How to connect Freshdesk to Coworker

Connect Freshdesk so Coworker can see your support queues and customer conversations. Either credential works on its own: per-agent keys, a workspace admin key, or both.

What Coworker can do with Freshdesk

  • Read tickets, conversations, groups and companies your credentials can reach

  • Produce two views of support activity: one report per support group (queue motion — created, resolved, escalated, who handled what) and one per customer company (what this account raised and where it stands)

  • Take supported write actions in Freshdesk when a task explicitly requires it

Reports never make a ticket visible beyond the agents Freshdesk itself would show it to.

Before you start

  • You need your Freshdesk domain and an API key

  • Admins connecting for the workspace need an admin-level API key

Connect as an admin

  1. Open Data Sources from the admin settings in Coworker and select Freshdesk.

  2. Enter your Freshdesk domain and a workspace admin API key.

  3. Save. This widens extraction coverage across the helpdesk.

Connect as a member

  1. Go to the Work page and click Data Sources.

  2. Select Freshdesk and paste your own agent API key.

Good to know

  • The workspace key and individual keys are pooled together, never treated as mutually exclusive. Coverage grows with each connected agent.

  • An API key inherits its agent's role and ticket scope. An ordinary agent's key sees only assigned or group tickets — that is expected, not an error.

  • The admin key widens what Coworker can extract, but it does not override Freshdesk-derived access policies.

  • The Freshdesk domain is part of every credential and must match.
