Frequently asked questions

Ceven implements a smart queuing system to respect the Freshservice API limits which vary based on your plan tier. If the agent hits a rate limit, it automatically pauses requests and uses an exponential backoff strategy to retry them without failing the workflow. For high volume asset imports or bulk ticket updates, the agent batches requests to minimize the number of calls made per minute. You can monitor the queue status in your workflow logs to see if any requests are being delayed due to these limits. This ensures that your primary service desk operations remain fast while the background automation processes large data sets.
Yes. The agent can read and write to any location defined in your Freshservice asset module. When creating or updating assets, you can pass the specific location ID to ensure the hardware is tracked to the correct office or data center. This is particularly useful for global teams where the agent can automatically assign a ticket to the local IT lead based on the asset location. The agent can also run reports across all locations to identify where hardware is concentrated or where stock levels are low, allowing for better procurement planning across your entire organization.
Ceven can read and write to both standard and custom fields in Freshservice. When you connect your account, the agent maps your custom field schema so you can reference them by name in your prompts. For example, if you have a custom field for Department Code or Cost Center, the agent can pull that value to route the ticket to the correct finance approver. When creating tickets, the agent ensures that required custom fields are populated to prevent API errors, making the automation feel like a native part of your existing service desk configuration.
Yes. By combining the search tickets action with a large language model, Ceven can analyze how similar incidents were solved in the past. When a new ticket arrives, the agent searches for tickets with similar keywords and presents the most successful resolution steps to the technician as a draft. If the resolution is a standard procedure, like a password reset or software access grant, the agent can execute the fix via other connected tools and then close the Freshservice ticket automatically, notifying the user that their issue is resolved without human intervention.
Ceven operates using the permissions of the API key or OAuth token used during connection. If the connecting user is an Agent with restricted access to certain groups or departments, Ceven will only be able to see and modify tickets within those boundaries. It cannot bypass the role based access control defined in your Freshservice admin panel. We recommend using a dedicated service account with a specific Agent role that has the exact permissions needed for your workflows, ensuring a clear audit trail of which changes were made by the AI agent versus a human.
Ceven can streamline the creation of knowledge base articles by analyzing resolved tickets. When a technician marks a complex issue as resolved, the agent can draft a structured knowledge base article based on the ticket conversation and the final solution. This draft is then pushed to Freshservice as a pending article for a human editor to review and publish. This turns the daily work of solving tickets into a continuous improvement cycle for your self service portal, reducing the number of repetitive tickets over time as users find answers themselves.
Ceven relies on the Freshservice API for state synchronization. If a ticket is deleted manually in the Freshservice dashboard, any subsequent attempt by a workflow to update or read that ticket will return a not found error. The agent handles this gracefully by logging the error and notifying the workflow owner if a critical step failed. Because Freshservice does not provide a permanent delete webhook for all tiers, the agent typically verifies the existence of a ticket before attempting a write operation to ensure the workflow does not crash on missing data.
Yes. The agent can act as a bridge between Freshservice and other tools like Jamf, Intune, or a custom SQL database. You can set up a workflow that triggers every hour to pull the latest device states from your MDM and update the corresponding asset records in Freshservice. This prevents the common problem of stale data where a laptop is marked as active in the service desk but has been decommissioned in the MDM. By automating this sync, your IT team always has a real time view of their hardware fleet.
