How to connect Freshdesk and Circle

In the workspace, click the “Create New Scenario” button.

Add the First Step

Triggers can be scheduled, called by a Freshdesk, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Freshdesk or Circle will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Freshdesk or Circle, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Freshdesk, Circle, 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 Freshdesk and Circle integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Freshdesk and Circle (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Freshdesk and Circle
