Frequently Asked Questions about Freshdesk + Smartsheet integrations

New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with Freshdesk and Smartsheet

Can Freshdesk tickets trigger actions in Smartsheet?

Yes, Freshdesk tickets can be set up to trigger specific actions in Smartsheet. For example, when a new ticket is created in Freshdesk, it can automatically create a new row in your designated Smartsheet. This helps keep your data synchronized across platforms.

How do we update existing rows in Smartsheet through Freshdesk?

To update existing rows in Smartsheet via Freshdesk, you need to set a specific condition or trigger event within Freshdesk that matches criteria with the data in Smartsheet. When the condition is met, such as updating a ticket status, the corresponding row in Smartsheet will also be updated.

Is it possible to add comments from Freshdesk tickets into Smartsheet?

Yes, you can configure the integration to transfer comments from a Freshdesk ticket into a specific cell or column in your Smartsheet. This allows you to keep track of all interactions related to specific tasks directly within your project sheet.

What triggers can we set up within Freshdesk for automatic updates in Smartsheet?

Triggers like 'New Ticket', 'Update Ticket', or changes to ticket status can be used within Freshdesk. These triggers can then update corresponding fields or create new entries automatically in Smartsheet without manual intervention.

Can changes made in Smartsheet reflect back into Freshdesk?

Currently, our integration primarily supports sending data from Freshdesk to Smartsheet. To reflect changes made directly in Smartsheet back into Freshdesk requires additional steps and possibly other integrations or custom API solutions.

Does the integration support custom fields from Freshdesk being added to Smartsheet?

Yes, custom fields created within Freshdesk can also be mapped and transferred to corresponding columns within your sheets on Smartsheet during setup. It ensures that unique data points are recorded systematically.

Are there any limits on the number of triggers or actions between these platforms?

While there are generally generous allowances for triggers and actions between integrated services, exact limits may depend on both your subscription plan and any service-specific quotas defined by either platform.
