The Freshsales Suite for Freshdesk provides you with complete visibility on your customer base. Your agents can now easily access contacts, deals, and accounts from Freshsales Suite for better context regarding customer problems. This allows support agents to get instant context, build relevant conversation and resolve customer questions faster.

 

Your agents can view the recent fives deals associated with a customer next to the ticket and create a contact directly from Freshdesk without switching to Freshsales Suite. Similarly, Freshsales agents can see the linked tickets in Contacts, Deals, and Account pages in Freshsales Suite.

Once you enable this integration, your agents can access Freshsales customer details right inside the Freshdesk on both tickets and contact pages.


Note: Your agents can only view the fields you configure on the settings page during installation.

Click on the Freshsales widget to view all the accounts and deals associated with your customer.

  1. Click on the customer name to view the basic information about the customer.
  2. Click on the account name to view the recent five open deals associated with the account.
    The deals will be sorted by 'Expected Close Date' with the nearer date being first. If a customer does not have 5 open deals, you will first see all the open deals followed by any closed deals, sorted by 'Most recent closed date'.
  3. Use the Create Contact option to convert a sales query from a customer on a Freshdesk ticket to a lead/contact in Freshsales.
