"Helpscout is very CX user friendly for handling emails"
5/5
What do you like best about Help Scout?

I feel helpscout is a best tool compared to all other competitors who are still in the learning stage of email management. The number of workspaces, modifications, feature rich tool helps in effective management of all inbound customer emails. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Help Scout?

The thin line between switching between auto and manual workflow, which can trigger 1000's of responses to closed emails is a problem, there needs to be a dialog box warning users the result of action while setting up a workflow. Ive triggered 2000 email responses for already closed email just because of 1 toggle switch, which I did not notice until some other person reported. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The way emails are produced/created can be confusing with the newest update, but once you get the hang of it it's not so bad. I do prefer the original style from 2020 when we first started utilizing Help Scout Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
