Freshdesk — Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about connecting BeforeQuery to Freshdesk.

Add a Freshdesk helpdesk integration in BeforeQuery by providing your Freshdesk subdomain and API key. BeforeQuery uses the Freshdesk API to receive new ticket events and to post suggested replies or copilot drafts in the agent view.

Yes. BeforeQuery's simulation mode lets you test deflection against a sample of historical Freshdesk tickets. You can review the proposed answers, confidence scores, and estimated deflection rate before enabling live automation.

Yes. BeforeQuery classifies incoming ticket content by topic and applies routing rules to assign tickets to the appropriate Freshdesk group or agent. This reduces manual triage effort for high-volume support queues.

This is configurable. You can set BeforeQuery to fully automate deflection replies for tickets above a high confidence threshold, or require agent review and approval for every AI-generated reply before it is sent. Most teams start with review-required mode and increase automation gradually.

You configure eligibility rules in BeforeQuery — by ticket type, form, channel, or topic tag. For example, you might enable deflection for all email tickets of type 'General Inquiry' while excluding billing and account escalations from automation.
