Use this interactive demo to learn how to automate Help Scout conversations into Intercom using a Zap.

Quick summary

This walkthrough shows you how to connect Help Scout to Intercom using a Zapier automation, so that trigger events in Help Scout automatically create corresponding actions in Intercom. Setting up this Zap requires no code — just selecting your apps, authenticating accounts, mapping fields, and publishing.


Steps

  1. From your Zapier dashboard, select Zap to start building a new automation.
  2. Click on the Trigger field to begin selecting your trigger event.
  3. Search and select Help Scout as your trigger app.
  4. Select a trigger event from the available Help Scout options.
  5. Connect your Help Scout account by authenticating it within Zapier.
  6. Map your trigger details and click Continue to proceed.
  7. Click Test trigger to verify that Help Scout is sending data correctly.
  8. Search and select Intercom as the action app.
  9. Select an action event to define what happens in Intercom.
  10. Connect your Intercom account by authenticating it within Zapier.
  11. Configure the action details and click Continue to move forward.
  12. Select Test step to validate the Intercom action works as expected.
  13. Once the test is successful, click Publish to activate your Zap.

📌 Why this matters

Connecting Help Scout to Intercom via Zapier eliminates the manual work of syncing customer support data between two platforms. When a trigger event fires in Help Scout — such as a new conversation or tag — Zapier automatically executes a corresponding action in Intercom, keeping both tools in sync without any custom code. This integration is essential for support and growth teams that use Help Scout for email-based support and Intercom for in-app messaging, ensuring no customer context is lost between platforms. Automating this workflow reduces response times, prevents data silos, and lets teams focus on customer outcomes rather than repetitive data entry.
