Freshdesk toolkit for Arcade lets agents and LLMs interact with a Freshdesk helpdesk — reading and managing tickets, contacts, companies, and knowledge base articles via the Freshdesk REST API.
Capabilities
- Ticket lifecycle — open tickets, post public replies, add private notes, update status/priority/assignee/group, merge duplicates, and retrieve full conversation history including notes
- Contact & company management — create or update contacts and companies, look up records by id, and search by name, email, or company affiliation
- Unified customer context — fetch a requester's contact record, company, and full ticket history in a single call
- Knowledge base access — search published solution articles by keyword and retrieve full article content by id
- Routing & discovery — list agents (filterable by email) and groups to support ticket assignment logic
- Account verification — confirm the connected Freshdesk domain and validate the API key identity via a

FRESHDESK_API_KEY
The API key for the Freshdesk account the tools will act as. Retrieve it from your Freshdesk portal: go to Profile Settings (avatar → Profile Settings) and copy the key shown under Your API Key in the right-hand panel. The key carries the permissions of the agent whose profile it belongs to; use an admin-level agent if your workflows require full access. See Freshdesk API key docs.
FRESHDESK_DOMAIN
Your Freshdesk subdomain — the <subdomain> portion of https://<subdomain>.freshdesk.com. This is set when the account is created and is visible in the browser address bar on any Freshdesk page. Pass the bare subdomain string (e.g., acme), not the full URL.
Store both secrets in Arcade using the secrets guide or the Arcade dashboard.

Behavior
| Tool name | Description | Secrets | |
|---|---|---|---|
Add an internal private note to a ticket that the requester cannot see. | 2 | ||
Create a new company account or update an existing one. To create, omit company_id and
provide a name; link a contact to the result by passing its id as a contact's company. | 2 | ||
Create a new contact or update an existing one. To create, omit contact_id and
provide a name plus at least one of email, phone, or mobile. | 2 | ||
Open a ticket on a customer's behalf. Requires a subject, a description, and a
requester identified by email or id. | 2 | ||
Read a single knowledge base article's full content by id.
A missing id returns a not-found envelope (``found`` false) rather than raising, so a
stale or guessed id can be recovered from within the same turn. | 2 | ||
Read a single company's details by id.
A missing id returns a not-found envelope (``found`` false) rather than raising, so a
stale or guessed id can be recovered from within the same turn. | 2 | ||
Read a single contact's details by id.
A missing id returns a not-found envelope (``found`` false) rather than raising, so a
stale or guessed id can be recovered from within the same turn. | 2 | ||
Assemble one requester's full context — their contact record, their company, and their
tickets — in a single call instead of three separate lookups.
Identify the requester by contact_id or email; a missing requester returns a not-found
envelope rather than raising, so a stale id or wrong email can be recovered in the same turn. | 2 | ||
Read a ticket together with its full public-reply and private-note history.
A missing id returns a not-found envelope (``found`` false) rather than raising, so a
stale or guessed id can be recovered from within the same turn. | 2 | ||
List the helpdesk's agents, optionally filtered to one email, for routing tickets. | 2 | ||
List the helpdesk's groups for routing tickets to a team. | 2 | ||
Merge duplicate tickets into one. Use this to consolidate related tickets from the same
requester so the conversation lives in a single place; the secondary tickets are closed. | 2 | ||
Post a public reply on a ticket that the requester can see. | 2 | ||
Search the knowledge base for published solution articles matching a term. | 2 | ||
Find companies by name. Match is by name prefix; use the full name for an exact hit.
Returns lightweight summaries without the company note; read a single company by id for
its full detail. | 2 | ||
Find contacts by name, exact email, or company. With no filters, returns recent
contacts.
Combining a name with a company scans up to the company's first 1000 contacts and matches the
name among them; at a company with more contacts than that, a name match recorded beyond the
scan may not appear. | 2 | ||
Find tickets in the queue by status, priority, requester, agent, group, tag,
type, or recency. With no filters, returns the most recently updated tickets.
Pass requester_id (or requester_email) to pull one customer's full ticket history;
other filters then refine that requester's tickets. A just-created ticket may take a
moment to appear here while Freshdesk indexes it. | 2 | ||
Change a ticket's status, priority, assignee, or group. Fields left unset are
unchanged; at least one field must be provided. | 2 | ||
Return the authenticated Freshdesk agent's profile.
Use this to verify the configured API key and confirm which Freshdesk account
(domain) the tools are connected to; it is not a required preamble to the other tools. | 2 |
