What we build on Freshdesk

Freshdesk's own reports show averages. Teams that run on it need to know which tickets are about to breach, who owns them, and which agents need coaching. Everything below is built on the Freshdesk API, runs in your own cloud account, and leaves the helpdesk itself untouched.

What we build

Each piece runs in your own cloud account against the Freshdesk API. Adopt one or all of them.

Reporting that goes past the export limits

An incremental sync keyed on updated_since keeps a complete local copy of your tickets, working around the search API's 300-page cap and the rate limits. Aging buckets, per-agent workload, group queues, week-over-week deltas, drill-down links back to each ticket.

Part of helpdesk operations reporting

Owner nudges and escalation

Tickets sorted into respond now, parked, aged and stale by your thresholds. The owner gets one digest with a signed one-click ignore per ticket; the lead is copied only when a ticket keeps slipping. A weekly wins email recognises top closers.

Part of helpdesk operations reporting

Quality checks on outgoing replies

Detection of canned responses sent with unfilled placeholders, replies with no next step, and tickets closed without a customer reply. Flags land in the same digest.

Part of ai quality assurance and agents

AI review of every reply, privately

A two-stage model pipeline scores each reply on seven quality dimensions and writes coaching notes, running on your own hardware or in your cloud account. Nightly churn score per company.

Part of ai quality assurance and agents

Mass email through the helpdesk

Customer notices sent as Freshdesk outbound emails so SPF and DKIM pass and replies become tickets. Merge fields, throttling, and a contact-permission filter.

Part of system integration and workflow automation

Tickets from other systems

Provisioning builds, billing mismatches and survey detractors create or update Freshdesk tickets with the right group, tags and custom fields, so the helpdesk stays the single queue.

Part of system integration and workflow automation

Freshdesk specifics we have already solved

The parts that cost a first-time integrator a week each.

The 300-page search limit

Freshdesk's filter and search endpoints stop at page 300. We page by updated_since with a saved watermark instead, so syncs are complete and fast.

Rate limits per minute

Bursts hit HTTP 429. The sync backs off, retries, and never drops a page; reports run inside the limit without touching agents' interactive use.

Custom fields and ticket types

Reports are keyed on your custom fields (customer tier, product, region), not only the defaults, so the numbers match how your team actually works.

Proof

From production systems, described without client names. Numbers are rounded.

3,750 ticket updates a day

One Freshdesk instance kept fully in sync, incrementally.

Five scheduled report services

About 17,000 lines of reporting and nudge code in production.

13,000+ replies scored

By on-premise models, about 100 a night.

Questions and pricing

If yours is not here, write to hello@tightlywired.com.

Do you need admin access to Freshdesk?
For reporting and nudges, an agent API key with read access to tickets, contacts and groups is enough. Creating tickets or sending outbound email needs write scope on those objects only. You create the key; we never ask for a password.
Does this work with Freshservice?
The same approach works on Freshservice's API (tickets, changes, assets). The reporting and nudge logic transfers; field names differ.
Will it slow down the helpdesk?
No. Everything runs outside Freshdesk against a synced copy. The only writes back are the tickets and emails you choose to create.
What does it cost?
Helpdesk reporting and nudges are a $2,500 setup with optional $600 a month managed support. The AI quality review starts as a $1,500 audit. Integrations that create tickets from other systems are scoped after a free assessment.
