FAQ
Questions about Note Added.
How does the Note Added trigger work in Freshdesk?
Fires when a note (private or public) is added to a Freshdesk ticket. Use to mirror agent discussion into chat or to push transcripts into your knowledge base.
Is the Note Added trigger real-time?
Yes. Note Added uses webhooks or push subscriptions, not polling. Your workflow fires within seconds of the event happening in Freshdesk.
What data does Note Added 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 Note Added 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 Note Added?
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.
