Joining them lets an incident in PagerDuty leave a note on the affected Help Scout conversations, and lets a conversation tagged as an outage raise a PagerDuty incident. Support and on-call engineers work from the same facts.

It uses List Conversations in Help Scout, filtered by mailbox, status, tag or a search query you describe, so only the conversations you care about are touched. From there it can add a note, reply, or replace the tags on each one. ### ### Can a Help Scout conversation open a PagerDuty incident? Yes. The New Conversation trigger in Help Scout can feed Create Incident in PagerDuty, and you can say which service and urgency to use and which conversations qualify, such as those in a particular mailbox. ### ### What can start an automation from Help Scout? Any of Help Scout's 4 triggers in the catalog, including New Conversation, New User, New Customer and New Mailbox. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in PagerDuty when something happens in Help Scout? Any of PagerDuty's 26 actions, including Add Team Member, Create Incident, List On-Calls and Create Note on Incident. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from PagerDuty to Help Scout? Yes. When something happens in PagerDuty, your agent can act in Help Scout too. This page covers both directions: PagerDuty's triggers and Help Scout's actions are listed here as well. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for Help Scout or PagerDuty? 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 PagerDuty 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.
