Freshdesk Connection with opnbi using airbyte
Let's make the connection between freshdesk and opnbi using the airbyte. Here, we take API key from freshdesk and integrate it in the airbyte using source to the destination then we add that Datasource connection into the opnbi to fetch the data.
Now, here we have some questions about the connection,
- does that work only once or 2. do we need to make the connection for every new freshdesk user. Basically, we need to make the connection only once in airbyte but if we find any change between one user to another user on freshdesk then we need to make a separate connection or just change the 'Personal Access Token' in airbyte.
Connection Overview
We connect the freshdesk with the opnbi using the airbyte, where we take the data from freshdesk and can make the reports and dashboards in opnbi.
Here airbyte provides the active synchronization of data from freshdesk to opnbi. the synchronization can be automatic or manual as per the user's requirements.

Note
- The Airbyte only takes the data from the Vendor and delivers it to the opnbi application.
