Configuring a Freshdesk Standard Connector

Updated 

The Freshdesk Standard Connector enables the user to import email and channel agnostic cases from Freshdesk into the Sprinklr platform in a channel agnostic manner. Using the Freshdesk Standard Connector eliminates the need for the customer to put the files in an SFTP/S3/GCS bucket in the Sprinklr specified format.

Freshdesk Standard Connector is a Recurring Connector that can create entities in the platform in a live pipeline like manner without any intervention from the user. These connectors need to be activated so that they can start fetching the cases in a live manner. Note that this is true even for SFTP/S3/GCS connectors.

Note: For information on getting permission, please refer What is a Unified Data Connector.
