Ram Ratan Maurya (ID: 0000000744a6d481) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/11/2014 This extension is really helpful, I truly appreciate it :) However, I feel that once the options are configure for the extension, when clicked again, it should take you to the Helpscout dashboard. That would definitely be useful and save some time.
