Fin comes with a 90-day money-back guarantee. Here's how it works:
Use Fin in at least 250 conversations within the first 90 days after trial. If you're not satisfied, you can request a refund of up to $1M. Refund requests must be submitted within 90 days of starting the subscription.
Well-Suited for: 1. Mobile App Notifications: Ideal for targeted push notifications in apps. 2. Customer Segmentation: Effective for personalized marketing campaigns based on user data. 3. Event-Triggered Automation: Great for automated messaging based on user actions. 4. A/B Testing: Useful for optimizing campaign messages and strategies. Less Appropriate for: 1. Non-Mobile Channels: Less effective if the primary focus is on non-mobile communications like email or direct mail. 2. Basic Email Marketing: Other platforms might be better suited for simple, broad email campaigns without complex segmentation or personalization needs.
It's a far superior AI offering compared to other options on the market. The lack of Dev support needed in the setup and management is a huge bonus as well. intercom is clearly investing in Fin, and the constant development and opportunity to be Beta testers keep us ahead in the industry too.
The marketing push notifications are very effective, and it gives us free hand to define different business criteria to target user groups
The user experience or the message content could differ from Android and iOS, and this is a huge benefit for us
As an Architect, troubleshooting an issue is very detailed and the time it takes to troubleshoot an issue is considerably less from our previous product
Ability identify the issue from limited information shared by the customer
Clearly communicate the resolution leveraging the knowledgebase input
The resolution by Fin is very detailed and calls out all the possible solutions to the problem helping the customer identify the right fix
Fin is constantly learning from the past instances and leveraging into present and future issue resolution and thereby able to provide a good customer experience
I would like to see a report of the difference between chat and email reactions.
When using Fin for email support, it can sometimes overrespond in email threads that involve multiple people. It may react to replies from other participants and send unnecessary responses. This also happens when colleagues are included in the email thread, causing Fin to keep replying to their messages as well.
It’s not possible to remove Fin’s replies in individual email threads, which makes it difficult to stop the bot from responding when it’s no longer needed (unless you manually reply again).
We have been and will be continuing our journey with Intercom and nothing too concerning has happened that I have experienced or heard of that has us on the edge yet. If it ever happens it will be something along the lines of "Outgrowing" the use of need of the platform.
The interface takes a bit getting used to in order to know how to take advantage of everything. Some of the analytics that are available are particularly hard to find, so it's important to pay attention when customer support reviews everything, but everything I'd want and need in terms of Push and In-App messaging is all there.
It's pretty simple to implement. Naturally, there are some processes that are complex, but it's a naturally complex task that it's trying to tackle, so that is understandable. Occasionally it's not clear if one should create a new snippet for a nuanced question vs a custom answer - and then the custom answers can be tough to train.
I have not had to interact much with customer support as I have been able to find the vast majority of the answers I'm looking for within their documentation, which I very much appreciate because it saves me a lot of time. Customer support has been responsive and helpful for the most part during the couple of interactions I've had.
Intercom is the premier customer support/engagement model and it definitely has one of the top tier customer support teams as well. I don't think I have ever waited more than 5 minutes to get the information I need or get help with an issue. They are incredible and I aim to model our customer service department after them.
We've tested a bunch of different CRM tools over the years and Airship has been a winner for its functionality, features, cost, and ability to integrate with other softwares that we use. It has been great for SMS and mobile in particular. It could certainly be a one stop shop for CRM.
FIN/Intercom has a much better UI and feels more integrated than Zendesk. The reporting is also much more straight forward - using something like Zendesk Explore is painful and feels like I'm using something 10 old. FIN also integrates better with other products, and we've been able to create custom apps/widgets using the Intercom Canvas app far quicker than we could with Zendesk.
The ROI has increased more than approx. 50% (exact details to be confirmed) based on cross-channel orchestration
Using push notifications alone, we have seen a huge increase in app engagement which was a challenge before to nudge users to get back to the App after initial download
