How to Integrate Forms with Help Scout in WordPress

Turn form submissions into Help Scout conversations

Connect your forms in WordPress to Help Scout and push submissions to your account as conversations. You can build custom conversation forms for your website or use mailbox-based templates to create them quickly.

The integration can create a conversation when a form is submitted and lets you choose the Help Scout mailbox, conversation status, conversation type, assignment, and whether to send the mailbox auto reply.

WS Form supports field mapping for Contact, Conversation, and Company fields, including custom fields configured in Help Scout. You can also add custom mappings, map choice fields to tags, add static tags, include an internal note, and send file uploads or signatures as attachments.
