## Plus, all the little things support teams love
### Get a boost from AI
Recap long threads, edit and translate replies, or even create a first draft,
all with a click.


### Snooze
No rush to reply? Resurface the conversation at a later date automatically with
snooze.


### Send Later
Schedule a reply so the customer gets it at the perfect time.


### Workflows
Automate the tedious but critical tasks that keep your team (and Inbox)
organized.


### Views
Tackle the queue your way with custom filters to organize your conversations.


### Saved Replies
Add proven answers to common questions or situations with a few clicks.


### Multiple Inboxes
Give every department or product its own dedicated place for support.


### Channels
Close those extra tabs and handle messages from social, Shopify, and more in
Help Scout.


### Meet Beacon: your embeddable support hub
#### Answer instantly with AI
Customers can chat their way to fast solutions from your help content 24/7 —
even for complex questions!


#### Keep human help within reach
Whether you offer live chat, email, or both, your team will always be within two
clicks.


#### Save customers time
The customer portal lets them quickly access previous conversations and send
replies.








### Get closer to customers with in-app messages
#### Welcome and onboard
Help customers start strong with a friendly nudge toward your best resources.


#### Gather feedback and NPS®
Understand how customers feel in context. Use NPS or pick from our library of
surveys to get a read on specific experiences.


#### Share what’s new
Use modals and banners in-app or on your website to get attention on promos, new
features, and important updates.








### Reporting that tells a story
#### “What’s our volume across channels?”
Understand the “why” behind your volume so you can make the right
adjustments.


#### “How’s our response time?”
Measure your team’s activity in the queue and get a sense of the factors
contributing to wait times.


#### “Where can we improve?”
Get a bird’s eye view of support team performance, both as a whole and
individually.








### Stay organized automatically
#### Assign the right person for the job
Make sure messages for sales actually get to sales the first time, no
redirecting necessary.


#### Never miss important messages
Whether you want to resurface urgent conversations or flag refund requests,
workflows do it for you so no one slips through the cracks.


#### Simplify the queue for your team
Help everyone get more efficient with custom Views that group conversations.
