Servicedesk API: Create request has raiseOnBehalfOf, comment has no commentOnBehalfOf

Peter Aragon September 10, 2019

The Servicedesk API tries to do a good job at allowing organizations to integrate Servicedesk for a streamlined, native experience within their own online portals.

POST /servicedeskapi/request has raiseOnBehalfOf which creates the request on behalf of the customer.

However, POST /servicedeskapi/request/{requestKey}/comment currently does not have an 'onBehalfOf' option. 

This has several implications:

  • On the front end, we would have to replace the API user with the customer's name
  • When the customer adds a comment before the support team had a chance, the request status changes from 'Waiting for support' to 'Waiting for customer'

These issues would be solved when comments through API can be made on behalf of users, and the API would allow for better integration with existing branded portals.

Apparently this was asked close to 6 years ago, I can only imagine how far down this already got on your backlog... it has 241 votes, please help to give it some visibility...
