# Help Scout

Integrating Help Scout with Chatbase allows your custom agent to automatically escalate complex customer issues to your human support team by creating a ticket directly in Help Scout. The AI agent generates a Help Scout ticket that includes a clear summary of the user’s issue along with the relevant conversation context.

This ensures that when a case requires human attention, your support team receives all the necessary information upfront, eliminating the need for customers to repeat themselves. The AI handles routine inquiries instantly, and when escalation is needed, Help Scout becomes the system where your human agents step in to resolve the issue.

This guide will walk you through the steps required to connect your agent to Help Scout and configure automated ticket creation for smooth handoffs to your support team.
