Help Scout Integration

You can integrate your Freemius account with Help Scout to enhance your customer support workflow.

This integration allows you to display relevant customer information captured by Freemius directly in the Help Scout sidebar, helping your team access important customer details quickly and provide more efficient support.

For each ticket, the related customer information will be automatically loaded. The sidebar output should look something like this:

Help Scout Custom App

  1. Log in to the Freemius dashboard

  2. In the left sidebar, navigate to Integrations page and click on Help Scout submenu item.

  1. Log in to the Freemius dashboard
  2. In the left sidebar, navigate to Integrations page and click on Help Scout submenu item.
