How to integrate Freshdesk with Plecto

In order to integrate Freshdesk with Plecto, you need to find your Freshdesk subdomain and an API key.

Here's a Freshdesk article on how to find your API key. As for the subdomain, it's the first part of your full Freshdesk domain. For example, mycompany is the subdomain in the following URL: https://mycompany.freshdesk.com

Once you have the credentials, open Plecto and follow these steps:

Go to Data management > Data sources > + New data source > Freshdesk.
Insert your API key and subdomain.
Click Next.
Select the data types you want to import to Plecto.
(Optional) Expand the Advanced settings to change the data source title, default date field used in formulas, or other settings. You can access the settings also after you've created the data source.
Click Next to finish and import your data.
