Setup 


To get started with the Help Scout-Commerce7 integration, log in to Commerce7 and click on Apps from the main menu. Click on the Help Scout app, and a pop-up window will appear. 

On the Secret Key input box, type a maximum of 40 characters for the secret keyword. Please remember this password since it will be required at a later date.

Now you need to build your custom app on Help Scout following the next steps:

  1. Log in to your Help Scout account as an administrator or account owner
  2. Head to Manage > Apps in the navigation bar.

  1. Click the Create button (on the top of the page).
  2. Click the Create App button (on the left sidebar).

  1. Complete the form using the following as a guide:

Change the {tenantId} for your own Commerce7 tenant id. This can be obtained from the URL on your Commerce7 instance and would be the part that appears before the  .admin.platform.commerce7.com.

In the example above, the tenant ID is treefrog-digital, the Callback URL would be: https://helpscoutapp.tfdapps.com/?tenantId={treefrog-digital} 


  • Secret Key: enter the secret key you set up when installing the app
  • Mailboxes: select the mailboxes where this app should appear.
