Freshdesk Webhook API

The Freshdesk Webhook API enables real-time communication between Freshdesk and external systems by sending HTTP POST requests when specific events occur within the helpdesk. Webhooks can be triggered by ticket creation, updates, status changes, and other support events, allowing developers to build event-driven integrations without polling the REST API.

Freshdesk Webhook API is one of 17 APIs that Freshdesk publishes on the APIs.io network, described by an AsyncAPI event-driven specification.

Tagged areas include Automation, Customer-Support, Event, Notification, and Webhook. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation and an AsyncAPI specification.

This event API exposes 1 operation across 1 channel, and defines 7 schemas. It is described by AsyncAPI 2.6.0, at version 2.0.

The API connects through a single server, {webhookUrl} (https).

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of Freshdesk Webhook API, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
