Integration
Connect Help Scout and HelpCrunch
When New Conversation fires in Help Scout, your agent runs Add Customer Event in HelpCrunch, or Chat Assignee Updated in HelpCrunch to Add Customer Email in Help Scout. Describe the whole flow and it is built, tested on every scenario and kept running.
What the catalog holds today. Ask for anything missing and your agent reads the API documentation and adds it.
Build solutions, not workarounds.

Questions
Help Scout and HelpCrunch, answered
What can start an automation from Help Scout?
Any of Help Scout's 4 triggers in the catalog, including New Conversation, New Customer, New Mailbox and New User. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.
What can your agent do in HelpCrunch when something happens in Help Scout?
Any of HelpCrunch's 19 actions, including Create Chat, Send Message, Update Chat Department and Update Chat Status. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.
Can it also run from HelpCrunch to Help Scout?
Yes. When something happens in HelpCrunch, your agent can act in Help Scout too. This page covers both directions: HelpCrunch's triggers and Help Scout's actions are listed here as well.
Do I have to build a connector for Help Scout or HelpCrunch?
No. Both are in the catalog with their triggers and actions. You describe the automation; your agent builds it, tests every scenario and keeps it running.
Can my AI client use Help Scout and HelpCrunch without building an automation?
Yes. With your AI client connected to APIANT, ask it to do something in either app once and it runs that action on the spot. Ask for an automation and your agent builds it, tests every scenario and keeps it running. One connection covers both.
What happens when something fails?
Your agent works that out for you. It plans the failure paths along with the happy path, then tests every scenario before it ships.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. Every plan includes the agent, including free, and building from your own AI client spends no assistant credits.
