Setup guide (opens in a new tab)SendGrid handles the email your team sends; Help Scout holds the conversations and customer records behind it. Connecting them means a bounce or unsubscribe in SendGrid shows up on the right Help Scout customer, and new Help Scout customers and conversations reach SendGrid as contacts or template emails.

Questions
Help Scout and SendGrid, answered
Can I keep support agents from emailing addresses that keep failing?
Yes. The New bounce trigger in SendGrid can look up the matching Help Scout customer and add an internal note on their conversation so agents see the address is undeliverable. The same run can add that address to a SendGrid suppression group.
Will new Help Scout customers become SendGrid marketing contacts?
Yes. The New Customer trigger in Help Scout feeds the Create or update contact action in SendGrid, which upserts by email and can assign the contact to a list you name. Existing contacts are updated rather than duplicated.
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 SendGrid when something happens in Help Scout?
Any of SendGrid's 10 actions, including Create or update contact, Send an email using template, Create custom field and Create list. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.
Can it also run from SendGrid to Help Scout?
Yes. When something happens in SendGrid, your agent can act in Help Scout too. This page covers both directions: SendGrid's triggers and Help Scout's actions are listed here as well.
Do I have to build a connector for Help Scout or SendGrid?
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.
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.
