Limitations
Using an adblocker (other extensions) in Freshdesk
The integration widget may fail to load properly if an adblocker or other extension is active in your browser while working in Freshdesk. Currently working with the Freshdesk Developer team to get this fixed.

No, you can only authorize one workspace for the app. Pushing notes to a different workspace requires using an API token from the other workspace.
Can users update notes in Productboard from Freshdesk?
No, if additional responses are added to a ticket that is already pushed from Freshdesk and you would like to push those to Productboard, a new note in Productboard will be created.
