GroWrk + Freshservice integration for streamlined IT Asset Management

Connecting your service desk with IT asset management helps teams keep employee and device data aligned without extra manual work. The GroWrk and Freshservice integration simplifies data synchronization across platforms, keeping onboarding, asset tracking, and day-to-day operations accurate and efficient.

By integrating Freshservice with GroWrk, IT teams can automatically keep employee and device information up to date, reducing the need to switch tools or reconcile data across systems.

What Is Freshservice?

Freshservice, developed by Freshworks, is a cloud-based IT service desk platform designed to support modern IT teams. It provides ticketing, automation, and multi-channel support to help teams manage incidents, requests, and internal services more efficiently.

Built on an open platform, Freshservice offers APIs and customization options that allow organizations to adapt workflows to their needs. Thousands of companies use Freshservice to centralize IT support and service management for growing, distributed teams.

Why integrate GroWrk with Freshservice?

Freshservice acts as a system of record for IT service workflows, while GroWrk manages the physical device lifecycle. Integrating the two ensures that employee and device data stays aligned between support requests and asset execution.

For IT teams, this means:

• Fewer manual updates between platforms

• More reliable employee and device records

• Smoother onboarding experiences for end users

Benefits of integrating GroWrk with Freshservice

Always up-to-date employee and device data

Employee and device information syncs automatically every 24 hours, keeping both platforms aligned. New hires, role changes, and device status updates are reflected in the GroWrk Dashboard automatically.

Faster employee onboarding

Once the integration is set up, admins can immediately invite employees to GroWrk. Invitations can be sent automatically or manually, enabling employees to access the GroWrk Employee Dashboard and complete the required steps to receive their equipment without delay.

Improved workflows and operational efficiency

Automated data synchronization reduces administrative effort and minimizes errors. With a unified view of employee and device information, IT teams can focus less on data maintenance and more on supporting the business.

How to connect GroWrk with Freshservice

Connecting GroWrk with Freshservice is a straightforward process that seamlessly imports your employee and device data. Follow these simple steps to set up the integration:

1. In the Integrations Setup page, enter your Freshservice URL and API Key
2. Select whether to send an invitation to the Employee Dashboard for synced users
3. Click Set Up
4. You’ll be notified once the integration is active

Choose your sync direction

After setup, choose how data flows between platforms:

• Freshservice → GroWrk 
• GroWrk → Freshservice
• Bidirectional sync

This allows you to control which system serves as the source of truth and how updates are propagated across platforms.

Configure synced fields

To select the fields you want to sync:

1. Go to the Sync Configuration Settings tab in the Integrations Setup page
2. Choose which fields to sync for employees and devices
3. Click Save
4. Navigate to the Set Up tab and click Update under Resync to apply changes

GroWrk will automatically sync data every 24 hours.

Customizing filters for data sync

The Freshservice integration supports two types of filters: employee filters and product filters. These allow you to include or exclude specific data based on your company’s needs.

1. In the Integrations Setup page, select the Filters tab
2. Click the edit icon for the filter you’d like to change
3. Choose the filter type: Include or Exclude
4. Make your selections (e.g., countries, departments, product types)
5. Click Save
6. When finished, click Continue to apply your filter configuration

Employee role assignment

When syncing employees from GroWrk to Freshservice, you can choose how those users are categorized in Freshservice.

• Requestors: End users who can submit tickets and requests
• Agents: Team members with permission to resolve tickets and manage assets 

To assign a role: 

1. In the Integrations Setup page, locate the Employee Role Assignment section
2. Select whether synced users should be created as Requestors or Agents
3. Save your selection before continuing setup

This ensures employees appear in Freshservice with the correct access level.

Filtering Agent and device data

Our integration with Freshservice offers two groups of filters, one for employee data and one for product data. If you select Freshservice → GroWrk or Bidirectional Sync, go to the Filters tab to set your data filtering preferences. These filters let you control exactly which users and devices get synced, so you’re only pulling in what matters to your team.

Below is a list of the specific Agent and device information you can import into your GroWrk Dashboard.

Employee filters:

• Countries: Include or exclude employees based on their country.
• Teams: Sync data for specific teams within your organization.
• Status: Filter employees by their status, such as active or inactive.
• Employment types: Include or exclude employees based on their contract type, such as full-time or part-time.

Product filters:

• Product types: Sync specific types of devices, such as laptops or servers.
• Manufacturers: Include or exclude devices from certain manufacturers.

Please note that Agent information will be synced as employee information on GroWrk. Devices will only be synced if they have a serial number and are assigned to a Freshservice Agent.

Advantages for IT Operations
