Intro

Freshservice is a cloud-based service desk and IT service management (ITSM) solution. It helps IT organizations streamline their service delivery processes with a strong focus on user experience and employee happiness. Use Domo’s Freshservice V2 connector to receive data about agents, agent groups, all tickets, conversions on tickets, and so on. To learn more about the Freshservice API, visit their page (http://api.Freshservice.com/). You connect to your Freshservice V2 account in the Data Center. This topic discusses the fields and menus that are specific to the Freshservice V2 connector user interface. General information for adding DataSets, setting update schedules, and editing DataSet information is discussed in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.

Prerequisites

To connect to your Freshservice V2 account and create a DataSet, you must have the following:
  • API Key
  • Domain

Connecting to Your Freshservice V2 Account

This section enumerates the options in the Credentials and Details panes in the Freshservice V2 Connector page. The components of the other panes in this page, Scheduling and Name & Describe Your DataSet, are universal across most connector types and are discussed in greater length in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.

Credentials Pane

This pane contains fields for entering credentials to connect to your Freshservice account. The following table describes what is needed for each field:
Field Description
API Key

The API Key associated with your Freshservice V2 account.

2) Select your profile picture on the top right corner of your portal.
3) Go to the Profile settings Page. Your API key will be available below the Delegate Approvals section to your right.
