Freshdesk and HelpScout integration

How to connect Freshdesk and HelpScout

  • Step 1: Create a new workflow
  • Step 2: Add and configure nodes
  • Step 3: Connect
  • Step 4: Customize and extend your integration
  • Step 5: Test and activate your workflow

Step 1: Create a new workflow and add the first step

In n8n, click the "Add workflow" button in the Workflows tab to create a new workflow. Add the starting point – a trigger on when your workflow should run: an app event, a schedule, a webhook call, another workflow, an AI chat, or a manual trigger. Sometimes, the HTTP Request node might already serve as your starting point.

Step 2: Add and configure Freshdesk and HelpScout nodes

You can find Freshdesk and HelpScout in the nodes panel. Drag them onto your workflow canvas, selecting their actions. Click each node, choose a credential, and authenticate to grant n8n access. Configure Freshdesk and HelpScout nodes one by one: input data on the left, parameters in the middle, and output data on the right.

Step 4: Customize and extend your Freshdesk and HelpScout integration

Use n8n's core nodes such as If, Split Out, Merge, and others to transform and manipulate data. Write custom JavaScript or Python in the Code node and run it as a step in your workflow. Connect Freshdesk and HelpScout with any of n8n’s 1000+ integrations, and incorporate advanced AI logic into your workflows.

Easily debug your workflow: you can check past executions to isolate and fix the mistake. Once you've tested everything, make sure to save your workflow and activate it.
