Yes. On a new Freshdesk ticket the connection can look up the requester with Find Contact by Email in Freshworks CRM, then add a private note to the ticket with what it found. If no contact matches, the note step is skipped. ### ### How do I know it works before customers hit it? The agent runs each scenario after building it, including a ticket from a known CRM contact and one from an unknown email address. It keeps running afterwards, so new tickets, contacts, companies, deals and accounts are handled as they appear. ### ### What can start an automation from Freshdesk? Any of Freshdesk's 3 triggers in the catalog, including New Company, New Contact and New Ticket. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in Freshworks CRM when something happens in Freshdesk? Any of Freshworks CRM's 17 actions, including Create Account, Create Contact, Find Contact by Email and Create Appointment. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from Freshworks CRM to Freshdesk? Yes. When something happens in Freshworks CRM, your agent can act in Freshdesk too. This page covers both directions: Freshworks CRM's triggers and Freshdesk's actions are listed here as well. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for Freshdesk or Freshworks CRM? No. Both are in the catalog with their triggers and actions. You describe the automation; your agent builds it, tests every scenario and keeps it running. ### ### Can my AI client use Freshdesk and Freshworks CRM without building an automation? Yes. With your AI client connected to APIANT, ask it to do something in either app once and it runs that action on the spot. Ask for an automation and your agent builds it, tests every scenario and keeps it running. One connection covers both. ### ### What happens when something fails? Your agent works that out for you. It plans the failure paths along with the happy path, then tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Is there a free plan? Yes. Every plan includes the agent, including free, and building from your own AI client spends no assistant credits.
