What Does the Help Scout App + Cordless Integration Do?

Cordless's Help Scout Integration automatically syncs the following data with your Help Scout inbox:

  • Synchronise all call logs between Cordless and Help Scout

  • View customer details from Help Scout when you receive a call in Cordless

  • Access AI summaries of conversations and links to call transcripts/recordings in your Help Scout mailbox

By default, the integration logs summaries directly in Help Scout, and a quick link to Cordless is provided next to the summary for the recording and transcript.
However, we can easily change the configuration to log call transcripts directly in Help Scout if you wish.

How the Cordless + Help Scout Integration Improves Customer Team Workflows

For customer-facing teams

  • Cordless automatically displays a contact’s Help Scout information before agents answer a call. Agents can quickly access the relevant conversation from the call, getting the full context as they work with customers and prospects.

  • After each call, the call activity and call summary are automatically logged in Help Scout, along with quick links to the transcript and recording. Agents can focus on helping customers, reducing the time spent writing notes.

For customer support leaders

  • Cordless conversational intelligence enables customer support leaders to streamline their workflows. With call summaries readily available in Help Scout, they can easily scan conversations instead of reading through notes.

  • Cordless also allows support leaders to significantly reduce the time spent on QA with helpful tools such as sentiment analysis, call tagging, and Ask AI, a highly customisable ChatGPT-powered feature that automatically highlights information about what matters to each team - first call resolution, churn risk, complaints, agent behaviour, and more.
