Connect Freshdesk and Make
To get started, you must first create a connection between Freshdesk and Make, allowing the two services to communicate.
To create the connection, you need to:
Obtain your API key in Freshdesk
Before you create the connection in Make, you should first obtain an API key in your Freshesk account.
To obtain the API key:
Log in to your Freshdesk account.
In the upper-right corner, click on your profile picture and select Profile Settings.
In the right sidebar, click the View API key button.
Copy the API key value shown and store it in a safe place.
You'll use this value in the field name connection field in Make.
Create the connection in Make
Once you have your Freshdesk API key, you're ready to create the connection in Make.
To create the connection:
Log in to your Make account, add a Freshdesk module to your scenario, and click Create a connection.
If you add a module with an instant tag, click Create a webhook, then Create a connection.
Optional: In the Connection name field, enter a name for the connection.
In the API key field, enter the API key you copied from your Freshdesk account.
In the Company name field, enter your domain name. If your Freshdesk URL is https://abc.freshdesk.com then enter abc here.
Click Save.
If prompted, authenticate your account and confirm access.
