How do I trigger when a Freshdesk ticket changes?

Short answer: In TinyCommand, add the Freshdesk Ticket Updated 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.

for the curious

You don’t need to read this. TinyCommand auto-maps every field into the visual picker so downstream nodes can pull values by clicking. We show it here for power users who want to know what’s on the wire.

FAQ

Questions about Ticket Updated.

How does the Ticket Updated trigger work in Freshdesk?

Fires whenever any field on a Freshdesk ticket changes (status, priority, assignee, group, custom fields). Combine with a field filter to react only to the changes you care about.

Is the Ticket Updated trigger real-time?

Yes. Ticket Updated uses webhooks or push subscriptions, not polling. Your workflow fires within seconds of the event happening in Freshdesk.

What data does Ticket Updated 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 Ticket Updated 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 Ticket Updated?

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.
