Common questions
Can you connect Exact Online to Freshdesk?
Yes. Schakel connects through the official APIs of Exact Online and Freshdesk, so you install nothing on your own server and nothing travels outside those two parties.
Is a ticket created automatically in Freshdesk?
Yes. What arrives from Exact Online becomes a ticket in Freshdesk for the right customer, so a question does not sit somewhere unanswered.
Does Freshdesk recognise the sender as an existing customer?
The sender is looked up by email in Freshdesk and attached to the existing contact; with no match, a new contact is created.
What does connecting Exact Online and Freshdesk cost?
You start free and only pay once the connector is really running. After that the same tiers apply as for any other connector, based on how much runs through it each month.
How often does Exact Online sync with Freshdesk?
That depends on your tier: hourly on the free tier up to real time on the unlimited tier. You can always start a sync yourself as well.
What if Exact Online or Freshdesk is briefly unavailable?
Nothing gets lost. Schakel retries later and the log shows exactly what happened, so at most you notice something coming through a little later.
How do I connect Exact Online to Freshdesk?
You give Schakel access to Exact Online and Freshdesk once and pick what should travel. We set it up together with you, so no technical knowledge is needed, and after that it runs by itself.
Is my Exact Online data safe in this connector?
Your credentials are stored encrypted and we only process what is needed to update Freshdesk. We sell nothing on and comply with the GDPR.
