Depending on your setup, data should flow between Harvest and Help Scout (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Harvest and Help Scout
Harvest + Slack + Help Scout: When a project in Harvest nears its budget, a notification is sent to a Slack channel to alert the team, and a note is added to a Help Scout conversation (if one exists) to inform support about potential budget concerns for related customer issues.
Help Scout + Harvest + Google Sheets: This workflow tracks the time it takes to resolve Help Scout tickets against time entries logged in Harvest for related projects. When a Help Scout conversation is updated, the workflow finds associated time entries in Harvest and logs the resolution time in a Google Sheet for efficiency analysis.
