Connect Help Scout and Nytimes
When New Conversation fires in Help Scout, your agent runs Find articles by criteria in Nytimes, or New top story in Nytimes 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.
