What This Workflow Does

This automation solves a common challenge for businesses using Help Scout for customer support and GetResponse for email marketing. When new customers contact your support team, their information often needs to be manually added to your email marketing lists. This workflow eliminates that manual step by automatically creating GetResponse contacts whenever new customers are added in Help Scout.

The integration ensures your marketing team can immediately engage new customers with welcome sequences, educational content, or promotional offers. By connecting these platforms, you create a seamless customer journey from first support interaction to ongoing email communication.

How It Works

1. Trigger: New customer in Help Scout

The workflow monitors your Help Scout mailbox for new customer creations. This could be when a customer submits their first support request or when your team manually adds them to Help Scout.

2. Data extraction

Make.com retrieves the customer's contact information including name, email address, and any custom fields you've configured in Help Scout. This data is prepared for transfer to GetResponse.

3. Contact creation in GetResponse

The workflow creates a new contact in your specified GetResponse list using the customer data from Help Scout. You can configure which fields map to which GetResponse contact properties.

4. Optional follow-up actions

You can extend the workflow to trigger additional actions like adding tags, starting email sequences, or notifying your team about the new contact.

  • Ecommerce businesses using Help Scout for customer support
