Brainfish connects to Help Scout to centralize knowledge and power automation for incident response and threat intelligence platforms. It ingests conversations, mailbox workflows, and knowledge base content from Help Scout, then turns them into precise, contextual answers directly inside your incident response and threat intelligence tools. Teams that manage alerts, investigations, and security communications use this combined view to reduce repeat questions, standardize guidance, and close gaps before they trigger bigger issues. With Help Scout as the engagement system and Brainfish as the intelligence layer, AI customer service supports faster incident handling, fewer escalations, and clearer in-product help for every incident response and threat intelligence user.
Why use Brainfish + Help Scout for incident response and threat intelligence?
Brainfish + Help Scout for incident response and threat intelligence is an integrated support stack that unifies conversations, knowledge, and in-product security guidance.
Brainfish acts as the AI knowledge layer, while Help Scout remains the system of record for security conversations and help content. Brainfish ingests Help Scout conversations, tags, custom fields, and docs related to incident workflows, playbooks, and threat intelligence processes. It then delivers role aware answers across your incident consoles, Help Scout inboxes, and user facing portals.
This integration keeps support consistent across channels, including web widgets, knowledge bases, and embedded experiences inside incident response and threat intelligence tools.

After:
- Answers auto update when Help Scout docs or saved replies about incident response and threat intelligence change.
- Role based help appears inside consoles using Help Scout context such as queues, tags, and mailboxes.
- Analysts see suggested replies in Help Scout powered by the same Brainfish knowledge that supports in product experiences.
- Security and operations leaders view patterns in questions and refine playbooks, triggers, and routing rules faster.
