FreshService Connector

Intro

FreshService is an IT service desk management system. Use the Domo Fresh Service connector to receive data about assets, changes, departments, releases, tickets and more. To learn more about the FreshService API, visit their page (http://api.freshservice.com/).

You connect to your FreshService account in the Data Center. This topic discusses the fields and menus that are specific to the FreshService connector user interface. General information for adding DataSets, setting update schedules, and editing DataSet information is discussed in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.

Prerequisites

To connect to your FreshService account and create a DataSet, you must have the following:

The subdomain your FreshService account is hosted on. For example, if you log in at domo.freshservice.com, you would just enter domo in this field. You MUST have SSL enabled on your domain.
Your FreshService username and password.

Connecting to Your FreshService Account

This section enumerates the options in the Credentials and Details panes in the FreshService Connector page. The components of the other panes in this page, Scheduling and Name & Describe Your DataSet, are universal across most connector types and are discussed in greater length in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.

Credentials Pane

This pane contains fields for entering credentials to connect to your FreshService account. The following table describes what is needed for each field:

Field	Description
Domain	Enter the subdomain your FreshService account is hosted on.
Username	Enter your FreshService username.
Password	Enter your FreshService password.

Once you have entered valid FreshService credentials, you can use the same account any time you go to create a new FreshService DataSet. You can manage connector accounts in the Accounts tab in the Data Center. For more information about this tab, see Managing User Accounts for Connectors.

Details Pane

This pane contains a single menu from which you select a FreshService report.
