इंस्टॉलेशन

To get this up an running, you’ll need to configure a few things in WordPress and Help Scout.

WordPress

  1. Upload the contents of edd-helpscout.zip to your plugins directory, which usually is /wp-content/plugins/.
  2. Activate the Help Scout integration for Easy Digital Downloads plugin
  3. Set the HELPSCOUT_SECRET_KEY constant in your /wp-config.php file. This should be a random string of 40 characters.

Example

define( 'HELPSCOUT_SECRET_KEY', 'your-random-string' );

Help Scout

  1. Go to the Help Scout custom app interface.
  2. Enter the following settings.

App Name: Easy Digital Downloads
Content Type: Dynamic Content
Callback URL: https://your-site.com/edd-helpscout-api/customer_info (I recommend using HTTPS)
Secret Key: The value of your HELPSCOUT_SECRET_KEY constant.

Testing the plugin locally

You can set the plugin in some test mode.
Set HELPSCOUT_DUMMY_DATA to true and HELPSCOUT_DUMMY_DATA_EMAIL to an email address in wp-config.php to let the plugin use dummy data.
You can then call https://your-site.com/edd-helpscout-api/customer_info directly and get a reply based on the value of HELPSCOUT_DUMMY_DATA_EMAIL.

सामान्य प्रश्न

Help Scout just shows “Invalid Signature”

Make sure the “Secret Key” setting for your Help Scout application matches the value of your HELPSCOUT_SECRET_KEY constant. This key is used to authorize requests coming from HelpScout.

Great

We have been using this for a couple of years. Works amazingly well. Huge timesaver!

Huge time saver!

Using the plugin on two websites with thousands of customers, and the plugin has saved us hours of time and efforts! It's easy to look up customer records with a single click and manage their Licenses. Thanks a ton, Thomas, for sharing your fantastic work with us!

Makes my workday so much easier

If you are using Easy Digital Downloads, and run your support through Helpscout this plugin is a must. It's really simple, and it works. It saves me tons of time looking up customer records, licences, processing refunds, etc. Really makes Helpscout a much more viable tool for running your customer support and technical support. @webzunft Thank you so much for taking this plugin over and getting it working again. I was rather upset when it stopped working, and appeared to be no longer supported.

Indispensable

This plugin is indispensable for an EDD shop using Help Scout. It bridges the gap between the two apps, saving support agents time. It works perfectly. Thank you Thomas for picking up development of the plugin and Danny for launching it years ago.

Works great!

This plugin just works. The quality of our support, and also my entire life, is skyrocketing due to being able to see customer data in HelpScout. Thanks!

बदलाव विवरण

2.1.1

  • Improvement: check if emails field is empty and handle fallback to email field

2.1

  • complete template refactoring, e.g., to show Customer, Licenses, Orders and Subscriptions separately, props @Spreeuw
  • refactor data collection, props @Spreeuw
  • support EDD 3.0 and newer add-on versions, props @ashleyfae, @Spreeuw
  • edd_helpscout_customer_licenses to filter license query response, props @Spreeuw

2.0

The original developer Danny van Kooten stopped working on EDD Help Scout since he no longer uses it.
The development of the plugin was taken over by Thomas Maier from https://wpadvancedads.com, who continues using the plugin.
Danny left in the middle of developing a better version 2.0. I decided to build in top of that because the changes show a lot potential and fixed some issues.
Please test carefully and let me know in case something is missing or not working as expected.

  • callback URL changed from https://your-site.com/edd-helpscout/api to https://your-site.com/edd-helpscout-api/customer_info, though both are working for now
