Keep everything organized

Get all of your support requests into in a single queue, or create multiple inboxes for different teams, email addresses, and brands.

Collaborate with teammates

Whether you have a team of 3 or 300, Help Scout keeps everyone on the same page so nothing slips through the cracks.

  • Private Notes

    Send teammates private notes with @mentions to collaborate on problems before replying to customers.

  • Saved Replies

    Create a searchable library of answers to frequently asked questions, then insert them into replies in two clicks.

  • Collision Detection

    Avoid duplication with real-time indicators showing when someone else is viewing or replying to a request.

  • Tagging

    Tag customer conversations to automate workflows, categorize types of requests, and create detailed reports.

Put a face to the name

Everything you need to know about the customer is in the sidebar — contact information, previous conversations, and data/activity from other apps.

Inbox zero in less time

With workflows, you can set up powerful automations to take care of repetitive tasks using simple if/then logic.

“If the body contains vegan, assign the conversation to Josie and add the tag recipe.”
If BODY contains VEGAN
Then ASSIGN TO JOSIE and ADD TAG(S) RECIPE
“If an active conversation has the Refund tag, copy it to the Refund Requests folder.”
If STATUS is equal to ACTIVE and TAG(S) contain REFUND
Then ASSIGN TO JOSIE and COPY TO FOLDER REFUND REQUESTS
“If an active conversation has the Delivered tag, send an email to the customer and change the status to closed.”
If TAG(S) is equal to DELIVERED
Then SEND AN EMAIL TO THE CUSTOMER and CHANGE STATUS CLOSED
