Freshdesk App Marketplace link
You can view our app description and see more information here: https://www.freshworks.com/apps/freshdesk/cobrowseio_1/​
Installation instructions
Register for an account at https://cobrowse.io/register.​
Make note of your account licence key at https://cobrowse.io/dashboard.
Generate a new private/public key pair following our article: https://support.cobrowse.io/generating-cryptographic-keys-for-jwt-authentication​
Make sure you can access the contents of your private.pem file, as you will need to copy it later.  For example, using the command cat private.pem in the directory of your downloaded key will print the contents to a terminal window.
You must keep your private key secure at all times as it grants access to your account.
Install the Freshdesk app from the app gallery (Admin -> Settings -> Apps and search cobrowse.io) or from the marketplace link: https://www.freshworks.com/apps/freshdesk/cobrowseio_1/.​
Add your licence key and private key when prompted (include the first and final lines that look like  -----BEGIN/END PRIVATE KEY-----). Cobrowse.io API can be left as-is, unless you are using an account on our EU Cloud or a self-hosted instance. 
Add your licence key and private key in the boxes. 
Afterwards, click install for the app to install. You can check successful installation by going to Manage Apps in the Admin settings to see if Cobrowse.io is there and enabled.
The app is installed and enabled. 
The app should then appear in the left-hand sidebar after one or two page refreshes (you may need to log out/in again).
The app, once loaded and our SDKs have been installed into your website/apps.
To make devices appear (as in the screenshot), your next step is to install our SDKs for your platforms. You can find the links for each platform here: https://docs.cobrowse.io/​
