When you connect your Help Scout account with Plain, we will import:

- all your end users as Plain [**customers**](/api-reference/graphql/customers)
- all your conversations as Plain [**threads**](/api-reference/graphql/threads). We will import all conversation threads as messages, and all internal notes. We'll map every HelpScout conversation status to an equivalent Plain thread status.
- all the conversation tags as Plain [**labels**](/api-reference/graphql/labels)
- all attachments that were previously added to conversations in HelpScout, will be added to threads in Plain

<Note>
We will only create new records in Plain, we will never update existing ones: - once an end user
is synced into Plain, further changes to that end user in HelpScout (e.g. changing their name)
will not be synced into Plain. - if a customer or label is modified on Plain after syncing them
from HelpScout, further syncs from HelpScout will not override your changes on Plain. - the same
applies to threads and notes.
