You can test this integration and send a test by taking the following steps:
1. Visit your status page.
2. Click on the flag (report an issue button next to the needed monitor).
3. In the pop-up window, enter your email (the email of the reporter will be visible in the Freshdesk support portal) and the description of the issue, hit Submit.

One important thing to note is that with the Freshdesk integration, it cannot publish service status changes in the ticket automatically, it is just used for reporting issues.
