Use Cases

Unified customer communication, amplified by AI

See how teams managing shared inboxes use AI agents to respond faster, keep contact records accurate, and never lose track of a conversation across channels.

Instant Context for Every Customer Touchpoint

A customer emails about a shipping delay, having previously messaged on WhatsApp about the same order. Your AI Agent searches Helpwise conversations by the customer's email, finds both the email and WhatsApp threads, and consolidates the context into a single view. The agent responds with full awareness of the prior WhatsApp exchange. The customer never repeats themselves. Your team sees unified history across channels.

Overnight Support Without the Night Shift

A customer sends an urgent email at 3 AM about a service outage. Your AI Agent retrieves their Helpwise contact record, identifies them as a premium client, fetches the latest conversation thread for context, and responds with the known issue status and estimated resolution time. It adds an internal note flagging the VIP status for morning follow-up. Premium clients get immediate acknowledgment. Your team arrives to clear context, not a cold inbox.

Contact Enrichment During Every Conversation

A customer casually mentions switching from a free plan to enterprise during a support chat. Your AI Agent captures this detail and updates their Helpwise contact record with the new subscription level as a custom attribute. It also tags the conversation for the sales team's attention. Your CRM stays current without manual data entry. Sales gets a warm handoff from a support conversation.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the AI agent search through Helpwise conversations?

The agent uses the Get Conversations endpoint with search terms, status filters, assignee ID, requester ID, and team ID parameters. It supports pagination for large result sets. This lets the agent find specific threads by customer email, topic keyword, or current status without scrolling through the entire inbox.

Can the agent add internal notes visible only to my support team?

Yes. The agent uses the Create Note endpoint with the private flag set to true. Private notes appear on the Helpwise conversation thread but are invisible to the customer. This is useful for adding AI-gathered context, qualification details, or handoff instructions for your human agents.

What authentication does the Helpwise integration require?

Helpwise requires both an API key and an API secret for authentication. You generate these from your Helpwise account settings. Enter both credentials in your Tars dashboard when adding the Helpwise tool. The dual-key setup provides an extra layer of security for your inbox data.

Does Tars store any of my Helpwise conversation or contact data?

No. Tars queries Helpwise's API in real time during each conversation. Messages, contact records, and team data are fetched live and used only to respond to the current request. No inbox content, customer communications, or contact details are cached or stored in Tars systems.

Can the agent update customer contact records in Helpwise?

Yes. The agent uses the Update Contact endpoint to modify name, email, phone, organization, and custom attributes. When a customer shares updated information during a conversation, the agent pushes those changes to Helpwise immediately, keeping your contact database current without manual edits.

How is this different from Helpwise's built-in automation rules?

Helpwise automations handle basic rule-based tasks like tagging and assignment. Tars adds intelligent conversation handling, understanding customer intent, pulling data from multiple sources, and composing contextual responses. The AI agent works alongside Helpwise automations, not replacing them, adding a conversational layer on top of your existing rules.

Can the agent manage conversations across multiple Helpwise mailboxes?

Yes. The agent retrieves all mailboxes through the Get Mailboxes endpoint and can search conversations within specific mailboxes. If your support, sales, and billing teams each have their own Helpwise mailbox, the agent navigates between them to find the right thread and context.

What happens when the AI agent cannot resolve an issue and needs to escalate?

The agent retrieves the team list from Helpwise, identifies the appropriate team based on the issue type, and adds a detailed internal note to the conversation summarizing the problem and customer context. Your team picks up the conversation with full history. The customer experiences a seamless transition from AI to human support.

“Powerful tool - and there's so much more still to explore!”
I love the flexibility of the TARS chatbot design tool. The ability to drop in a new gambit and easily de-link and re-link gambits before and after it saves HOURS of time lost if I had to regenerate from scratch. TARS stands out for its flexibility, consistent performance, and outstanding support.

“Best in class for lead generation”
TARS is an essential tool within our lead gen strategy. I started to use it a couple years ago, and the platform evolved to focus on results. You can integrate your Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and AdWords conversion tag to track results and measure your campaign. You can also integrate with Zapier, which opens a lot of possibilities. Compared with static landing pages, we have seen an increase in conversions and more engagement.
