What you can do

Four things you can do once Freshdesk is connected

Freshdesk captures your CSAT data and ticket outcomes. Plum turns that data into automatic gift rewards for customers and agents.

Customer reward gifts triggered by high CSAT scores

CSAT ratings above your threshold trigger a Plum gift
Set a CSAT threshold in the integration settings. When a Freshdesk ticket closes with a rating at or above that threshold, Plum automatically sends a thank-you gift to the customer.
Gift delivery without any manual step
The trigger fires at ticket closure - no agent action, no supervisor approval. The customer receives their gift link before the next ticket opens.

Agents rewarded for resolution milestones and SLA performance

Support KPIs drive automatic agent reward programs
First contact resolution rates, SLA achievement percentages, and top CSAT agent scores trigger Plum agent reward programs automatically from Freshdesk data.
Agent recognition tied to measurable performance
Because rewards are triggered by Freshdesk metrics, agents are recognized for outcomes - not just effort - making the recognition feel earned.

Close the loop on great support with a gift

Customers who give 5-star feedback receive a thank-you gift
A personalized thank-you gift is sent automatically when a customer leaves a top CSAT rating, turning a positive experience into a memorable one.
No manual send, no missed follow-up
Every qualifying CSAT response triggers a gift - no one falls through the cracks because a supervisor forgot to send a reward.

Track reward impact on CSAT and ticket volume

Plum reward data overlaid against Freshdesk CSAT trends
See whether gift programs correlate with rising CSAT scores, repeat contacts, or reduced ticket volume by overlaying Plum reward activity with Freshdesk metrics.
Identify which reward programs move the needle
Compare CSAT performance before and after launching a reward program to understand which incentive types drive the strongest customer satisfaction outcomes.

Use cases

Who runs it, and what for

Three ways support teams use Freshdesk data to drive rewards with Plum.

Customer Support

Thank high-rating customers automatically

Support teams configure a CSAT threshold once and Plum sends a personalized thank-you gift to every qualifying customer at ticket closure - no manual work.

CX Leaders

Turn positive CSAT into loyalty moments

CX leaders use automatic gift rewards to close the loop on great support experiences, turning a 5-star rating into a reason for customers to return.

Support Ops

Reward agents for hitting SLA and FCR targets

Support operations teams configure agent performance milestones in Freshdesk that trigger automatic Plum rewards, keeping agents motivated by measurable outcomes.

How it works

From Freshdesk CSAT to delivered gift

Step 1

Connect Freshdesk with Plum

From the Plum admin panel, connect your Freshdesk account using your Freshdesk API key to authorize the integration.

Step 2

Set CSAT threshold and reward amount

Configure the CSAT score that triggers a customer reward, set the gift value, and optionally configure separate agent performance reward triggers.

Step 3

High-CSAT ticket closure triggers a Plum gift

When a Freshdesk ticket closes with a CSAT rating at or above your threshold, Plum generates and sends a gift link automatically.

Step 4

Customer receives gift link via email

The customer receives an email with their gift link. They choose from the Plum catalog - gift cards, experiences, charity - and claim their reward.
