Authenticate calls from Freshdesk using your Snapshots API credentials. The recommended method is OAuth 2.0 with the scope saas/location.read, and always keep tokens secure.
Freshdesk presents valid credentials to Snapshots API to access endpoints. Use API keys or OAuth tokens as configured in your account, and rotate credentials regularly.
GET /locations — Retrieve a list of locations available in Freshdesk context.
Trigger: on a scheduled sync to refresh the latest location data in Freshdesk.
Actions: fetch locations via GET /locations and map id, name, and country to Freshdesk fields.
GET /locations
id, name, country
Trigger: when a location changes, create or update related tickets in Freshdesk.
Actions: push location context into ticket fields to improve routing and SLAs.
POST /locations/{location_id}/tickets
location_id, ticket_id, status
Trigger: on customer record updates in Snapshots, refresh profile in Freshdesk.
Actions: copy customer fields (name, email, account tier) into Freshdesk contact records.
GET /customers/{id}
customer_id, name, email
Zero-code setup lets your teams connect data sources without writing custom scripts.
Keep data aligned across platforms with scheduled syncs and webhooks.
Automations inside Freshdesk become smarter with richer context from Snapshots API.
Definitions of authentication, endpoints, webhooks, and data mapping used in this Freshdesk + Snapshots API integration.
The process by which apps prove identity to access APIs (e.g., API keys or OAuth tokens).
A specific URL path in an API that performs an action or returns data.
A listener that notifies another service when a defined event occurs.
An open standard for token-based authentication and authorization.
When a ticket is opened or updated, automatically populate location fields from Snapshots API so agents have immediate context.
Route tickets to agents based on the related location data pulled from Snapshots API.
Attach enriched customer profiles to tickets to speed up resolutions and up-sell opportunities.
Generate and securely store your Snapshots API credentials (client ID/secret or API key).
Define which endpoints you will use (e.g., GET /locations, GET /customers) and map fields to Freshdesk.
Run a test sync to verify data flow and field mappings before going live.
Most setups do not require custom code thanks to no-code connectors. You can configure the integration through the UI and tests. For complex needs, you may still use custom scripts.
Yes, the integration uses standard security practices, including OAuth tokens and encrypted transmission. Ensure your tokens are rotated and access is scoped to the minimum required permissions.
Typically GET /locations and GET /customers are the core endpoints for data retrieval. Depending on your use case, more endpoints can be added.
Real-time updates are possible with webhooks or polling. Check the API plan for live update options.
Store tokens securely, rotate regularly, and use scope-limited permissions. Use the platform’s secret storage features.
For endpoints going offline, set retry logic and gracefully handle failures in your automation.
Rate limits vary by plan. See the API docs or pricing page for specifics.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
