What Help Scout does
The tool, in plain language.
Bring Help Scout conversations into Specky so repeated customer language is easy to spot.

- Searchable source context
- Recurring themes
- Evidence-backed product decisions
The job this connection does
Why would a product team connect Help Scout?
Make the useful context in Help Scout available when you need to answer a product question.
Specky pulls from Help Scout on a schedule
Specky checks Help Scout for new activity when your workspace syncs. You can also run a sync yourself whenever you need a fresh read.
Know what this connection is for.
A useful integration is clear about its boundary: what Specky can receive, what it returns to your product workflow, and what it deliberately does not do.
You provide
- Accessible Help Scout conversations and threads
- Optional mailbox selection
- Status, tags, and customer context returned by the API
Specky gives back
- Support language as searchable product evidence
- Mailbox and tag context for triage and prioritization
- Source-linked quotes for briefs, PRDs, and decisions
A real example
A cluster of conversations asks for CSV export. Specky groups the language, links it to the source threads, and lets you compare it with usage evidence before creating a ticket.
Questions you can ask in plain English
These are the kinds of questions this connection helps answer. Specky keeps the source attached so the answer can be checked, not just trusted.
Connecting Help Scout
Here’s the quick version. The setup guide walks through every field and screen.

- 2
Complete the OAuth flow or use a client-credentials token for an internal integration.
- 3
Give the token permission to read conversations and copy the resulting access token.
- 4
In Specky, open Settings → Integrations → Help Scout, paste the token, and optionally add a mailbox ID.

Before you connect it
How does Specky use my Help Scout data?
It becomes part of your Product Graph, where you can search it alongside related feedback from the rest of your stack. The source stays attached, and your workspace data is not used to train AI models.
Will Specky import my existing Help Scout history?
Yes. The first sync brings in recent Help Scout history, then Specky keeps up with new activity after that.
What do I need before I connect Help Scout?
You will need OAuth Access Token from your own Help Scout account. The setup guide walks you through each one.
How long will this take?
Usually a few minutes. You create a credential in Help Scout, paste it into Specky, and you are connected. Step-by-step instructions are in the setup guide.
Can I disconnect Help Scout later?
Yes — go to Settings → Integrations whenever you want. Disconnecting removes the connection and the data it brought in.
Can I use Help Scout on my plan?
Every plan can connect integrations. Your plan sets how many can be active at once, and a few providers are limited to Scale. Settings → Usage shows where you stand.
