# Connect Freshdesk <> Emotive

> Learn how to sync data between Freshdesk and Emotive

## Features of the Integration

Our goal with our Freshdesk integration is to allow you to manage all of your Emotive conversations right from within Freshdesk.

* New conversations that happen in Emotive create tickets in Freshdesk
* Opt out shoppers directly from Freshdesk via keyword #optout or #opt-out
* All customer responses from Emotive are added to the same, open ticket in Freshdesk
* Conversations that Emotive starts with customers will sync to provide context for where the conversation was handed off to Freshdesk
* Responding to a ticket in Freshdesk sends a message via Emotive to the customer
* Closing a ticket in Freshdesk closes a Conversation in Emotive
