Usage

Here's how you would use this plugin in a page that contains a form:

form:
    name: contact
    fields:
        -
            name: name
            label: 'Name'
            type: text
        -
            name: email
            label: 'Email Address'
            type: email
        -
            name: subject
            label: 'Subject'
            type: text
        -
            name: description
            label: 'Message'
            type: textarea
    buttons:
        - type: submit
          value: Submit
    process:
        -
            freshdesk:
                name: '{{ form.value.name }}'
                email: '{{ form.value.email }}'
                subject: '{{ form.value.subject }}'
                description: '{{ form.value.description|nl2br }}'

Let's look at the parameters of the freshdesk form action:

• name: Name of the requester.
• email (required): Email address of the requester. If no contact exists with this email address in Freshdesk, it will be added as a new contact.
• subject (required): Subject of the ticket.
• description (required): HTML content of the ticket.
