Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Close CRM, Freshdesk, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy." Activating the scenario ensures it will run automatically whenever the trigger node receives input or a condition is met. By default, all newly created scenarios are deactivated.
Test the Scenario
Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the Close CRM and Freshdesk integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Close CRM and Freshdesk (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Close CRM and Freshdesk
Close CRM + Freshdesk + Slack: When a lead's status changes to 'Closed' in Close CRM, a ticket is created in Freshdesk to address any post-sale support needs, and a notification is sent to the support team in Slack.
Freshdesk + Jira + Close CRM: When a ticket is updated in Freshdesk, specifically when a note is added, a new issue is created in Jira for escalation purposes. The lead associated with the ticket is then updated in Close CRM to reflect the Jira issue.
