Freshservice Integration (Ticketing and Incident Management)

Integrate Freshservice with Sprinto to automatically sync tickets and incidents as evidence for change management and incident-related compliance controls.

Sprinto integrates with Freshservice to automate evidence collection for Ticketing and Incident Management workflows. Once connected, Sprinto continuously syncs tickets and incidents from Freshservice to help demonstrate that operational and change management processes are followed as required by compliance frameworks.

This integration is commonly used to validate:

• Incident tracking and resolution

• Change management approvals

• Timely closure of tickets

• Ownership and accountability for incidents

How it works

After you connect Freshservice to Sprinto, Sprinto establishes a read-only connection using a Freshservice API key. Sprinto then periodically syncs ticket and incident data from your Freshservice account and maps it to relevant controls and checks.

Sprinto does not modify any data in Freshservice. All access is read-only.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure that:

• You have administrator access to your Freshservice account.

• You know your Freshservice subdomain (for example, acme.freshservice.com).

• You can generate and access a Freshservice API key.

Permissions required

This ensures Sprinto can read tickets, incidents, users, and related metadata without modifying any data.

---

Data used by Sprinto

Sprinto reads the following data from Freshservice:

• Ticket and incident ID

• Name and description

• Status and priority

• Assignee

• Due date

• Ticket type and tags

• Project and collection details

• Created and updated timestamps

• Ticket URL

• User details associated with tickets

---

Key notes

• Sprinto uses read-only access and does not make changes in Freshservice.

• Ticket and incident data is synced automatically after the integration is complete.

• Ensure the API key remains active to avoid sync interruptions.

---

Troubleshooting

If tickets are not syncing:

• Verify that the API key is valid and has not been regenerated or revoked.

• Confirm that the correct Freshservice subdomain was entered.

• Ensure the connecting user still has administrator privileges.

---

Next steps

After completing the integration:

• Review mapped controls in Sprinto to confirm evidence is being collected correctly.

• Monitor sync status from the Integrations page.

• Use Freshservice tickets and incidents as automated evidence during audits.

---

Final Step

After completing Step 4, allow 15 to 20 minutes for Sprinto to finish the data syncing process. Sprinto may take a few hours to evaluate the synced data and activate relevant Sprinto checks. If needed, go to Data Library > Access > Critical System to check for pending tasks next to Tableau.
