How to connect Freshdesk to Binom: tickets from conversations, replies inside tickets, ticket search, and contacts. Available on request.
The Freshdesk integration with Binom passes requests from chats to your support team: the AI employee creates a ticket, replies in it, finds the customer's previous requests, and keeps contact records. Operators receive ready-made tickets, and the customer immediately learns that their question has been received. Freshdesk is available on request in the Binom dashboard: Integrations → More integrations → Freshdesk.
What Binom can do in Freshdesk
Binom here refers to your AI employee. After you connect Freshdesk, it calls the service's actions when a conversation needs that data. You decide which actions it can use. In the dashboard, each action is labeled: read (Binom only views data), write, or delete (Binom changes or deletes data in Freshdesk).
| Section | What Binom can view | What Binom can change |
|---|---|---|
| Tickets | Search tickets by conditions | Create a ticket, reply in a ticket |
| Contacts | Contact, contact fields | Create, update, delete, and restore a contact |
| Companies | No | Create, update, and delete a company |
| Agents and groups | No | Create, update, and delete agents, delete a group |
Can the chatbot create a ticket in Freshdesk?
Yes. Using the "Create Ticket" action, Binom creates a ticket from a request in the conversation. To make sure the ticket is linked to the right person, Binom can first create or update the customer's contact ("Create Contact", "Update Contact").
Request status on the customer's request
Yes. The "Filter Tickets" action searches tickets by conditions using Freshdesk's query language, for example by customer or status. If the customer adds details, Binom appends the reply to the ticket ("Create Reply").
How are Freshdesk tickets different from Binom tickets?
Binom has its own tickets for operators. The Freshdesk integration is needed if your support already works in Freshdesk and requests should go there.
How to get the Freshdesk integration
Freshdesk is connected on request: first, the Binom team sets up the integration for your account. General catalog rules are described in the instructions how to connect a service from "More integrations".
- Open Integrations → More integrations, enter "Freshdesk" in the "Search integrations" field, and open the Freshdesk card.
- The "Freshdesk integration for assistant" page will show the message "The integration is available on request. Request it now, and we will set it up for you as a priority." Assistant here means your Binom. The "Authentication" block shows which access will be needed, and the "Actions" list shows everything Binom can do in Freshdesk.
- Click "Request integration". The message "Request sent. You will receive a notification when the integration becomes available." will appear, and the button will change to "Requested".
- A Binom setup specialist will contact you. When the integration is ready, a "Connect" button will appear on the Freshdesk page.
- Click "Connect," go through the steps in the "Connecting Freshdesk" window, and click "Done". After "Connecting…", the status will change to "Connected". If the message "Confirmation has not arrived yet. The connection may still complete, so check again in a minute." appears, click "Check again".
How to choose what Binom can do in Freshdesk
The connected integration does nothing until you allow actions. The dashboard states this directly: "Select the actions the assistant may perform. Until something is selected, it has no access to any of them."
- On the Freshdesk page, check the actions you need in the "Actions" list. The "Filter actions" field helps you find them by name. The counter shows how many are selected.
- Check the "Ask before changing data" toggle. It is on by default: before any action that creates, changes, or deletes records, Binom describes what it plans to do and waits for your reply.
- Click "Save". The message "Allowed actions saved" confirms your changes.
To start, "Create Contact", "Create Ticket", "Filter Tickets", and "Create Reply" are enough. Add actions that change or delete data when you are ready to let Binom make changes in Freshdesk.
How to check that the integration works
- Start a new conversation with your Binom, for example through the public chat link, and describe a test issue. Check that a ticket appeared in Freshdesk.
- Ask for the status of the test ticket and compare it with Freshdesk.
- Close the test ticket after checking.
