Read moreFrequently asked questions
Which Freshdesk channel guides matter most?
Email to ticket, because forwarding and DNS decide whether anything arrives at all, and the failure is silent.
Do the Freshdesk channel guides cover staffing?
Yes. Chat is the easiest channel to switch on and the hardest to staff, and the sum is in the guide rather than in the vendor pitch.
The duplicate underneath all of it
Whatever you are configuring, a tenth of the queue is the same request arriving twice. Ticket Merger spots those pairs and merges them through your own API.
