the Freshdesk instance which is tied to the service account

📘
This key does not have an expiry date and is immutable.
