Practical ways you can use GitHub and Help Scout

Log new GitHub issues in Help Scout as tickets

When a new issue is reported in GitHub, Zapier can automatically create a Help Scout ticket for it. This ensures that business owners or their teams can use their help desk to track and manage customer-reported bugs or issues effectively. It streamlines issue triaging and communication between development and customer support.
