Check Freshdesk time against Jira worklogs before billing
For finance teams who ask their AI assistant to compare the time logged on a Freshdesk ticket with the worklogs on a Jira issue.

Connector
Connect Freshdesk, pick your AI tool and paste the prompt.
The problem
Support time and engineering time never add up
Support logs time on a Freshdesk ticket and engineers log time on the linked Jira issue, and the totals should agree for billing. Different units, names and days mean checking them takes manual conversion and matching.
Without PopdockAI
- Export time entries from the Freshdesk ticket
- Export worklogs from the Jira issue
- Convert units and match people by hand
- Bill without knowing if they agree
With PopdockAI
- Time entries with agent names and Jira worklogs are read
- Both sides are converted to hours with the method stated
- Totals and the difference are shown, agreeing within 5 percent
- Unmatched entries are listed, and no time is changed

**Objective:** For Freshdesk ticket `{ticket-id}` and Jira issue `{issue-key}`, compare the time logged in each system.
**Step 1: Read the Freshdesk side (freshdesk server)**
Call `freshdesk-get-time-entries` with `ticket-id` = `{ticket-id}`. Keep `agent-id`, `time-spent`, `billable`, `executed-at`, `note`. Call `freshdesk-get-agents` with `agent-id` for each distinct agent to get names. If there are no entries, record zero time.
**Step 2: Read the Jira side (jira server)**
Call `jira-get-issue` with `issue-key` = `{issue-key}`. If nothing returns, stop and say the issue was not found. Then call `jira-get-issue-worklog` with `issue-id` = `{issue-key}`. If that returns nothing, say so, because the filter may expect the numeric issue id rather than the key. Keep `author-name`, `time-spent-in-seconds`, `started-date`, `comment`.
**Step 3: Report**
Total time in each system (convert both to hours), the difference, and a per-person table matching Freshdesk agent names to Jira `author-name` (match on full name, flag anything uncertain). List entries on one side with no counterpart on the same day. Note that Freshdesk `billable` has no Jira equivalent.
**Rules & Guidelines:**
* `freshdesk-get-time-entries` and `freshdesk-get-agents` are on the freshdesk server; `jira-get-issue` and `jira-get-issue-worklog` are on the jira server.
* Read only. Never call `freshdesk-add-time-entry`, `freshdesk-update-time-entry`, `freshdesk-delete-time-entry`, `jira-add-issue-worklog` or any other write tool.
**Validation:**
* Freshdesk `time-spent` is a duration string and Jira is in seconds; state the conversion you used.
* If the two totals differ by less than 5 percent, say they agree.Who it's for
One answer, three teams that use it
Billing analysts
Check time before it goes on an invoice
Totals in hours from both systems, with the difference, tell you whether the work is ready to bill.
Do the hours on Freshdesk ticket 11230 agree with the worklogs on Jira issue ENG-512?
Support managers
See who logged what
A per person table shows each agent and engineer's time, with uncertain name matches flagged.
Break down time per person on Freshdesk ticket 9876 and Jira issue SUP-330.
Engineering managers
Find time logged on one side only
Entries with no counterpart on the same day show where logging habits differ between teams.
Which time entries on Freshdesk ticket 10482 have no Jira worklog on the same day for SUP-214?
How it works
What PopdockAI does when you ask
You give a ticket and an issue, and your AI assistant compares the time logged on each. It stops if the issue is not found and never edits an entry or worklog.
01
Ask
You give the Freshdesk ticket and the Jira issue.
02
Read
It reads the time entries with agent names and the Jira worklogs.
03
Convert
It converts both sides to hours and says how.
04
Report
You get totals, the difference, a per person table and entries with no match on the same day.
