In a typical situation (without the integration) agents receive a call, ask the caller their name, open Freshdesk and hope that the information about the customer is up-to-date. Then, they most likely manually enter information into the Freshdesk while
the customer is on the call.
This inefficient process canresult in confusion, disorganization and adecline incustomer satisfactionand sales.
The Talkdesk Freshdesk integration resolves these issues.
