Help Desk#

Help Desk integrations in Formie let you automatically create support tickets from form submissions in platforms like Zendesk and Gorgias. This is ideal for contact, support, or issue-reporting forms that should route directly to your customer service team.

Formie uses Craft‘s Queue system to send data to third-party providers. When a submission is successful a job is added to the queue so that it can be processed asynchronously.

You can create Help Desk integrations by going to Formie → Settings → Help Desk. You can pick from a list of providers Formie supports, and provide details for connecting to their respective APIs. You can also create multiple Help Desk integrations, in case you need to connect to multiple, different providers.

​
Supported Providers#

Formie integrates with the following providers:

  • Freshdesk
  • Gorgias
