Census + Help Scout: Sync trusted data to delight customers and proactively reduce churn

Census + Help Scout: Better together

Today we’re thrilled to announce our partnership with Help Scout, a powerful customer success platform that combines email, live chat, and a knowledge base to enable businesses to deliver help with a personal touch.

Together, Census + Help Scout is the easiest way for customer success teams to do more with their data. Using Reverse ETL, data and operations teams can send trusted data from their source of truth to business tools for action and automation.

✨ Customers using Help Scout and Census can self-serve with data in the warehouse, and power operational use cases such as:

• Calculating account health scores: Use all your internal customer data in the warehouse to enrich accounts and users with health scores, then trigger operational alerts to help users proactively resolve issues for at-risk customers.
• Improving visibility and productivity: Display product usage metrics next to tickets and increase visibility so account reps don’t have to check 5 different tools to get the full picture.
• Prioritizing tickets: Use web, product, and billing data to identify VIP accounts, then automatically route & prioritize requests from users associated with those accounts.

Now, customer success and support teams can get the data they need at their fingertips, without relying on engineering favors. 🚀

How Help Scout uses Census internally for Revenue Operations

In addition to customer success, Census empowers data-driven operations across your entire business, including sales and marketing. Help Scout’s Revenue Operations team uses Census internally to sync their customer data in Google BigQuery and Looker to business tools like Salesforce and HubSpot, and even back into the Help Scout app itself.
