Help Scout Tutorial

Introduction

Help Scout is an easy to use help desk software that enables small companies to provide their contacts with personalized support. With our integration you can convert conversations into Help Scout conversations to keep track of your customer interactions.

Create account

Step 1

Go to the **Add-ons** section and select the Help Scout configure option.

Step 2

Just configure the add-on to fit your needs. Then click "Update settings".

Step 3

Next, you have to authorize our add-on to access your Help Scout account.

Step 4

We will redirect you to your Help Scout account. If you have not been logged in there already you have to do so now.

Step 5

Once you allowed access you'll be redirected to your Help Scout add-on configuration in the Userlike Dashboard.

The add-on is now ready to use. Please note that here you can always re-authorize access to your Help Scout account, e.g. when you accidentally revoked access in your Help Scout settings.

Sending conversations to Help Scout

In the Message Center, you can now manually send conversations to Help Scout via the action bar above the conversation or via chat command in the input field.
