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