How it works

Set it up once. Runs forever.

Three steps to fully automated recurring ticket creation in Freshdesk.

📋 Step 1

Configure a schedule

Choose a frequency — daily, weekly, monthly, or annual. Set the time, ticket fields, and an optional reusable template.

Step 2

Tickets create themselves

At the scheduled time, Freshdesk tickets are created automatically. No manual steps, no reminders needed.

📊 Step 3

Track every run

View logs for every ticket creation attempt and check the metrics dashboard to monitor success rates across all schedules.

Before & after automation

Without Recurring Ticket Schedules
  • Creating routine tickets manually every Monday, month-end, or quarterly
  • Reminding teammates to log recurring tasks before deadlines pass
  • No audit trail for whether a recurring ticket was actually created
  • Admins bottlenecked every time an agent needs a new scheduled task
  • Missed SLA checks and compliance reviews because no one remembered to open a ticket
With Recurring Ticket Schedules
  • Tickets create themselves on daily, weekly, monthly, or annual schedules
  • Agents manage their own schedules directly — no admin involvement needed
  • Every run is logged with timestamp, status, and a link to the created ticket
  • Admins set up org-wide schedules once and they run forever
  • Watchdog automatically recovers any missed run so nothing falls through the cracks

Everything you need

Built for real support team workflows. Every feature designed for speed and clarity.

Agent Schedules

Every agent. Their own schedules.

Agents create, edit, clone, enable, and disable their own recurring ticket schedules — directly from the Freshdesk left nav panel. No admin ticket required, no waiting. Each agent sees their own schedules and can filter to just theirs.

Flexible Recurrence

Any cadence. Any pattern.

Daily at 9 AM. Every Monday and Friday. The last Friday of the month. The third Wednesday of March. Recurring Ticket Schedules supports daily, weekly, monthly, and annual patterns — including first and last weekday of the month — so every team workflow is covered.

Flexible recurrence patterns
Reusable Templates

Define once. Apply everywhere.

Save ticket field configurations as named templates and apply them across multiple schedules. Override individual fields per schedule without touching the original template. See exactly how many schedules use each template at a glance.

Execution Logs

Every run. Every detail.

Every ticket creation attempt is logged with the schedule name, timestamp, source (agent or admin), status, and a direct link to the created ticket. One amber 'Re-scheduled' entry? That's the watchdog auto-recovering a missed run — no manual intervention needed.

Execution logs
Metrics Dashboard

Know your automation at a glance.

The built-in metrics dashboard shows tickets created, failure count, success rate, and active schedule count — across any time window. A stacked bar chart breaks down trends by day. The source breakdown separates agent schedules from admin schedules.

Metrics dashboard
Admin Schedules

Org-wide schedules. Team-wide impact.

Admins configure recurring schedules from the app settings page — no agent involvement needed. Each admin schedule can trigger up to 3 ticket creation actions. The watchdog runs hourly to auto-recover any missed run, so the org's scheduled work never stalls.

Access Control & Alerts

Control access. Stay informed.

Restrict schedule and template actions (view, create, edit, delete) to specific Freshdesk roles — or leave them open to everyone. Opt in to email alerts that fire the moment a ticket fails to create. Configure the recipient, subject, CC list, and sending mailbox from settings.
