Installation and Configuration
This tutorial will show you how to successfully install and configure Freshdesk For WHMCS.
We will guide you step by step through the whole installation and configuration process.
|
Installation
| 1. Log in to your client area and download Freshdesk For WHMCS.
|
2. Upload and extract the module into the main WHMCS directory.
Files in your WHMCS directory should look like on the following screen.
|
3. When you install Freshdesk For WHMCS for the first time you have to rename 'license_RENAME.php' file.
File is located in 'modules/addons/Freshdesk/license_RENAME.php'. Rename it from 'license_RENAME.php' to 'license.php'.
|
4. In order to configure your license key, you have to edit the previously renamed 'license.php' file.
Enter your license key between quotation marks as presented on the following screen. You can find your license key in your client area → 'My Products'.
|
Activation
5. Now, you have to activate the module in your WHMCS system.
Log in to your WHMCS admin area and proceed to 'Setup' → 'Addon Modules'.
Afterwards, find 'Freshdesk' and press 'Activate' button.
|
6. In the next step you need to permit access to this module.
To do so, click on 'Configure' button, tick checkboxes to assign desired admin roles.
|
| 7. You have just successfully installed Freshdesk For WHMCS!
|
Configuration
Management
Tips
| 1. If you create a custom field in Freshdesk, it will be also visible in WHMCS. Custom fields need to be enabled/visible/editable by the client.
|
| 2. When you add ' clientservice' at the end of the custom field title, a select with list of products and domains will show up.
|
3. Since Freshdesk does not fully support WHMCS option to reopen closed tickets, 'Close ticket 4 days after status is set to solved'
option is currently the only possibility to get around it. To enable configure this option proceed to Freshdesk → Business Rules → Automations.
Find there the option and edit it.
|
Here you can configure the time until when tickets can be reopened by an answer from the client.
Maximum possible time is now 672 hours (28 days).
|
4. Attachments are managed in Freshdesk, therefore if you do not enable them in Freshdesk, your clients will not be allowed to add any in their tickets.
To enable attachments in Freshdesk please move to 'Freshdesk' → 'Settings' → 'Tickets' → 'Attachments'. There enable both options:
- Customers can attach files
- Require authentication to download
|
| In case you can see only one option, make sure you have your 'Help Center' active.
|
Common Problems
| 1. When you have problems with connection, check whether your SELinux or firewall does not block ports.
|
2. When you try to open a new ticket and you get error 'Unable to authenticate' , this means that the user's email is already registered in Freshdesk, but it's not verified yet.
To solve the problem log in to your Freshdesk admin area and verify the email through clicking 'Verify now' as presented on the screen below.
