How do I trigger when a new Freshdesk ticket is created?

Short answer: In TinyCommand, add the Freshdesk New Ticket trigger to a workflow and publish. It listens through a Freshdesk webhook and fires your workflow within seconds of the event, with no polling and no code. Add a filter if you only want some events to start a run.

FAQ

Questions about New Ticket.

How does the New Ticket trigger work in Freshdesk?
Fires when a new support ticket is created in Freshdesk. The standard inbound hook for AI triage, routing, and SLA-aware alerting.
Is the New Ticket trigger real-time?
Yes. New Ticket uses webhooks or push subscriptions, not polling. Your workflow fires within seconds of the event happening in Freshdesk.
What data does New Ticket return?
The full event payload from Freshdesk. The output shape table on this page lists every field, its type, and an example value so you can map fields into downstream nodes.
Can I filter New Ticket so only some events start a workflow?
Yes. Add a Filter node right after the trigger and match on any field, whether that's subject, sender, status, or anything else in the payload. Workflows only continue when the filter passes.
Do I need Freshdesk admin permissions to use New Ticket?
For most Freshdesk accounts a standard user can authorize the trigger. Some Freshdesk plans require an admin to enable third-party webhooks. Check Freshdesk's docs if the trigger fails to register.
