Help Scout conversations from Alenta escalations

Connect a Mailbox API access token and mailbox id. Escalations open conversations in the mailbox your team already works from.

All integrations

About a minute to a working agent. Nothing goes live on your site until you install the snippet.

Animation: a visitor chats with the agent and the result is written to Help Scout during the conversation.

Shared inboxes stay shared — including AI handoffs.

The problem

Help Scout is the source of truth for many support teams

Escalations that never arrive there create parallel threads and missed SLAs.

Point it at your site and watch it read.

The guarantee

If your agent does not capture a single lead in its first 30 days live on your site, that month is free.

A lead means a visitor who left contact details or booked an appointment — a number you can read off your own dashboard, so neither of us has to take the other’s word for it. It has to be installed and your site has to be getting visitors; we cannot conjure traffic that is not there.
