Freshservice Microsoft 365 Copilot connector (preview)

The Freshservice Microsoft 365 Copilot connector enables your organization to index Freshservice solution article data to make it available to Microsoft 365 Copilot and Microsoft Search.

This article is for Microsoft 365 administrators or anyone who configures, runs, and monitors the Freshservice Copilot connector.

Note

To access Copilot connectors that are in preview, enable the Targeted release option for your admin account.

Capabilities

  • Access Freshservice solution articles using the power of semantic search.
  • Customize your crawl frequency.
  • Create workflows by using this connection and plugins from Microsoft Copilot Studio.

Limitations

  • Solution articles are indexed only if they are stored in folders set to be visible to All.

Prerequisites

  1. Create a Freshservice account with administrator permission in the Freshservice application.
  2. Navigate to the user profile setting page with the administrator account in the Freshservice application. For more information, see Where do I find my API key for details.

Get started

Choose display name

Choose a display name that helps users easily recognize associated files or items in a Copilot response.

Add the domain URL

Enter the domain URL of your Freshservice account.

Provide authentication type

Select the available authentication type and enter the API key you obtained from your Freshservice user profile setting page.

Roll out to a limited audience

Deploy this connection to a limited user base to validate it in Copilot and other search surfaces before you roll it out to a broader audience.

Custom setup

In custom setup you can edit any of the default values for users, content, and sync.

Users

Access permissions

Only public solution articles with folder visibility to all are indexed using the Freshservice Copilot connector. These solution articles will be visible to all Microsoft 365 users in your tenant, from Microsoft Search or Copilot.

Content

Manage properties

To view available properties from your iManage Cloud data source, assign a schema to the property (define whether a property is searchable, queryable, retrievable, or refinable), change the semantic label, and add an alias in the property. Some properties are selected by default.

Troubleshooting

The following are common errors that can occur and how to resolve them.

  1. Your security credentials have expired for this session. Please go back and sign in again with your App key and App secret. Credential info has expired. Please create a new key in the Freshservice API key setting and copy the latest key from the user profile setting page to authenticate.

  2. Invalid credentials detected. Please check the credential info and check the permission scopes of the Freshservice App. Common credential error. Please go back to the Freshservice API key setting and check if the key is correct.
