How do I search Freshdesk tickets?
Short answer: You can search tickets in Freshdesk by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Freshdesk Search Tickets action to a workflow, map its 1 input from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.
Inputs
The fields this action accepts.
Every field can be mapped from an upstream trigger, AI step, table row, or hard-coded literal.
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
Search Query query | string | Required | Freshdesk search query (e.g. "status:2 AND priority:3") |
Sample request
{"query": "e.g. \"status:2 AND priority:4\" or \"tag:'billing'\""}
Returns
{"total": 5,"results": [{"id": 123,"status": 2,"subject": "Login issue","priority": 4}]}
Use these fields in downstream nodes for routing, logging, or error handling.

FAQ
Questions about Search Tickets.
What does the Search Tickets action do in Freshdesk?
Searches Freshdesk tickets using a query string (status, priority, agent_id, group_id, created_at, custom fields). Use for SLA dashboards, segment reports, and upsert lookups.
What inputs does Search Tickets require?
Required: Search Query. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.
Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?
Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.
What happens if Freshdesk returns an error?
The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Freshdesk returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.
Does Search Tickets support batch operations?
Run Search Tickets inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within Freshdesk's rate limits.
