how it works

Flow & configuration

01

01 - CONNECTED

OAuth2 custom app authorization

Authorized users establish the secure link by creating a custom OAuth2 application within Help Scout using Planhat's specific redirection URL. This configuration establishes the data bridge required for Planhat to access and fetch conversation data without requiring broad administrative permissions.

02

01 - CONNECTED

Email-based identity matching

Planhat uses the End User’s email address as the primary unique identifier to map incoming conversations to the correct customer record. When a match is successful, the conversation appears automatically in the Activities History tab and directly on individual Company and End User profiles.

03

01 - CONNECTED

Related domain save logic

To maintain data integrity and prevent irrelevant record creation, Planhat applies a domain-specific save rule: a conversation is only stored if the email domain of at least one involved End User matches a Related Domain already established on a Planhat Company record.

04

01 - CONNECTED

Historical fetch and real-time updates

The integration functions as a one-way inbound sync from Help Scout to Planhat. During initial setup, teams can trigger a "Fetch all history" action to import all conversations created or updated within the last six months. Following this backfill, Planhat auto-creates or updates records in near real-time as interactions occur in Help Scout.
