Help Scout Integration

The Help Scout integration equips your support team with the ability to gather visual context without ever leaving the mailbox. By generating a unique recording URL straight from the sidebar, you can quickly ask customers to show rather than tell. As soon as the client finishes capturing their screen, a private note containing the secure video link is instantly appended to the active conversation.
