Help Scout tools on your AgentCalls phone line, during the call.

Connect Help Scout to your AgentCalls phone line and your agent can work with your support data while it talks to customers. It can find an existing customer by phone number or email, read their recent conversations, and add a new customer record when a caller is not in your system yet. It can also save a phone number or address to a profile and open a new conversation so your team picks up the request. You connect Help Scout with your own credentials from its settings, so your agent works inside the same account your team already uses.

What your agent can do with Help Scout

  • Look up a customer by phone number or email when a caller rings in
  • Create a new customer record with contact details and address
  • Save an additional phone number or email to an existing customer profile
  • Open a new conversation so your support team follows up on the request
  • Add a chat handle or custom customer property to track account details

Help Scout exposes 129 actions. You choose which ones the agent may use and whether each runs during or after the call.

Inbound caller with an existing account

  1. Caller

    Hi, I'm calling about my order. The name is Dana Whitfield.

  2. Agent

    Thanks, Dana. I found your account. Can I confirm the email on file is dana.w@brightmail.com?

  3. Caller

    Yes, that's the one. I still haven't had a reply to my ticket from Monday.

    I'd like to set up a service plan for my shop. My name is Omar Haddad.

    omar@haddadcoffee.co, and we're at 14 Market Street, Austin.
