# Freshdesk integration

Freshdesk is a cloud-based helpdesk system that offers powerful solutions for customer service. Freshdesk brings together conversations from email, phone, web, chat, and social media and helps you resolve issues across channels effortlessly.

With sipgate, you can make calls directly in Freshdesk and use your contacts in the sipgate app. This way, you always see who is calling and do not have to switch between different tools. sipgate is your phone system with the telephony app for desktop and mobile.
