Connecting Freshdesk
Freshdesk setup requirements
To set up Freshdesk in Stitch, you need:
-
Administrator permissions in Freshdesk. As Stitch will only be able to replicate data that the authorizing user access to, we recommend that someone with these permissions complete the setup. For example: if the authorizing user only has access to a handful of tickets, Stitch will only be able to access and replicate the data for those tickets.
Having a Freshdesk administrator create the integration will ensure that Stitch is able to replicate all the data in your Freshdesk account.
Step 1: Retrieve your Freshdesk API Key
- Sign into your Freshdesk account.
- Click the user menu (your icon) > Profile Settings.
- Your API Key will display under the Change Password section of your profile page.
Leave this page open for now - you’ll need it to wrap things up in Stitch.
Step 2: Add Freshdesk as a Stitch data source
- Sign into your Stitch account.
-
On the Stitch Dashboard page, click the Add Integration button.
-
Click the Freshdesk icon.
-
Enter a name for the integration. This is the name that will display on the Stitch Dashboard for the integration; it’ll also be used to create the schema in your destination.
For example, the name “Stitch Freshdesk” would create a schema called
stitch_freshdeskin the destination. Note: Schema names cannot be changed after you save the integration.
Step 3: Define the historical replication start date
The Sync Historical Data setting defines the starting date for your Freshdesk integration. This means that data equal to or newer than this date will be replicated to your data warehouse.
Change this setting if you want to replicate data beyond Freshdesk’s default setting of 1 year. For a detailed look at historical replication jobs, check out the Syncing Historical SaaS Data guide.
Step 4: Create a replication schedule
In the Replication Frequency section, you’ll create the integration’s replication schedule. An integration’s replication schedule determines how often Stitch runs a replication job, and the time that job begins.
Freshdesk integrations support the following replication scheduling methods:
-
Advanced Scheduling using Cron (Advanced or Premium plans only)
To keep your row usage low, consider setting the integration to replicate less frequently. See the Understanding and Reducing Your Row Usage guide for tips on reducing your usage.
Initial and historical replication jobs
After you finish setting up Freshdesk, its Sync Status may show as Pending on either the Stitch Dashboard or in the Integration Details page.
For a new integration, a Pending status indicates that Stitch is in the process of scheduling the initial replication job for the integration. This may take some time to complete.
Initial replication jobs with Anchor Scheduling
If using Anchor Scheduling, an initial replication job may not kick off immediately. This depends on the selected Replication Frequency and Anchor Time. Refer to the Anchor Scheduling documentation for more information.
Free historical data loads
The first seven days of replication, beginning when data is first replicated, are free. Rows replicated from the new integration during this time won’t count towards your quota. Stitch offers this as a way of testing new integrations, measuring usage, and ensuring historical data volumes don’t quickly consume your quota.

Schemas and versioning
Schemas and naming conventions can change from version to version, so we recommend verifying your integration’s version before continuing.
The schema and info displayed below is for version 1 of this integration.
Table and column names in your destination
Depending on your destination, table and column names may not appear as they are outlined below.
For example: Object names are lowercased in Redshift (CusTomERs > customers), while case is maintained in PostgreSQL destinations (CusTomERs > CusTomERs). Refer to the Loading Guide for your destination for more info.
