Question on: Help Scout
Could there be a voice call integration in the app in the future?
At the moment we use Aircall to call our clients, it would be much easier to be able to call from HelpScout directly.
Hey RolynnAnne,
I'm Anthony, a member of Help Scout's support team. We have an existing integration (included in all of our plans) with Aircall that allows you to make calls directly from Help Scout.
An admin within your account can set up this integration by going to Manage - Apps - and searching for Aircall
If you need help or have questions, please don't hesitate to reach out...either via live chat in the Help Scout app or by emailing help@helpscout.com
Here is a page with more information: https://www.helpscout.com/help-desk-integration/aircall/
Best,
Anthony

Question on: Help Scout
can you run a report that has all attachments shown or together, sorted by date.
id like to save the attachments. they are mostly receipts i'm saving
Hi Pam,
You can do this!
You'd do this by building a workflow automation with the "has attachment" identifier as the "condition" and then filter a report based on the populated identifier field (I would recommend a custom field but you could also use a tag).
I'm happy to help with this! You can reach out to me directly at anthony@helpscout.com or chat with our full support team from within the Help Scout app!
Best,
Anthony
