Our freshest integration: Textline + Freshdesk

We are happy to announce that our new Freshdesk integration is up and running. Our seamless integration lets you use Textline’s business texting software natively within Freshdesk’s cloud-based customer service software using a top bar widget or ticket sidebar widget. 

Send and respond to text messages right from Freshdesk, rather than switching back and forth between different platforms when you need to quickly respond to a customer support issue or view a record of all of your conversations. All text conversations are automatically logged on customer tickets, while Freshdesk contacts are saved in Textline’s address book.

• Respond instantly to customers with automatic greetings and away messages.
• Automate your workflow by scheduling messages in advance or using message templates for frequently used messages. 
• Easily transfer text conversations between agents, similar to transferring phone calls.
