The problem
Messy contact data hides in the Freshdesk list view
Duplicate people, contacts with no company and companies with no domain build up in Freshdesk, and the list view gives you no way to spot them. Finding them means sorting and scrolling by hand, so the clean up keeps slipping.
Without PopdockAI
- Sort the contact list again and again looking for repeats
- Open each contact to see if a company is linked
- Compare email domains with company domains by eye
- Put the clean up off because it never ends
With PopdockAI
- Contacts and companies are read and checked in one pass
- Unlinked, duplicate and incomplete records are counted by problem
- Examples come by id and name, with phones and emails left out
- Nothing is changed, and a partial audit is clearly marked

**Objective:** Audit contact and company records for data quality problems, looking at no more than {max-records} of each (default 200).
**Step 1: Read the records**
Call `freshdesk-get-contacts` with `active` true and `freshdesk-get-companies`, both with `max-records` set to the limit.
**Step 2: Check**
* Contacts with no `company-id`, or whose email domain matches a company's `domains` but who are not linked to it
* Contacts sharing the same `email` or the same `name` and `phone`
* Contacts missing `email` and `phone`
* Companies with no `domains`, `industry` or `account-tier`, and duplicate company names
**Step 3: Report**
A section per problem type with counts and up to 10 examples (id and name only), then a suggested clean-up order. Do not include phone numbers or emails in the examples.
**Rules & Guidelines:**
* Never call any write tool: `freshdesk-add-ticket`, `freshdesk-update-ticket`, `freshdesk-delete-ticket`, `freshdesk-add-ticket-note`, `freshdesk-reply-to-ticket`, `freshdesk-add-contact`, `freshdesk-update-contact`, `freshdesk-delete-contact`, `freshdesk-add-company`, `freshdesk-update-company`, `freshdesk-delete-company`, `freshdesk-add-group`, `freshdesk-update-group`, `freshdesk-delete-group`, `freshdesk-add-time-entry`, `freshdesk-update-time-entry` or `freshdesk-delete-time-entry`. This job is read-only.
* Only report what the data shows; label it a sample when the limit was reached.
**Validation:**
* If the limit was reached, say the audit is partial.Who it's for
One answer, three teams that use it
Support operations
Know where the contact data is broken
Get counts and examples for every problem type, plus a suggested order to fix them, without building filters in Freshdesk.
Check 300 Freshdesk contacts and 150 companies for duplicates, missing companies and blank fields, and tell me what to fix first.
Support team leads
Stop tickets landing on the wrong company
Contacts whose email domain matches a company they are not linked to are listed, so tickets roll up to the right account again.
Which Freshdesk contacts have an email domain like contoso.com but are not linked to the Contoso company?
CRM and data admins
Plan a clean up before a migration or sync
See how many duplicate contacts and company names you have before you connect Freshdesk to another system and copy the mess across.
