Helpshift’s Custom Analytics provides a flexible and highly customizable way to explore support data, enabling teams to build tailored reports and dashboards directly within the platform. With secure, complete data access and full control over reporting, teams can shape insights to their specific needs, make faster decisions, and drive a more data-driven approach to support.
It also includes pre-set templates—ready-to-use, best-practice dashboards that can be used as-is, duplicated, or customized—making it easier to get started and adapt reports quickly.
SDK X 10.5 for Unreal is now available. Regular SDK updates are essential to maintain optimal application performance and ensure compatibility with upcoming features and releases.
For a detailed list of all the improvements, please refer to the Release Notes.
The shift from reactive support to proactive player success is here. The Proactive Engagement Open Beta is now live from April 6 to May 31st.
Proactive Engagement enables you to reach the right players at the right moment with targeted in-app and push messages. Instead of waiting for tickets, your team can reduce churn, resolve issues early, and drive meaningful engagement through timely, context-aware outreach.
The Power of Real-Time Context
While you can launch campaigns using existing support data, the true potential of Proactive Engagement is unlocked with User Hub. By passing metadata at session start—not just during support interactions—you gain a real-time, 360° view of your entire player base, allowing you to engage beyond just users who raise tickets.
Key Use Cases to Transform Your Strategy:
Automated VIP Onboarding: Instantly enroll players into managed VIP programs as they hit spend thresholds
Incident Mitigation: Proactively notify affected users during in-game bug issues to reduce ticket spikes
Churn Prevention: Re-engage “Whales” or top spenders who haven’t logged in or have stopped spending for 7+ days.
Closing the Loop: Automatically follow up with players after a complex ticket is closed to ensure satisfaction.
Beta Offer: Get started today with a complimentary pool of 500,000 messages to use during the 8-week beta period. Post-beta usage will transition to a consumption-based model at $0.01 per message sent.
To get started, view how to set up a campaign and send your first notification here.

This enhancement adds native OAuth 2.0 authentication support to External API Requests (EAR), enabling secure integrations with third-party services directly within the Helpshift platform. Instead of relying on external proxy infrastructure for OAuth handling, the authentication logic will be embedded within the EAR framework itself.
By managing OAuth and key handling at the application layer, this approach simplifies integration, reduces operational overhead, and improves scalability. It allows teams to securely connect external systems while benefiting from centralized security management, easier maintenance, and faster rollout of updates across the platform.
