Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Kintone, Help Scout, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy." Activating the scenario ensures it will run automatically whenever the trigger node receives input or a condition is met. By default, all newly created scenarios are deactivated.

Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the Kintone and Help Scout integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Kintone 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 Kintone and Help Scout
