Each approved app submission* will be eligible for the following prizes:

  • Exciting rewards worth $100 (INR 10,000 for developers based in India)
  • A 30-minute session with a Freshworks app development expert for app review, feedback, and guidance on creating a stunning user experience
  • A feature in Freshworks’ blog along with other winners, and digital swag like Freshworks Developer Community badge, Wall of Champions, and more stuff to show off your expertise!

*Note - Only one approved app per developer is eligible for the main cash reward. However, all your app submissions will be considered for category-wise prizes, so you have a chance to win more! Stay tuned for more details!:sparkles:

Is the Custom Objects EAP only available for the freshdesk platform at this time? Will we have this ability in freshservice soon?

Hi @Zach,

We are starting with :freshdesk: freshdesk at the moment. However, the eventual goal is to cover other products including :freshservice: freshservice. Nevertheless, let us know your use-case (or) feel free to DM me! :slight_smile:

@Juhi_Singh I created a topic at the event to show my application that I developed, do I need to do anything else?

Thanks, @taylorbyks. You don’t need to do anything else. That’s what we needed.
