Hyperproof uses Merge, a third-party API, to retrieve data from Ticketing apps. Hyperproof uses the Attachment, Collection, Role, Tag, Team, Ticket, and User scopes. If you are interested in learning more about the permissions needed for Ticketing Hypersyncs that use Merge, refer to the Merge Authentication Guides page in their Help Center.
Note: This Hypersync is not supported in Hyperproof Gov.
When you configure a Hypersync for Freshdesk on a control or label, you can automatically collect the following proof types:
Freshdesk proof types and fields
Proof type | Fields | Testable |
List of Groups | Name, Description, Remote ID | Yes |
List of Issues | Name/Subject, Status, Priority, Assignees, Creator, Due Date, Created, Updated, Completed, Tags, Ticket URL | Yes |
List of Users | Name, Email, Active, Teams, Roles, Remote ID | Yes |
Blocking sensitive data
When Hyperproof connects to a Merge Hypersync, we intentionally minimize data exposure and follow least-privilege principles. Sensitive data can't be blocked entirely from within Hyperproof; it can only be blocked at the source. We recommend working with the System Administrator for the app you are accessing to configure a service account specifically for Hyperproof with access only to the data you need the Hypersync to collect.
Requirements
To connect to Freshdesk and collect proof, your Freshdesk configuration must meet the following requirements.
Subdomain - Your Freshdesk subdomain. For example, if you log in to Freshdesk at
acme.freshdesk.com, your subdomain is acme.API Key - To locate:
Log in to Freshdesk.
Hover over your profile picture and select Profile settings from the menu.
Click View API Key.
Copy the API key and store it in a secure location.
Note: Hyperproof connects to many third-party systems that frequently change, including the system interface. Contact your System Administrator or the third-party provider for assistance in meeting the requirements to integrate with Hyperproof and collect the proof you need.
Connection configuration
Authentication type: Custom
Custom authentication parameters: Subdomain, API Key
When you configure a Hypersync for Freshdesk for the first time, you must provide the following information:
Subdomain

The first time you run this Hypersync, it may take up to 24 hours to load all data.
Note: You only need to connect Hyperproof to the app once, and then you can create as many Hypersyncs as you need.
Additionally, you can create multiple Hypersyncs for a single control or label.
