How Can End-users Access a Portal in Freshdesk After the Data Migration? [+Video]
Even though it's not that complicated, accessing a portal after the data import to Freshdesk is a pitfall for many. Thus, we decided to cover the process in detail to help you out. We hope that this guide will make things clear for you.
Upon the transfer to Freshdesk, agents need to accept the activation email. The latter will only appear if the ‘User Activation Email’ button was turned on.
If you did enable the button, after the data migration, end-users will receive the activation email where they can just click on the activation link. That will open an ‘Activate your account’ landing, where they’ll have to provide their full name and make up a password. That’s all it takes to be active and log in to your account.
After that, click on your profile icon and hit the 'Go to customer portal' button.
The user will be redirected to the portal page immediately.
Having completed all the previous steps, the end-user in Freshdesk can:
- View Tickets
- Search for tickets
- Create tickets
- Update certain fields in tickets
- Comment on tickets
- View articles and sections
- Search articles
