Help Scout Add-On

Overview

The Gravity Forms Help Scout Add-On allows you to integrate your forms with your Help Scout account to automatically create customer support tickets from form submissions.

Customer service is a tricky business to get right. With the popular Help Scout platform, you can support your customers and your team to ensure everyone stays informed and satisfied. The Gravity Forms Help Scout Add-On helps streamline this process by turning form entries into actionable support requests.

Gravity Flow Integration

When a workflow includes a Help Scout step, Gravity Flow ensures that the standard post-submission Help Scout feed does not execute automatically. This gives you complete control over when a Help Scout ticket is created in the workflow.

This is ideal for workflows where a ticket should be created only after approvals, reviews, or other steps have taken place.

To add a Help Scout step to a workflow:

  1. From the Form Editor screen, navigate to Settings → Workflow.
