Freshdesk

This connector captures Freshdesk data into Flow collections via the Freshdesk API.

It is available for use in the Flow web application. For local development or open-source workflows, ghcr.io/estuary/source-freshdesk:dev provides the latest version of the connector as a Docker image. You can also follow the link in your browser to see past image versions.

This connector is based on an open-source connector from a third party, with modifications for performance in the Flow system. You can find their documentation here, but keep in mind that the two versions may be significantly different.

By default, each resource is mapped to a Flow collection through a separate binding.
