Product Details

What is Intercom?

Intercom brings AI-first Customer Service to improve experiences for customers, support agents, and managers. The AI-first platform is built on a single AI system, with three major components:

AI Agent: Customers no longer wait or get deflected. AI Chatbot provides instant responses, 24/7, to most questions. Only complex interactions transition to tickets.

AI Copilot: Agents no longer manually, slowly look things up. AI Copilot is ever-present, connected to all data and systems, and provides information in real time. Instant ramp time for new agents, and agents needing to know new things.

AI Analyst (Coming soon): Leaders no longer manually compile reports without full coverage. AI Insights proactively provides a holistic view across 100% of conversations, with clear suggested areas of improvement.

Intercom states that customer service teams from more than 25,000 global organizations, including Atlassian, Amazon and Lyft Business, currently use Intercom to deliver efficient and personal customer experiences at scale.

Intercom Features

  • Supported: Operational efficiency: Uses AI, Bots and Rules to reduce support costs by freeing up support teams from repetitive questions and tasks.
  • Supported: Productivity: Helps to ensure service teams only work on high value questions in a collaborative Inbox.
  • Supported: Solves known customer issues by helping them before they get in touch: Sends proactive messages to get ahead of known issues and reduce inbound support volume.
  • Supported: Customer engagement by providing direction: Shows customers what to do next without waiting for them to contact support and ask.
  • Supported: Customer satisfaction through conversational support: Answers questions immediately in the channel they arise, or the channel that customers prefer.
  • Supported: Cohesive customer service: Supports working together in one platform.

I don't know if my use case applies to the question. But if this is the case, our Intercom database is integrated with customer success tools, user behavior analysis in our solution and countless charts in power bi. And I guarantee it works very well. Cross-feeding data across different solutions is a necessity and Intercom is a facilitator for this.

Our company has integrated Intercom with our Slack channel along with email as well, ensuring that we get notified of customer inquiries across multiple platforms so that we can reply in a convenient and timely manner. I do not know what other services Intercom connects to as setting up those connections is outside of my job role.

Right now we don't have any of our other tech stack integrated with Intercom. We will likely connect to Jira and would love to connect to Hubspot if we can. Maybe Slack as well. We're pretty slim with our tech to ensure we're not unnecessarily spending, so when we use something it has to have tons of value.

We use it mainly with social tools. We don't have the ability for it to integrate into our other programs, like our customer database, currently but we are switching those so perhaps with the new programs we're going to be working with, this will integrate better.

We use plenty of other apps from Intercom's app store including: Slack, Instagram, Facebook, Statuspage, Twitter, Zapier, Supportman. Most helpful is definitely supportman app which is 3rd party I believe and allows us to send agents performance metrics directly to a Slack channel on a weekly basis. That and social media message integrations I like the most.

We have an integrated Intercom with Jira, but I personally do not cooperate in this area, so I am not able to say anything more.

Intercom conversations with customers also feed to the relevant contact in our CRM (Hubspot).<br>Intercom conversations are also visible in a slack channel for anyone who cares to watch the conversations unfold. <br>Stripe syncs with Intercom so we can see customer subscription info right in Intercom during a support ticket/conversation.

I use Intercom and Stripe for my organization to take customer billing issues and look deeper into their origin, helping reset billing periods to keep customer accounts active, and more. I also use Stripe to make sure free staff memberships are credited and that duplicate accounts do not get charged twice per billing period.

We use several tools to develop and integrate into our apps, such as ADA, Forest, AppFollow, Typeform, and a few other tools to manage our day-to-day. The intercom makes things very easy to use. It is super simple to add software if required. I have never had any issues adding new features and have never needed support to do so.

We use Intercom alongside Intercom and Whatsapp to allow our clients to message us through external platforms to support their needs.

This was incredibly easy to set up!

My company integrates Intercom with a CMS to handle all the subscribers information: new subscription, cancelled subscription, sessions, devices used by the customer, status of the subscription, etc.
