How do I connect within Freshservice/Splashtop?

You can easily initiate a remote desktop connection to your users’ computers to provide support, directly from within Freshservice tickets! It takes only a few clicks to start a session. After the support case ends, a record of the remote session is automatically inserted into the ticket. Your users do not need to have any software pre-installed for all this to work.

  1. Login to your Freshservice account and navigate to your ticket
  2. Find Apps section and open Splashtop app, then click Create an SOS download link.
