Freshdesk
Freshdesk captures your support interactions, while Planhat serves as the system of commercial execution. By unifying real-time ticket data with the complete customer record, teams transform support burden into actionable context to drive adoption and growth.
Unlock the power of Freshdesk with planhat
Improve net revenue retention
Defend recurring revenue by monitoring ticket-volume-to-contract-value ratios. This visibility allows teams to execute proactive retention plays when high-priority ticket volume indicates qualitative dissatisfaction before it impacts renewal targets.
Shorten time to value
Accelerate implementation handovers by viewing onboarding support threads directly in the customer record. Centralizing early technical queries alongside implementation milestones ensures support burden is visible, reducing friction during initial customer success motions.
Increase process governance
Standardize cross-functional coordination with automated notifications for new high-priority tickets. Linking Freshdesk activity to defined lifecycle stages ensures every account follows a governed follow-through model based on ticket-load thresholds.
Improve commercial predictability
Refine expansion and renewal forecasts by blending support patterns with quantitative behavioral data. Using time-series ticket analysis, leadership gains a reliable view of accounts where unresolved support trends threaten upcoming commercial milestones.
how it works
Flow & configuration
Secure authentication and integration setup
Authorized users connect Freshdesk within the App Center by providing the API key and Freshdesk URL. Planhat generates a unique webhook URL and tenant UUID required to establish the data bridge from your helpdesk instance.
Establish the real-time webhook bridge
Within Freshdesk, administrators create two Automation rules—one for ticket creation and one for ticket updates. These rules post Ticket ID data in JSON format to the Planhat endpoint, enabling ticket data to flow into Planhat near-instantaneously as issues arise or change.
Configure identity matching and End User mapping
Planhat matches incoming tickets to Companies and End Users via the requester’s email address and domain. If a Company exists but the End User is unrecognized, Planhat can optionally auto-create the record to ensure communication history remains complete.
Map labels and custom ticket fields
Admins choose whether to ingest specific ticket labels and custom Freshdesk properties into Planhat’s Conversation model. Once mapped, these fields land as structured ticket data, allowing for granular filtering and coordination across the portfolio.
Execute historical data fetch
For immediate context during implementation, teams run a manual fetch to import up to 16,000 of the most recent historical tickets. This backfill establishes the baseline needed for accurate time-series analysis and initial account review.
