About Help Scout
Help Scout layers SLA depth, availability-aware routing, and account context onto the shared inbox.
Help Scout is deepening the operational layer of its shared inbox. Recent releases expanded SLAs to track next-response time, added workflows that fire around SLA deadlines, introduced availability statuses that drive auto-reassignment when teammates are away, and surfaced account health through a Company Profile view. The cadence is steady and tightly themed around support-team operations.
