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.
