Keep Google Sheets and Freshdesk updated automatically.
Today you keep everything in a spreadsheet and then retype it into the system that actually has to act on it. This connector fixes that, and we build it on request: what happens in Google Sheets lands in Freshdesk by itself, in the shape Freshdesk expects. Tell us what you need and we agree exactly what should travel.

Common questions
Can you connect Google Sheets to Freshdesk?
Yes. Schakel connects through the official APIs of Google Sheets 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 Google Sheets 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.
From what moment in Google Sheets does something reach Freshdesk?
As soon as you add or finish the row or task in Google Sheets that you chose as the trigger, it reaches Freshdesk.
What does connecting Google Sheets 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 Google Sheets 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 Google Sheets 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 Google Sheets to Freshdesk?
You give Schakel access to Google Sheets 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.
Missing something you need?
