Help Scout is a customer support platform used by over 10,000 businesses worldwide.

With built-in automation workflows, a self-service knowledge base, and AI-assisted replies, Help Scout is designed to help growing teams deliver responsive, personal support without operational overhead.
Connecting Help Scout to ilert bridges the gap between customer-facing support and technical incident response.
