    Your rules

    You control every decision.

    When a conversation escalates, to whom it's routed, and exactly what your agents receive. Every rule is yours.

    When it escalates

    Define triggers by topic, sentiment, channel, or time of day.

    Who receives it

    Route to the right team or agent based on skill, language, or workload.

    What gets passed

    Choose exactly which data travels: transcript, tags, customer records, order history.

    Or automate fully

    Add internal notes for agents, pre-fill responses, or resolve end to end with no human.

    See it in action

    A routing decision, in real time.

    The integration

    Your mailbox.Your AI. One workflow.

    Shopify-native actions

    Refunds, order modifications, subscription changes, and return labels. Certainly executes these autonomously via your store, not just answering questions about them.

    Every conversation, accounted for

    Resolved queries log as closed conversations. Escalated queries arrive with full context. Help Scout reporting stays complete.

    Pre-populated context

    Every escalation includes the full transcript, AI-generated summary, detected intent, language, sentiment tags, and any customer data pulled during the conversation.

    Channel-agnostic

    Web, WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, email, SMS. Certainly handles the first touch on any channel. Help Scout receives the outcome.

    The economics

    Why pay euros per conversation when it costs cents?

    Every conversation Help Scout processes costs you. Certainly resolves conversations for a fraction of that price before they ever become a conversation.
