Help Scout Integration: get reviews and send your responses

Open Integrations on the left menu and click "Add new integration";
Choose Help Scout and click “Add integration”;
Type an email that is connected to your Help Scout account. To find it go to your Help Scout > Mailbox Settings (a gear icon) > Connection Settings;
Copy the Help Scout email in the box and paste into the “Email” text field in AppFollow account;
Choose which reviews you want to receive: all, featured, only negative or positive ones (mark the number of stars) or import history;
Click “Add integration”.

The next new review you will get into your Help Scout account. It will look like this:

Add auto-translation feature to get new reviews in your language.

We mark the app store a review came from;
Mark 'popular' reviews;
Show full name of a device (for Google Play only);
Define a country or a language and device language (for those cases when language of a review doesn’t match language of a device);
Count words in a review.

If you want to reply to reviews using Help Scout, set up these integrations first:

Reply via API

Alternatively you can use AppFollow API to receive reviews and reply to them. We have a list of ready-to-use methods for that.

In case we can't publish a reply on App Store and/or Google Play, we will notify you about it in the same thread.

The most common reasons are:

Reply is longer than 350 characters. This is the limit set by Google Play for Android-reviews. For App Store maximum reply length is 5000 characters;
Settings issue, for example, password changed in App Store Connect (ex-iTunes Connect). You need to delete the integration with the store and set up a new one. Then you'll be able to reply again.

Please, note that this is a paid option. Free tier included in every plan allows you to reply to 100 reviews per month.
